Today, I bought CS:GO revolver case key from G2A.
The seller got 100% +rep so I disabled the G2A shield.
After few hours I saw it charged me for G2A Shield too.
Now I talked with G2A costumer support and there are saying I activated it...
Im trying to explain to G2A I didnt but they dont understand.
Its probaly a bug or something like that but G2A cant understand this...
Does it happen to anyone here?
What did you do?
Anyone here can give me some tip how to get back my 2 Euro?

You have to first disable it when adding items to the cart, I believe.

You probably didn't disable it well. They made it a pain to truly disable. The buttons that would usually be "ok" are in this case "keep it on."

Shield is a scam anyway. They will help you no matter whether you enabled it or not. The only benefit you get is that they will prioritize you. But the only time I had to deal with them I disabled it and they still solved it within a day...

It's mostly when people are idiots and buy $40+ games from people with 0-3 trade feedback, not 10,000.

Really? 5 months after purchase? That seems like a really long time for a charge back to occur - most credit card companies have a 120 calendar day rule for fraudulent purchase charge backs.

It also could have been that the original seller had the key deactivated and asked for a new one.

Each time u proceed u have to keep on disabling the shield , it always activates on its own unless u keep on disabling it (Its automatic so by default it will always be on) OR maybe it has something to do with g2a shield 30 days trial or something after its ending they charge u for g2a shield

It's BS that you can't disable the shield until two days before it ends, but I guess it's still the cheapest site around so I coop with it.

that's for cancelling the subscription, he is talking about deactivating it for a single transaction.

You need to disable it at least twice. They really want to push it on you, but it can be disabled from purchase.

Always read everything twice when you checkout it says you can enable a subscription (30 day shield) its in there but people that don't read everything don't see no reason to contact support for this because they will say its your own fault because u didn't read it..

Its not a bug its just not 100% visible and if u skip through it too fast u don't see it still your own fault because u should read everything before u buy something

Stop using G2A. The sooner everyone stops funding them, the sooner they will go away.

Here one fella documented the process to quit the Shield subscription:

And this article ( http://www.fortressofdoors.com/g2a-piracy-and-the-four-currencies/ ) is so very much worth a read, if you haven't read it already.

No problems with G2A since i don't use it. If i buy/sell stuff on the second market, i go with kinguin and never had any problems so far (bought around 20 games there and sold around 5).

Yep,
And they even scammed me again...
I contact to support to ask how to disable the auto charge every month and the support told me to deactivate G2A Shield, I asked if my G2A shield will stay for this month and support says yes...
I deactivate G2A shield and now I dont have any shield any more...
And everything left to support to say is there was misunderstanding and they are sorry...
Its the support fault!
If you cant give me my 2 euro you should give me my shield back!!
I contacted to the manager and going to talk with him on that...
