I needed those credits asap cause of an in game event that’s timed. Is it ok if I go ahead and purchase another gift card or should I wait for this to go through? ---

I would recommend to NOT buy gift cards at all since the seller could refund it afterwards (after you payed hin) than you will be charged twice… very usual at the moment… ---

Same thing happened to me except I was selling and I gave the guy the stuff he bought but I didn’t get the money and I can’t contact him so I just lost two really good items ---

Can you send me your invite code via PM so I can check your issue? Also, can you tell me which error showed up when trying to open a dispute? Thanks!
