You're correct in your assessment. eBay enforces its policies strictly, prohibiting the sale of illegally obtained goods or items violating its terms of service. They typically respond when sellers deliver faulty products unwilling to fix them. On the other hand, G2A likely has similar restrictions but may not actively remove offenders from their platform. Additionally, eBay doesn't require sellers to provide working keys, relying instead on buyer protection claims. In my view, eBay aligns more closely with Amazon's approach than with G2A.
In my understanding, controlling stolen goods on eBay isn't feasible. It's possible someone would list stolen items there without detection, and sellers could easily create new accounts with fresh information. G2A and eBay are quite alike, though eBay tends to have stricter rules. Both platforms use rating systems, so choosing a seller with a high rating is wise for smart buyers. I made this comparison specifically to highlight that both sites can be risky, not just one being similar to the other. Interestingly, I’ve been scammed twice on eBay but not on G2A—still, I received my money back.
