What buyers report
The Trustpilot profile held 2,947 reviews at a 4.6 average on 13 September 2026: 73% five-star and 15.9% one-star, with the company replying to only 17% of negative reviews, after nine days on average. The positive reviews are about codes and items: "easy and fast delivery, codes work flawlessly" (Trustpilot, 5★, Sep 2026, US), "Excellent way to get rare items cheap and quick" (Trustpilot, 5★, Sep 2026, GB) and, from a sceptic, "Completed with half an hour and easy! All I would say is check seller reviews!" (Trustpilot, 5★, Sep 2026, GB).
The one-star side describes the guarantee's edge: "I didn't understand what evidence I needed until it was too late, I bought 4 gift cards and they all were empty by the time I went to add them. No help" (Trustpilot, 1★, Sep 2026, US). The three-day clock and the evidence requirement are the whole protection, and the low reply rate means public complaints mostly go unanswered.
Before you pay
- A recent one-star review describes gift cards that were empty by the time they were redeemed and a claim that failed for lack of the right evidence — the guarantee requires you to gather evidence inside the 3 days (Trustpilot, Sept 2026).
- The guarantee excludes transactions you completed despite having a problem: do not approve delivery until you have checked the item (Gameflip Guarantee article, Sept 2026).
- A five-star reviewer's own advice: 'All I would say is check seller reviews!' — the guarantee sits on top of a peer-to-peer market (Trustpilot, Sept 2026).
