I don't quite understand what the point of this is, they say it's to know who you're buying from but what exactly are people supposed to do with this information? You aren't being sent physical goods, so why would anyone need to know their address?

I'm not seeing much in the way of verification.

So in order to sell something on g2a you have to doxx yourself ..Ok? [editline]29th June 2017[/editline] Can't wait till the first stories show up of people getting send shit because they are selling video game keys on some website

They'll probably find out that a lot of their sellers live at 123 Fake Street, and many others live at the White House or other government buildings.
