Near-perfect Trustpilot average (4.9/5) across 2,099 reviews

Cons

Single-game focus — no coverage outside Star Citizen
Star Citizen's account-sharing/ToS considerations apply as with any third-party currency purchase

Before You Order From a Direct Seller

Check the stated delivery method and estimated time for your exact game, server and quantity before checking out.
Read the refund and delay policy in full; direct sellers set their own terms, and they can differ between products.
Use a payment method that allows disputes, and keep the order number and any support chat.
Be cautious with requests for extra information after payment. A legitimate order for currency rarely needs more than the character name and server.

These points describe what to check with any direct seller; they are not claims about The Impound's specific policies. Scores are editorial assessments (see Our Review Process) and are compared only with vendors reviewed on MMODude.
