We monitor reviews for authenticity
They run a tight security and if your order goes into a dispute (which unfortunately mine did) they let the seller work on fixing the issue. The old account was kaput but they gave me a replacement of equal value. Not the fastest and best experience... but for what it's worth, it's the kind of support I'd expect for an online trade like this... so yeah, still good I guess.
I had no issues with the order but the verification takes a little while to complete
Thanks a lot for being patient with the verification process, Vincent.
It's just good no matter how I look at it. I've been looking for a source of gold that I can confidently buy from whenever I need it (because there never seems to be enough of it hah lol) and I'm just relieved they got through.
Thanks a lot for the kind review and support, Ulysses!
The service values privacy, I asked the seller that he should not contact me inside the game to avoid any issues and that's what he did, only sent me 2 messages. One when he was about to send it then again when it's done.
Private and snappy, I like it.
Happy to hear that you liked the service, Mitchell! Thanks a lot for this.
Some parts of it were inconvenient like sending them pics and such but the majority of the order, about 90%, was easy and all about just waiting to get the gold. It was also the correct amount and fast. Not too bad if you're itching to use it right away.
Thanks a lot for your patience in allowing us to complete the verification. It's much appreciated, Lucas.
The only slight annoyance is asking for the documents to be sent again. After that it was quick though. We had great communication and there was no need to complain about anything since it was the right order.
I have something I need to get soon and I just hope I don't have to do that again.
Thank you for being patient with this, Holden; some of the documents were unclear so our team requested for clearer copies which you were able to send. We appreciate your time with this. And yes, as long as there are no further changes on the payment account, it will stay verified.
They are very quick to deliver and offers are usually cheap (usually, need to look through thoroughly)
The first payment was a drag but my second order was much quicker.
Thanks a lot for your patience with the verification process, Caleb. Rest assured, you will stay verified as long as there are no changes with the payment account.
It's important to preface that your buying experience is also dependent on the seller. Not just the site. They work in tandem to bring you the goods and secure the trade.
For me both are amazing. I lucked out on a very good seller, but at the same I appreciate that there's support on the site and that I am assured if anything goes wrong. This has been an A class service so far and next time I'll be buying some goodies for this new account.
Thank you very much for the detailed and kind review; we really appreciate the effort with this, Adrian. :)
Just good vibes buying here sellers are friendly and will address any situation. So far for me at least. Made 2 purchases so far and everything is smooth.
Thanks a lot for the consecutive purchases and for this kind review, Zachary. :)
I got several rares from repeated orders and I like it a lot :) It's hard to get them myself and with stores like this you can always just get it from another gamer at very good prices.
Glad to hear about the rares! Thank you for the positive rating and continued purchases, Victor.
I wasn't sure how it'd go but by the chats I had 90% of it was pretty self-explanatory. The rest were in quick Q and A's with the seller who assisted beyond what was required.
Thank you so much for the awesome review, Samuel!
Followed all the correct steps to ensure the speed and safety of my purchase. Easy 5 stars I'll ever give and there's even more to come from me.
Thank you very much for the kind review and support, Richard. We really appreciate this!
Good quality account. I love the price and service received, the communication is the best part.
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, Maxwell!
Good people, refund without questions and made the dispute easy when I receive an empty account. Not sure what happens to seller but the important thing is they follow their protection service and its worth it.
Thank you so much for the show of appreciation, Leonard. We're glad we could be of assistance.
Everything was discussed via site chat but the delivery was made via mail.
Incredibly safe and private, I value this kind of handling for my game orders.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback, Kenneth!
Super worth it. Never had to wait a lot for the transfer to complete and just the seller being so nice is just icing on the cake.
Thanks a lot, Benjamin! Happy to hear about the quick turnaround you experienced.
They go through the correct channel for security of the buyer I am impressed by there dedication to fulfill it correctly. It was also fast! Very good transaction.
Many thanks for sharing this, Tristan. We're glad the site's process is to your liking. :)
Found so many rares here although I was not able to get them yet, I will be back for them. I settled on a small order to "test the waters" and so far I am liking how they do things (except payment verification lol but they told me you do it for the first time only so there's that I guess)
Thank you very much for the kind review, Dolph. We appreciate your part in helping us with the verification as this lets us secure the payment account.
Received timely help on an order I canceled. The seller never gave the correct details and put up a dispute. They took care of it immediately. Right now I'm just waiting for the refund.
Don't make my mistake and choose a level 0 seller. I should have chosen carefully for someone better so this is also my fault.
Thank you so much for sharing the positive experience, Martin. You can expect the refund in around 7+ business days.
The seller takes great care of communication and handling, it was super easy and I never needed to do anything other than chat and wait... and the wait is not very long. Super service! Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the kind review, Pedro!
Answer: You don't want to buy from them.
Answer: Just don't use their service. Trust me, you will save a lot of your nerves and time if you don't.
Answer: How to get started. Click the URL bar and type anything other than your terrible website. Unless you want to be scammed to lose time and money, in which case go ahead and continue using playerauctions.com.
Answer: You got scammed! So did I. PlayerAuctions is nothing but a SCAM!
Answer: Maybe this will help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playerauctions Regardless they have terrible Customer Service. Their english is not proficient to be doing business in the US and their work ethic is just terrible. It's a shame that they show the stereotypical greed of chinese who just does it for money and doesn't care what gets in the way and cuts too many corners to be acceptable to be called "The world’s safest player to player trading marketplace for WOW Gold, Runescape Gold, Guild Wars 2 Gold, ArcheAge Gold, CS: GO items and much more."
Answer: Don't do business with this company, they stole my money after my account was recovered merely a month later -- I'll be reporting them to the BBB after tonight.
Answer: Hello Mikael. Could you please try accessing the site again on a different browser? It might have just been a temporary website server issue, and this might be sorted out already. If you continue to have problems with this, please take a screenshot of where there seems to be an issue, then send it along with your username to [email protected].
Answer: Absolutely. As a buyer, your payment is secure with us and will not be released to the seller until you click confirm on our website, once you have decided that the item/gold/account that you bought is good and complete. If you find any problems with the sale, you may dispute it and if the sale you received is not as described, you will be issued a refund. As a seller, your payment will be released once buyer is satisfied with the sale, and this guarantees that you will receive payment as opposed to transacting blindly on the internet with someone you don't know. In the case of disputes, if you've proven that you were able to deliver the sale successfully and as described, you will get the payment. Please note that we enact the User Assumption of Risk as stated in the front page of our website, in that we cannot guarantee that all trades will be free from risks. However, by carefully securing your order and being wary of scamming attempts, together with our team's efforts to secure an order, this can be thoroughly mitigated. I can elaborate more if you'd like, just post another question, Sabrina.
Answer: They will make sure you don't get refunded. Be sure of that. There sites a massive scammed just Google them...
