Usually, PlayerAuctions does pending playerauction inspection procress very quickly. However, with this past order it has been over 24 hours... well past the promised "60 minutes to 90 minutes" and the "5 to 60 minutes" timeframe. I emailed the support staff and they are completely unresponsive... I just want to feel like customer support exists...
This website is fast and easy, but most of all, it is SECURE. A great way to buy and sell LoL accounts.
Still waiting for responses. Starting to get frustrated and quite concerned about whether or not i am being refunded. Have been in contact with PA stating i would be paid within the next 3-5 days yet nothing has arisen after 2 weeks.
Hello James,
We just wanted to check on this; We viewed on our logs and I can see that the refund took only 2 business days, it should be with you already. We sent you a resolution request to ask for a revision of the review if you are amenable in changing it. Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Richard
So far I have had a great experience. Sellers has had great communication and fast delivery of item on two purchases.
I purchased an account with ( bitcoin) $62 to be exact
And my account got suspended, i'm waiting now the third day
And i only got 1 reply explaining my suspension but i still don't understand
Why did they suspend me after i paid the money?!
Seems fishy
Incase an agent read this my ticket id is *******

I've used playerauctions.com for over 14 years and never had an issue until this past week. Over the years they have been sold and rebought a couple times.
I purchased some warframe platinum and the seller contacted me promptly and the transaction was completed.The next day all the platinum was removed and the published suspended my game account. Due to their terms, the seller is completely protected and could technically buy platinum using a CC and do a chargeback after trading it away. This is what I believe happened to me, as the trade was pulled due to a chargeback.
PA took about 6 days to respond and say they can't do anything but contact the seller. The seller only spoke very broken English and has also not responded. Sad to say I was forced to file a claim for this scam and PA promptly suspended my account, which is fine since I will never use their site again.
You have been warned. It used to be good, but they are just a Chinese farm/scam site now. In case anyone from PA wants to investigate further and see what is happening here are my order #s, but you already said there is nothing you can do and suspended my account. (Orders: #******* & #*******)
I literally joined with google sign in, paid for an account to find myself suspended when I wanted to login to check the status. What the hell?
I have purchased quite a bit off this website. However after my last purchase which i ended up canceling. I have yet not recived my refund from pa. I have sent well over 4 emails to Playeruaction. I have tried contacting skrill and they told me it was on Playeruactions to fix this problem. It has been close to 1 week and havent even recived a reply from pa regarding this matter. Very frustrating

Playerauctions is a trusted website that will take care of both, buyers and sellers.
Don't be afraid to use this wonderful website to buy anything you want.
Seems like a pretty good website with a few small glitches. I currently cannot pay for an account because something is not going through, I've never had a problem with paypal before. I think it the website has some glitches because I tried to buy an account and it cancelled the order for me randomly while i was trying to buy it...
Stay away from this site at any cost if you are a seller!
When you sell your item on this site the money from the buyer goes to the site as middleman, and you will receive your disbursement after 2-5 days only if you have no pending disputes in your account, for example what happened in my case, i had over 10 successful orders and i was waiting for the disbursement day, meanwhile a buyer who had paid extra 100% of price as +1 year insurance for a lol pbe account and buyer came after 9 months back to me because riot disabled his account, so he asked for refund or replacement something that is crazy to ask comparing the price i sold it then and the price i sell it now, so well the buyer disputed after 9 months of purchase, and playerauctions are holding over 10 disbursements of my succesful orders which in total are over 100$ and the order that buyer disputed is only 6,5$, i waited 2 days expecting that playerauctions will reduce this amount from my pending disbursement but they didn't so i sent them back the required amount on their paypal account support@ playerauctions.com and i sent them the transaction id in support ticket expecting them to send me my disbursements, after 4 days they responded me with a message telling me that i have to pay the exact amount on paypal but on their other account fees@ playerauctions.com in order to refund the buyer, while they have not refunded the first transaction on paypal which i sent them the required amount.
So in conclusion i have sold 14 accounts and they are holding my disbursements for all of them (over 100$) while i have already refunded the amount(6.5$) for the issued order.
Also it's crazy to see their supports response time taking over 3-4 days while their fees are totally scam as you can see
Currency and Items: 9.99% + $0.99
Accounts: 11.99% + $0.99
Power Leveling: 14.99% + $0.99
CD Keys: 4.99% + $0.99
CSGO Skins: 4.99%
Disbursement Fees
PayPal also adds a 2% fee on disbursements.
Skrill = 2% + $0.50 per disbursement.
Which results from 12$ sale you end up taking 8$ disbursement
Which is 4$ fees for just by doing nothing, all this money from fees and they don't have a freaking legit system in case of refunds to finish misconceptions easily, even response times for support tickets are unacceptably slow for the amount of profit they receive.!
So if you are a seller AVOID this SCAM "marketplace" at any cost!
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...
