Hello,
Greetings from PlayerAuctions!
Thank you for your email concerning Order ID. Since the refund has been released, I would advise to just reclaim or recover the account from buyer's possession. Thanks!
What kind of selling website lets someone refund after the seller already confirmed delivery and then tells you to just recover it like that is possible
Hi Anthony,
I understand how frustrating it could be to receive a message like that after your trade with the buyer went wrong. I am sure there was a good reason why the agent replied to you that way. Let me check this further for you please. May you send me the order ID for this specific transaction along with your PA username?
Thanks!

Used playerauctions for a very long time! Amazing! You can't beat it. The site is very trusted and I've not had anything wrong from using it.
If you want to buy something from PA you better pray to the gods that nothing goes wrong as the support is total garbage.
Hi Chirodea,
I do apologize if you feel that the support is garbage. Due to the number of tickets that they review manually, they sometimes take time to respond to each question and email.
I'd lie to check what went wrong and get some details for you. Can you please send me the Order ID thru Private message?
I would love to hear from you again.
Kind Regards,
Bernadette
Have had pending disbursments for over a week now, has just said "now being processed"
Word of advice, update your $#*!ing site and let people know what is going on.
It really is awful customer service. I had 2 tickets open and someone responded by saying they were going to combine the 2 tickets into one... how does that help me?
Cgull21 is my account name

My account was suspended after buying an account, they did not give me a reason, all my fields are filled in correctly on the website. It's been a day and they can't answer the simplest of tickets. They're by far the worse I've ever had to deal with.
They also always go "Oh first of all we're sorry that [We have terrible service] but please do understand that [we're just trying to make a lot of money, we don't care about custommers]"
Hi Vrahmaster,
I hope you understand that there are various reasons why an account might get suspended temporarily or permanently. PlayerAuctions is only after the safety each member as well as the marketplace.
In your case, I have forwarded your username to the Risk Management department and you should receive an email within 24 hours regarding the status of your account.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.

I was recommend PA by a friend who is a regular buyer. Initially I had my reservations about it and decided to give it a shot. Boy was it worth it!
Safe, fast, reliable and best of all with amazing deals. Player Auction is becoming my go to spot deals. 10/10 would recommend. It's a steal guys.
On to my second trade now, things going smoothly. Recommended to all.
Click on what is being sold, make the payment and generally within 24 hours I'm sorted.
Fast and worry free experience, would recommend this to anyone in need of selling or buying gold. Didn't have issues so I had no interaction with their customer service but the seller was highly responsive.
Very easy way to make transactions and a great community base! There are many games each with having multiple options for items and/or sellers!
I find they have the cheapest prices out of everyone. Been to other sites and they where more higher prices
I sold an account 2 days ago(the buyer was really happy, all good) and the Disbursement time ends tomorrow on 13 July 11:30 PM PST. I was so sketchy about selling my account on this site and i even tweeted at them telling that i heard that they are not paying the sellers and they said "Hi there, r1cko. Rest assured, that is not true. I'll check your order and send you a reply soon" and im gonna receive my payment tomorrow, when the disbursement ends. So tomorrow i'll let you guys know if they are serious and legit and im gonna give it 5 stars :).
EDIT: I just received the money. It was actually really fast, i didnt expected them to be this fast. Thanks a lot, it was a pleasure :).
They hold my pending disurbements for month and support wont reply me now for over 40days. There was live chat it was faster but now its removed and they wont reply.
Hello,
It saddens us to know that you have got no reply from PlayerAuctions regarding your disbursements. I am sure there is a good reason for the delay but for more definitive answer, provide me your PA username and order IDs through private message.
I'll be happy to check this out for you and hope to resolve as soon as possible.
Looking forward to your message.
Paid 90 dollars for a service, took 19 hours for it to get processed and then the inspection was said to take 1 hour but took five. And at the end my service was terminated and i got refunded after waiting that long and I lost 8 dollars due to taxes and pentalties. Not only did I loose money, I wasted my time. 0/10

So i'm writing my next review for this website. Same situation again, website is great but terrible support. After i sold one of my account, the buyer accused me in cheating (that i used hacks to level up the account) AFTER he played on it. So i had 4 month of gameplay by myself and after my customer played the game on it account got banned. I gave solid facts to the website support that i have never hacked but instead they made refund to the buyer who definitely used some programs to get game advantage on his computer and got banned. After that i sent two messages via their contact us function and got TWO same robotic messages with the same content from two agents (probably scripted). So as a seller i do not reccomend this website because buyers can scam you like that everytime and you can do nothing about it. In addition he kept my account which is supposed at least to be refunded to me.
Here's my old review:
The website itself is a great instrument to both buy and sell. However as a seller i'm having a huge problem with disbursements. The support is awful because they simply can't answer for a trouble ticket on their support page for 2.5 weeks and my money is on hold because of that. My playerauction nickname is pinkguyelite
Hi pinkguyelite,
Thank you for providing your name and the feedback. I'll be happy to check the status of your disbursements for you but in order to do that, may you please provide me the order ID via private message?
Looking forward to your response!

No trouble with the sellers most of them are great and proffessional. However the support is terrible verification that (takes 20mins) takes hours when they start asking for personal information and then once you send it to them you wait hours before getting any response however the payment has been done. Took them 4h before sending an email saying that i have to resend all my personal information..
Hi Kevin! Sorry to know if you feel that our support team is terrible when it comes to Payment Verification. This process usually takes 20 mins, however, orders are checked individually and independently that's why it may take longer than expected depending on the queue. Since they need to be very careful when verifying your payment. Also, to prevent any fraudulent activities by making sure that the payment was indeed authorized by the payment account owner and that's the reason why they asks for IDs.
I hope this won't happen again and you'll still continue to shop on our site.
Thank you and have a good one!

Hi Steele,
It must have been confusing on your part when you receive different instructions all at the same time and I am sorry it has to be us who made you feel that way. I'd like to see what happened in your account because I'm sure, if PlayerAuctions is asking you for documentation, it is definitely for the protection of your account and the funds in it. PA's goal is to provide the best service while maintaining the security of both buyer and seller.
May you please send me your PA username and possibly the order ID involved in the incident you wrote above?
Thanks!
