PlayerAuctions provide a good platform for trading electronic game accounts, items. However, there are some dodgy sellers. It is best you check seller feedback carefully and do as many checks yourself as possible. Always best to avoid the dispute resolution process (it can be a very long process).

Good site
December 2, 2016

I had many doubts about this site since i read many negative reviews about, like scams and others. So, me and 2 my friends spend something like 70$ in this site (20$ first to give it a try and 50$ after). We have buyed key but they arrived in something like 3 hours the first time and 20minutes the second. I suggest this site ONLY for keys since i didnt buy account or gold or anything.

I'm never afraid of buying any game currency from this website because from so many purchases none have ever gone wrong. I've purchased 15+ time from here and nothing has ever gone wrong. Delivery always on time and currency always is handed at the exact amount.

I used PA to power level 2 toons. The seller claimed hand-leveling and that no automated processes would be used. Not long after my account was suspended for 6 months because of 3rd party bots. I contacted PA live chat and was told that they were swamped with people complaining about the same issue because of Blizzard's November Hammer. I was told that I would be compensated... blah, blah. I kept the chat logs, they kept making promises, I contacted them 6 times over 3 weeks and now they say there is nothing they can do. So, they string you along with false promises hoping you'll get fed-up and stop bothering them. I'm now out of pocket $55 and my account will be stripped of all gold and achievements. To say that PA sucks would be a gross understatement. This is a legitimate review, the positive ones are not!

I got scammed for over 150$, I had all the proof I needed but the customer support just shuts everyone off. They keep changing the subject and going over different stuff and don't help you with your problem or answer your questions.

Dont buy from this site
November 24, 2016

Tried to trade with 3 different off the top gold sellers on Runescape here and all off them scammed me. It's incredible that this site is not flagged. I'm sad that i trusted them and i don't think i'm gonna get back the money i spent, and also i'm sad that i didn't discover this placed before i placed orders there...

I purchased powerleveing for a line in World Of Tanks starting from tier 1 and ending at tier 10. This offer covered only one tier 10 tank for an absurd amount of money, and they didn't even play on it. They just used a bot program, and it took them 3 months to finish the order. I can't believe that this company would allow such garbage service.

PlayerAuctions have a great system in place for both buyers and sellers. This system allows both parties to have a peace of mind when making a transaction. I would highly recommend Playerauctions for a secure and quick transaction.

Thieves and Scammers
November 20, 2016

Charged me $100 then told me in order for them to follow through with the transaction(After already taking the money) I had to send them a screenshot of my bank statement with the transaction in it. So I did but blotted out everything but the transaction partaining to the purchase because its a damn bank statement with sensitive info on it. They refused to accept that stating they needed the entirety of the bank statement. This was highly suspect so I canceled my order and asked for my refund of a rather large amount. Will not respond to me and have not refunded me. They have been reported to the proper channels, stay away!

Scammers
November 13, 2016

I sold my account and the buyer gives money to the site first, and I was waiting for my money for 5 days and I didn't receive my money from the site and they started to ignore my emails and customer support always disconnected me from the chat when I told what is the problem.

Best part is you're dealing directly with real players. They understand the market, what you need, and work with you to get you just that at some of the best prices I've ever seen. I don't even even need to look at any other sites now that I have playerauctions

I bought an account that got recovered after two months. I submitted a dispute and it has been two months. I provided screenshots proving that the account was reclaims but PA said I did not provide sufficient evidence. The seller finally sent me a message saying his brother recovered the account and lost the 500m it has (over $500 worth) and then gave me back the account and PA wouldn't do anything about it.

Scammed for $1,600
October 26, 2016

Seller states that the gold was delivered, I dispute it because no gold was delivered. We both provide our evidence. Mine was solid, video evidence of the entire event. I even refresh the message page many times while recording and you see his message "Be there in 5 minutes" pop up, then 15 minutes later, all of which is recorded, a second message "Gold delivered, please confirm." There was no trade and I had it recorded. Player auctions decided the seller was legit based off of MY EVIDENCE. They scammed me, BEWARE OF PLAYERAUCTIONS.

Great Service
October 23, 2016

I love the fact that some one is taking our digital property, and across the board giving it value. If I want to resell my xbox discs I am able to go to game stop, but having the ability to do the same thing with my steam or other accounts is awesome.
