Speed and care went into the order
February 27, 2025

I really like that they took great care of the handling but even so they were fast in completing it. Very useful for time restricted people and it lets you enjoy what you purchased right away.

More to come!

Great services on farming and boosting
February 27, 2025

Easy to track how your leveling is going, the seller sent updates like every 5-6 hours and he did so well. Met all requests with some extras here and there, definitely a 10/10 job. Once I have some extra to spare I'll definitely call on him again.

Have done many wonderful trades as I continue to use this site. So far, had 2 bad trades but site refunded me though the wait period is long at around 2 weeks for each. Still, all transactions have been honest and good. :D

Quick processing!

Pretty good. Was not sure how long it'd take but it was 30 minutes give or take, still not very far off from the 20 minutes promised.

Met expectations. All went well.
February 22, 2025

The order was handled by all4gamers. I chose his offer because his feedback sounded promising and I'm glad I did, he really is a 5-star seller.

One thing I noticed is that whichever seller you find, they will always have negative feedback - I guess nobody really is perfect and that you have to take this whole thing with a grain of salt.

Level 2 Seller at PA
February 22, 2025

Not a newb with sites like this, I use them a lot since 2020+ but PlayerAuctions is my favorite because I get more buyers here. Other services are fine, they all have good security but I use this more.

Sometimes there are issues, but maybe 80-85 % the order is always smooth. And I always receive my money. :D

Finally had the urge to buy here and it went well. NGL some parts of the verification was creepy but after I tried another similar site, I was asked to do the same so apparently it's the standard for these guys. For the order itself, it was great. We had good communication and everything was sent to me correctly. The verification is a little sore spot for me but I would buy here again.

Do not use this site
February 21, 2025

They do not vet sellers and provide no assistance with refunds from scammers. I sent multiple emails asking for help and I was told I would have to wait, over 7 days of having money tied up for no reason

Hi Nathan,

I'd like to note that there may be a misunderstanding with this; you're giving us a negative rating for a service you received. Our system assisted you with a refund and you are being refunded now.

When you placed the refund request, our team informed you that your seller was still within their delivery guarantee. In order to keep cancelations fair, they may only be done if the seller's delivery guarantee has lapsed/expired already. In this case, you chose an offer where the seller's delivery guarantee is 48 hours. It has not taken 48 hours yet when you canceled the order. In this scenario, if they are still within their delivery guarantee, they are required to approve your cancelation.

Perhaps what you wanted was to cancel the order without giving the seller their right to confirm the cancelation. I'm afraid this is unfair; you are not canceling an order with us, you have not ordered from us but from your seller. What we do is facilitate the trade between two entities: you and the seller, and again, to keep this fair, we need to hear from both parties. Barring that, if no response from the other entity is made, that's when we can close the order after 72 hours. At no point is this "7 days".

We acknowledge your freedom to write any review that you wish, but your appeal to the public to not use the site is contradictory to the service and protection you received. Our system provided you a refund. If this trade had been without a middleman service such as PlayerAuctions, you may have had difficulty getting your money back — if at all. It is false that you received "no assistance" with a refund. It even states in your screenshot where the order status is "Buyer canceled early", not pending or anything.

The vetting process you are looking for is also contradictory to the services we offer. If you are looking for guaranteed trades where cancelations will not happen, then there would be no point in a middleman service like us. We exist to ensure your trade is facilitated and that you receive the order — and if you don't, you will get a refund. That is what happened with this order.

Regards,
Richard

As long as you don't have dispute on order it is a good and easy website for sales, but some buyers are demanding and unreasonable, its this orders I have issues with. New sellers need to know and be careful of that. Other than that, its a good website and does its job.

Refunded order
February 20, 2025

Seller was honest about not having any stock. I was offered 20% more on the next order although I'm skipping it for now since I also need the money. Just great that I was still able to cancel it without any altercations happening.

Good site for sellers
February 20, 2025

Nice site to make some good money for your extra gold. Take note, your sale price is not the exact earning because they have a fee. As a seller you need to prepare that they charge you for the service, it's not free but the service is good due to sites security and buyers.

I am planning to level up my account once I have more gold to sell. For now, thanks!

Refund service
February 18, 2025

The seller made attempts to give me a dud account and I reported it to them immediately. It took 4 days because they require proof of it which makes sense and they finally closed it and refunded me. Not the best turnaround but I guess that protection stuff really means something. I'm sorry I'm not gonna buy another one not you guys fault but this got me stressed a bit. Thanks for the refund though.

Ordering requires some effort because you need to show some identity and this takes a few minutes, so know this going in, it's not instant. Thankfully, only needed to do that once.

The other side of it is a legit service though. You get what you pay for and sellers so far have been professional. No scummy crap going on and just business for these guys. I've bought gold twice and tried different sellers and both had good handling.

Everything worked as expected
February 15, 2025

Ngl verification made me nervous and I hesitate to send my ID's to them but after checking several Reddit post it looks to be a normal process even for other sites. I took a jump and everything was perfect during delivery. For now, all good...not sure if I use it again but this service for the order is honest and no problems caused.
