Confirmed buyers and sellers are a great thing to have in a business like this. Very safe and very fast! I bought a couple things for a video game and everything about the process was easy and safe.

Its a business..
May 11, 2016

Well from my title you can pretty much kind of tell my review. I have been a customer on player auctions for a very long time and its all bad. I have recently lost every account I have ever bought on this site. How? Well lets explain my review of a one star and "business" I have recently discovered what is going on here. Now people sell accounts on the site and you have the option too put a one year coverage on it right? Well after that year coverage is done do you think a company is gonna just give out its assets (accounts) or are they or the sellers gonna get they're accounts back by several ways such as they're first transaction id number or they just kept secret information. I have seen a few accounts selling the same exact account. Ex. A account has been sold a year ago similar in name and stats by the same seller it is now available for sale almost a year later (probably after the year purchase protection has ended) another Ex. A seller sells his pretty good account for $150 easy. Waits the month period or so and just gets the account back by having the proper information and IP Address that the account was made and what date it was made. Do you think they would get that account back? That's an easy $150 they can get over and over again. Now. Customer service is a joke on refunds. I literally had too talk too several people over the course of 2-3 weeks each of them saying "Oh it will be in your account tomorrow" or just simply not getting a reply until 2-4 days after my messages or the live customer support is just a joke. They take too long and redirect you too people who just simply don't care. They just don't and its an *******@Playerauctions I would be ashamed... If I could give less than a star I would.

Best secure site to trade games
May 11, 2016

One of the most pleasant and secure transaction done to purchase games at cheapest possible price. This site is easy to browse and helpful find exactly what you want. Will recommend to others to trade or buy games.

Customer service is basically non-existent; Due to faulty fraudulent systems in place, changing your personal information - which may be necessary to receive proper payment in some cases such as mine - is not possible at all. This will result in the site redirecting you to some sort of customer service albeit through email or speaking with a live representative (whom often times speak little to no English) Contacting customer service will not prove to be useful in any way whatsoever. They simply inform you that the problem - no matter what it is - must be dealt with "by another department", so they continually redirect you without giving any legitimate help whatsoever. If you are considering selling electronic services on this site, do not do it, otherwise you will never receive the disbursement to effectively scam yourself. You will be asked to verify your identity via methods that inhibit your personal privacy and protection standards and by no means should be required just to be eligible to be a seller of this site. Do not trust this site or any site affiliated with them. I have been attempting to seek due payment after providing electronic services from over 14 months ago with no success. This is a scam site.

Really easy system to navigate. Compared to other sites which tend to deal with accounts etc. this one is by far the most trustworthy I have come across yet. You can never be too cautious with these sites but their seller verification system and communication gives you the confidence to trade.

Worthless
April 9, 2016

This site support is worthless. A seller left me a negative feedback after a year. No reason why. Live chat said it would be resolved. Over a year later, nothing. I refuse to use this site until they fix this. They don't care.

This isn't to mention how hard it is using this website.

Awful awful awful company.

Bad experience using this company. Tried twice purchasing from them, problems on both orders. They advertise sitejabber on their site so I figured I would leave my review on my experience using them.

Sold an account for $600 on there, the buyer went on the account and played on it for about 4 days before deciding he no longer wanted it and disputed the order. The buyer took anything he felt like taking on the account and wanted his money back. I contacted PlayerAuctions regarding the matter and they ensured me he will not get his money as that would be scamming. About 6 days go by with no information then on 7th day the order was terminated and buyer was completely refunded. They gave the buyer his money back... Oh, wait a minute... He also still has my account. They willingly gave the person all their money back and let them keep the account. I contacted them on the matter and the individual I spoke with on chat ended up closing the session on me without giving me anything. (I have proof on ALL of this).

FINAL:
PlayerAuctions WILL allow scamming and they do. I had 100% reputation with thousand of dollars being sold on there and they allow this. I am no longer going on there and and making sure no one does business through them unless they want to loose hundreds of dollars.

On my long experience on playerauctions, it is not advisable to buy accounts on this site. Many scams except for accounts on merchants already well reputed. To purchase a currency, rarely the problems are, the more regular deliveries are late. For sale, it is clear that the costs are high, do your calculations before to know what you will actually receive. The fee is 9.99 % + 0.99 $ + 0.50 $ (for payment by Moneybookers). It also happened that I have been delays in receiving payments. They have always been resolved by contacting the online support despite a fairly long period. In summary playerauctions, is not a bad site but you have to expect some unexpected little from time to time.
