I had an great experience, order fulfilled on time.
I bought 10m rs07 gp and within 2 minutes my account was suspended with no reasoning. Noone can help me either apparently...
Had a few issues regarding account's being disputed. But All was resolved instantly, Expected an email back withing 2-3 days but they replied to me within minutes and all was taken care of. The chat is fairly easy to use, The operators are easy to get along with and say what they say they are going to do. Playerauctions In my eyes is a very Legit and Trustworthy Website.
This site is so amazing, there are plenty of sites like PA, but no sites is better than this. WHY? PA offer everything that a good site should provide, secure payment, secure selling, secure buy.Im not overstating, i really love this site, and i can promise you will to, once you give them a chance. Then you will understand :) And what about the customer service? What i can say about the customer service: A big thumb up, very patient people in their customer service. Very polite, always listen, always respect full, allways try to make the customer happy. That whats all is about. Have a good day.
Pleasant transaction with seller, good website and security from Player Auctions.
My money was transferred, but I never received what I ordered. When I filed a dispute after 24 hours, I had to wait another 3 days during which the seller tried everything in the book to scam me - tried getting me to cancel the order so he could keep my money, tried getting me to cancel the dispute, tried telling me my account was invalid and someone else got it, tried telling me -they were out of stock- (this isn't supposed to be a site for illegal gold farmers anyways!)... and then, once the three days were up, the dispute went through the system automatically even though I was told by a CS that it wouldn't because he sent the seller a warning and postponed it for another 24 hours even though I told him not to because I didn't want to wait any longer... and now I have to wait EVEN LONGER, PLUS I'm being PENALIZED for something that wasn't even under my control! I'm having to wait THREE MORE DAYS for my refund, and it's not even a full refund! *I* am being *PUNISHED* because the *SELLER* didn't do his job, and nobody wants to do ANYTHING about ANY of it! DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS SITE!
It's like an ebay pool for the nerds of the internet, everyone gets what they want out of a third party middleman that protects both parties from scam. It works perfectly and bares no risk. Absolutely perfect; prices, transactions, and delivery wise.
I had trouble verifying my account as first, because the text msg wouldn't send, so i would recommend calling instead. But after that, buying the RSGP was very easy! Thank you!
It was fairly automated, but easy and I came across no problems whatsoever.
Very quick and easy procedure. Seems safe. Used paypal. Received items instantly.
The paypal authorisation and the in game delivery is nice and fast, Thank you so much!
Creating an account was easy, payment and exchange of goods was very fast, 60 dollar order in under 10 mins.
I had a little bit of trouble with the SMS Pin code but other than that it was a totally easy and very secure sign up process and the site looks great and useful...
Ordered from PlayerAuctions and really disappointed. Their mailing system which is apparently a critical part on the website is not functioning. No clear announcement on any social media pages, and yet they are allowing people to continue to buy/sell products/services when nothing can be processed. No real estimate given on when the website will actually be fully functional. Even with the nature of this business, I assumed they would be a little more professional about this ordeal and mediate the whole situation better. Makes me question whether their insurance and other policies hold up to what they advertise.
Would approach website with caution. If the middle-man (PlayerAuctions in this case) cannot appropriately resolve problems in a timely manner, one must consider whether it's truly safe. Poor communication and resolution has led me to leave this negative review.
Edit: Also, PlayerAuctions offers a 10% discount on purchases if you post reviews on this site and another site. That's probably where all the higher rating is coming from, so keep that in mind. Most of them are doing this for the discount as I assume many small/short reviews are for.
Could have explained the vetting better, other wise great.
Very prompt, both seller and site owners were most helpful
Very fast and reliable.
Paypal is easier than paying credit card.
I got billed 1.09 canadian, and the exchange didnt work for the vetting charge.
Pay pal was fast and worked well.
Sale was quick and delivery was on time. Seller was very communicative with me and the delivery was precise and double checked to ensure for high quality
Their fees is 10% of sales + more... quite heavy for a middleman service that provides little support. Another thing would be how obsessive they are with your identity; requiring you to send in extensive personal details. Not sure what they're doing with it - which is the scary part! To add on, they would message my paypal email address instead of the registered email I supplied to them to be used as contact. All in all, as legitimate as they sound and say they are, I suggest steer clear.
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...
