I decide to try out their site because it is written all over their site about buying accounts safely and all that. After going through an extensive process of identity verification that made me (oddly enough) feel more at ease using their services I finally complete payment verification. The seller almost immediately delivered the account and we got the ball rolling. Well, the seller or "his nephew" are still logging into the account without any way of disconnecting their device from accessing as it is a mobile app. I have messaged their 24/7 live chat which can do nothing for you but answer simple questions and refer you to another department. This is where my nightmare begins. I purchased the insurance... But yet I do not receive responses in regards to the owners still accessing the account kicking me out of the game. It has been 4 days since I have brought up the issue and I have not had a single real response to my issue. I believe their site is misleading. DO NOT CONFIRM YOUR PAYMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETE AND FULL POSSESSION OF THE ACCOUNT. No matter the instructions PlayerAuctions.com gives you in their emails. Don't trust anyone, even with a good seller/buyer reputation. I regret ever even thinking about doing this. $258 USD down the drain. I have an account that is either stolen, shared or reclaimed. Either way I am screwed with no help in sight.
I've made many purchases through this site with no fuss. But, as a seller it's nearly impossible to get paid. They promise a 3 business day hold then a disbursement to your account of record. It's been now a week and a half and yet to receive my payment from PlayerAuctions. I've contacted customer support several times and I get excuse after excuse why my payment hasn't been made. It's stuck in gateway. We havnt done our daily disbursement yadayada. After this I wouldn't trust them to place my goods or buy goods from because I don't want another unsuspecting seller to go through this with them. So think twice before posting your goods on this website. The buyer gets the goods Player Auctions gets the money and the Seller gets the shaft.
Very nice website, good idea, safe trades both on the website and in game. Will use again, very nice feedback system and ways of keeping track of orders, love it!
Best site iv found to buy gold from, competitive prices and fast delivery
Had a few issues with registering and logging in. They were solved in a timely manner. Cheers!
Simple and easy to navigate.
Good reliable sellers so far.
Work very hard to make sure its secure. And when my order payment went through i had my gold in minuetes!. Great site highly recomend!
I love PlayerAuctions. Their service is incredibly easy and reliable, and definitely safer and more secure with their PlayerGuardians security. I recommend this website 100% for all your in-game needs!
Order placed and delivered in under 5 minutes. No hassles, no headaches. Only thing worth mentioning was the fact that I needed to give my mobile phone number to receive a PIN to authenticate my account, but it panned out just fine. Would recommend to a friend.
Product was delivered on time. Product was sent in multiple denominations, which was a bit strange at first but understood. Seller is honest and prompt. Will use again.
I like how the site is based around communication. Both parties have opportunities to verify whether they are making a good decision. The website design is old and could be improved.
Playerauctions refuses to refund my money and keep ignoring my emails. Live chat are a bunch of liars who will say anything to just to get you to leave. They don't actually do what they say. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE.
It was fast and nice better than most gold seller sites
Very easy to use, quick and easy.
Seems very safe and reliable too.
Nice and smooth, no problems at all. I did well to choose playerauctions.
Atrocious customer service. Payment has been withdrawn via Paypal, however transaction still remains at "Verifying Payment" Customer support was contacted on four different occasions in an attempt to resolve the issue. Requested to have the transaction refunded, and the customer support representative went silent, and proceeded to leave the live chat approximately 20 minutes later. Seven hours after playing the order, it still remains unresolved, and refund has been unprocessed. Escalated to a dispute through paypal, if left unresolved, will escalate. HIGHLY advised to avoid this company. I will not be a returning customer.
I'm confused about when the seller comes to me and gives me the gold
You better use other services.
Very slow and customer SUPER unfriendly. You cannot purchase using paypal if you do not send them your ID photo(WTF?!)
Once I created new account they suspended it and told me use the old one where I cannot use paypal(omfg)
Ordered a TCG mount. Smooth transaction. Great seller. Would recommend.
Overall service is very good. I like this website because it provides a good platform for account traders and buyers to pursue their goods. I would like to come back if I need to purchase an account in the future. Ryan
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...
