You need to make it possible for people to pay with credit cards. When you verify that the card holder is using their bank account the credit card takes any charge and rounds it up to $1.00. I went through the process of filling all of my information in like 4 times because of this. Finally when I switched to debit card it worked. But then after verifying that the account was mine, I had to fill in all of my information yet again. This is counter-intuitive. If you just verified that I was using my account, it is obvious that I am going to be paying with that same exact account or else you would reject my payment for not using a verified bank account. The information should be auto filled in. It is just a pain to continually fill all of that in over and over and over again. Please make your site a little more functional. I appreciate your attempt to verify bank accounts before accepting payments. Great idea, but it needs to function better. Please address this.

This is my first time using it and the easiness of it is very good i completely understand how you use and it gives you the time which you will get your items which is great compared to other sites where you just buy and u have to be waiting for forever for your items

I was a long time customer of this site. I placed an order recently like usual. I then get an email asking for my phone number, I reluctantly give them it. I get a call from Player Auctions (I think) asking me personal question after personal question. I answered a few, even though I had already gone through this process before, then stop. He keeps giggling and asking do I want to continue, I say no thank you, he then hangs up and cancels my order but they took the money.

Now they have my money and I don't have the item I ordered because they cancelled it! I tried their customer service chat and the rep argued with me instead of taking care of a long time customer.

Very clean and simple website to look at and navigate through. Security is top notch from what I can tell. I really enjoy the ability to view different sellers and buy with comfort from reputable vendors, as well as the protection the website offers is really good so no one gets burned. Overall a very pleasant experience for a first-time buyer.

This website has very slow, crappy, third party operatives that don't know anything about what they're talking about, they point you in the total wrong direction of help. They say you will get an email from them, but you never do. Don't sell on this site. They scam you out a good portion of your money.

The trade process through PlayerAuctions is excellent. There is no way for the seller to scam you because he doesn't even get paid until YOU confirm that the order was complete!
A great and reliable way of getting your in-game gold and items quickly and safely.
