This is a scam site!
July 13, 2014

They sold me a Steam account, and insurance. The account was reclaimed later, and they said I had no insurance. Then tried to scam me again.

Just got an email that someone had marked my rating of Playerauctions as "Helpful". Only problem is, I never posted a rating here before now. But sure enough, a positive rating in my name, siting Playerauctions as "Excellent" even, had been posted here without me knowing!

STAY AWAY!

Hello my fellow MMO worlds adventurers,

For almost 10 years now, I have been playing MMOs and gold/account trade is a huge part of a hardcore MMO player's life and thousands of dollars flow through everyday in this business. I have tried a lot of trading sites and personally to me playerauctions.com is the best because,
- Awesome and smooth self explanatory UI
- Despite the ease of use, its highly secure
- Resolution centre is very reliable and FAST!
- Live Chat giving awesome customer care
- Most off all, my money/account/gold is guaranteed to be scam proof compared to any other site/forum I tried before.
-Reliable user rating system.

I am a real user of playerauctions.com and my user id is maddytera. Goodluck and have fun on your present and future MMO world adventures.

Sold a runescape account. The buyer already tried to $#*! me up with with a random dispute for a 10% discount. After everything was completed and he could log in 1 day later he claimed that i reclaimed the account and that he wants the money back.

So obvious that he took all the valuable stuff and just wants his money back now (later more reviews on his account came in telling he was a scammer) and yet playerauctions refuses to do ANYTHING about this.

So easy to scam on this site and don't expect any help when you get scammed because even when it is obvious they still won't do $#*!.
Waiting 3 months now for my money and i will probably lose the case because i can't get my account back on runescape and even if i do all the stuff will be gone and he will claim that the account isn't how promised so i won't get my money again.

DONT SELL ACCOUNTS ON THIS SITE

Playerauctions has been great. I've made two successful sales on here and made plenty of awesome buys. Never had an issue and the fees for using their site aren't too high! I would recommend this website to all of my friends!

PayPal fails, but Skrill succeed in payment verification. Once the seller delivered the purchased items within 24 hours, without the PayPal problem, definetely I'll give a 5 stars rating.

This is the only site I go to for in-game currency and account selling/buying. I've never had an issue in the many years that I have been a member. The multiple verification system is great to make sure that both the buyer and seller are not going to get scammed. It's great that there are more than one option for buyers to choose from and you can clearly see what a seller's review is. I'll keep going here as long as I play mmo's, which will probably be the rest of my life!

Compared to other RMT sites PlayerAuctions is the most reliant and honest sites out there. They are the e-bay of RMT.

PA is very great marketplace and I happy to use it. It helps me a lot in short terms when I need it anytime.
Before placing order, I can always communicate with seller using personal messages to clarify his online status, available amount in his stock, conditions of delivery and terms if I need faster delivery than stated.
After I tried PA, I don't use any another marketplace site.
I can do my purchases using my payment card and it is really fast and convenient even with a small fee.

Once I've declined order with sufficiently big sum because previously I didn't clarify order details with seller. PA made a credit to my payment card in a few days and all my worries gone.

Actually, I'm only a buyer, not tried to sell anything thru PA yet. However, according to my experience as buyer I'm pretty sure any seller will not have any problems to develop own business using PA.

Over all I have had a very good experience using Player Auctions, I have had the odd non delivery a couple of times (but that's down to the seller) & Player Auctions have refunded in a timely fashion with no problems, on the whole its the best site I have used to buy this type of product, and as such would have no problem recommending them.

Player Auctions is a difficult company to work with. Their customer service is non-existent. Stay far far away from them.

I have been a long time user of Players Auction for me Safety comes first and price 2nd. Knowing that if I pay for a item first and that the seller wont get there money until they have a delivery conformation is a great reason to use Players Auction. Thanks PA

I have been selling through PlayerAuctions for several years now without incident until recently. For the first time, I had an issue where the buyer placed an order, then once delivery was made, decided to dispute the order. The buyer has possession of the items. The case has been escalated to the Final Resolution Committee; they have listened to both sides of the story, however, they will not make a decision. Instead they are holding the funds and have directed the buyer and the seller to work together to resolve it. The manual arbitration team will not respond to emails. I have not had any type of response from PA in over four weeks. This is unacceptable and I will not be using their website in the future.
