Customer support was excellent! I was nervous at first using this site but everything turned out great and I got what I purchased very fast! This site is legit!
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!
All round, a really good experience with purchasing. Although... still too early to tell as I havn't received my product yet :)
Purchased Runescape virtual goods through them, process went quickly and smoothly. I will be using this site in the future.
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.
Easy & fast. Goods were delivered within 15 minutes. Extremely professional.
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
My first experience with PA was awesome~
They made it safe for both the seller and buyer and was very efficient while doing so.
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.
Great website, i like it because it's safe and secure, so can't ask for more then that, i'm so glad i found something like this.
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!
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
Great website payment was taking a while to go through contacted customer supp and it was authorized almost immediatly, i feel safe using it.
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.
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...
