I am happy with the transactions and security of the trades.
PlayerAuctions is the most professional and organized trade site I have used.
The purchase experience have always been good. Feels much safer than making direct purchases from sellers. Never had an instance of a unfilfilled order.
I love playerauctions. I've exchanged thousands of dollars on their site with no problem
I have bought some accounts on PlayerAuctions, and I must say it is truly the best account trading place out there, if you want a quick and secure trade.
Overall I've been happy with PA. I've been able to sell a bunch of stuff that's been lying around on my account over the past two months which has brought in some much needed extra cash.
My only complaint has been the lack of action regarding some bugs in their system which has resulted in them failing to send me disbursement. I've done a lot of transactions, so it's definitely not a common occurance for those worried about it. Their customer service has been very polite and apologetic over it and promising me it's going to be made right, but both instances are still unresolved. Neither were large payouts, so it's not a pressing issue, but still annoying.
Still 4 stars because it's a great way to buy and sell items at the best prices on the web.
Player auction is by far the safest place to buy and sell accounts and in game currency. It is in essence the amazon of virtual goods. With increases emphasis on buyer and seller protection is truly a no brainier. The only foreseeable problem is with the game developers and the companies finding ways to combat the buying and selling of currency and accounts. Regardless though I know I'm in safe hands when I buy or sell anything on player auctions.
The site is really hit or miss. When everything goes well, it goes wonderfully. Quick transactions, no issue from the seller, quick payment when selling something. Prices are always the cheapest and site always has the widest selection with the most competition. It is what keeps me coming back to the site, even with all the issues I have.
When it is bad, it is really bad. I have paid for account insurance on accounts, and have been asked for information that does not exist for that game. I will be accused of lying by the staff, and be out hundreds of dollars for buying an account for a small game. I have since stopped purchasing accounts through the site, since the customer service cannot be counted on to do their job and take the information I am able to give them in order to file a claim. Web site is very sluggish as of late, taking upwards of 30 minutes to load through and purchase something. I have sold items and not been emailed that it has sold, but then received the email 20 minutes later that my delivery guarantee has expired. I had my own account, and my friend also signed up for an account and would occasionally use it while he was over my house. My account was then banned, even though it was older, and I was told I had to use my friends account. We now share the account, and when the issue of identity verification pops up, their customer service has no idea why two people are using one account and how we can both have different names and addresses.
I would not recommend purchasing accounts through PlayerAuctions, but will not use any other site to purchase currency or power leveling for any game.
Awful, although most of the basics of dealing with trading stuff is in the website, there is a lack of options when delivery inst successful which may leave the buyer or seller unsatisfied or without his good or money.
Playerauctions is the best online game exchange service i have ever used i highly recommend everyone looking to buy or sell online game services to use playerauctions, there is no other company that i know that is more secure or user friendly out there. Weather your a buyer or seller you can rest assured that you'll always get a great deal with Playerauctions!^^
Player auctions is very helpful, its the only RMT site i actually feel comfortable making gold purchases and whatnot they give you full security and guarantee your money back if anyone decided to something wrong their customer service is amazing they keep in touch constantly and are very helpful i am a PA user 4 life thanks soo much^^
A great website for trading accounts and items, a very secure place have not had a bad transaction :) I think it was very much needed and is thriving on the success of the demand that was require for this type of market.
All is good except the big fees...! Really big fee :(
Was easy, cheap, and got my account fast. Will recommend to all my friends!
Playerauctions is very secure and is a popular website for Old School Runescape. I use it for accounts and to sometimes buy gold. Sometimes it may take a little while but it always comes through.
Overall, I've been very satisfied. The site has the best variety of league of legends accounts and reliable customer service.
However, the site can be very buggy at times (I often have to use multiple browsers in order to get certain features to work. Ordering with paypal doesn't work in chrome, sorting accounts doesn't work properly in firefox, etc.), grammar/spelling mistakes are common, and email formatting is often screwed up. I would love if these things could be improved.
I Love PlayerAuction! It is user friendly and they are real good when it come to my needs. I buy / sell game / accounts alot. I have sold quite a few things on this side and im glad to say i have never had any kinda problem or scammers scaming me
I have been with playerauctions for a few years now and always gotten great support. One time out of my roughly 30 transactions i purchased an account that i lost control of (the guy retrieved it or something) and PA's team got me my money back so i didnt get bit that hard! It's been awesome watching the website grow over the years and playerauction is the safest way to sell online goods.
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...

Hi Gabriel,
We have a very defined process for dispute resolution, and manual arbitration. Could you provide your order ID # so I could understand your experience? I'd like to understand more with regards to the lack of options, and what'd you'd ideally like to see implemented for that process.
Cheers,
PA Team
