The only problem I have with playerauctions is the staff is very slow about handling orders. They will keep your money up to 2 months before they give a refund. About handling cases... other then that the site is very good
Player auctions is the only legit site where you can be sure your getting what you pay for and in a timely fasion. Buying selling dosn't matter your money is protected with them
I've been with Playerauctions for 10.5 years and i have tried other buy/sell sites for games. I have bought, sold and traded on playerauctions and other sites of the same nature. Playerauctions has only become better over the years and is by far the safest, easiest, most reliable buy/sell/trade gaming site out there. I highly recommend playerauctions for all your gaming needs.
Love this site been a member for years and I would not buy from another RMT site. The community that buys and sells are very trustworthy and playerauctions handles any dispute fast and fair. Been in the MMO industry since 1999 and still have not found a better RMT site.
I really like using player auctions. However, I feel that at times, the security measures are quite redundant and really slow down the trading process. I understand that they are in place to prevent scams, but I feel like there must be a way to streamline the process. I also would like to see the community expand significantly as finding good deals is sometimes hard
Its very secure website to trade.
I have been a member for about 2 years now but I have never had problem with player auctions.
There are quite large number of buyer and sellers meaning seller must compete with each other leading to low price.
Great website.
Game stuff trading - Something that when we hear, we imagine scams, frauds, loss. PlayerAuctions changed the definition of it! In regards of other Game-trading sites, PlayerAuctions holds the best image in my eyes. I agree with some sellers that service charge is a bit high but it is worth saving folks from scams. Even when I find someone to trade off the site, I ask him to make a offer on PlayerAuctions and then, let's get the thing rolling.
Salute to PlayerGuardian technology of PlayerAuctions!
The online virtual goods marketplace is full of scams and misinformation. I've tried lots of them before but Playerauctions.com is the only place I feel confident that I will receive what I pay for in a timely fashion as well as securely. I only use PA for my virtual goods needs now and I see they are expanding into the tangible goods market now. Good for them. I can't recommend them highly enough.
I have bought and sold with player auctions and they have been nothing but honest and friendly with their service. They are the most secure trading website I have seen.
And NO. I am not any way affiliated or in collaboration with PlayerAuctions in Any
Way shape or form. Other than using their site for my own gold selling/buying.
I would have rated it 5 stars but support has been lacking regarding an account that was reclaimed by the owner it has been an ongoing issue since December 2013.
It is very great site of trading and it is secure. I had some problems but after all everything went fine.
Great experience I can always find what im looking for on there
Awesome site! I use Player Auctions every day and I am 110% satisfied 7 days a week! You'll find many offers and orders for your virtual goods and their customer service is also great! 100% recommended!
I've been on their live support for 9 days straight trying to get payment for an account I sold, I have the buyer added on skype and talk to him daily no issues with the account, he's happy with it, every day I get told something completely different from what the other operator has told me, I've been told 6 different things and it's really frustrating i've been asked to wait patiently which i've done and when it comes for the day for me to get payment, I get told I need to e-mail *******@playerauctions.com by a Ralph, then I come into the chat and spoke to a Leonard and he told me my payment would 100% go out today and that it was an automatic process, then I go into the chat and speak to a Larry who not only told me something completely different he also hung up on me in the in the chat their customer service is a joke, and I think I won't ever get my payment of $150 lesson learned don't use this site they will give you the run around until you forget about your payment or just stop caring
Been using PA for over 6 years now since the site got re-launched. I have had -zero- problems with the platform in that time. Having had bad experiences on other sites, as well as individual trades, I don't think I would ever conduct another gaming exchange outside of PA.
Worst site ive ever used. I had to make 3 accounts... Yes 3 because they suspended the other two because I used my real information? Makes no sense. It gets even better. I finally try to make a purchase then they want to verify my credit card by asking for the statement (which they charge you $. 50 which isnt much but still) and i didnt know what that was so i had to keep doing till i figured it out, they took about $4 from my card. Then i made the purchase and they had to call me to verify it AGAIN and since I was sixteen they needed my parent when it was my own damn credit card. So i told them to call me the next day and they never got back and took my $13 that i paid on my card. Worst site ever and their customer support is the worst there is. Don't use this site if you dont want stress.
Hi Kristian,
I apologize for your experience on our platform. Due to the nature of our business, we take payment security very seriously. Because you admitted to using fake information with your last purchase, I am unable to confirm what happened with your two previous account creations. If they were suspended then there it may be because you had failed internal security checks, or there may have been linked accounts for which we are usually able to resolve fairly easily.
For your third account for which you were able to make a purchase, it appears that the payment was denied during the processing security checks, i. E. your own payment gateway denied the transaction. The funds were actually never captured by us, therefore if the funds haven't been appended back to your payment source, I would recommend getting in touch with your banking institution.
Because you are under the age of 16, we take additional security precautions due to the fact you are a minor. Even if it is your own card, having your parent give consent to the purchase helps us to further confirm authorized payments (since to get a student card, you are required to have a co-signer).
It is true, that some people may feel that the process of "authenticating" their first purchases can be stressful, but for honest traders, they usually see the process to the end and eventually are able to establish a long and trusted trading history on our platform. I apologize you were not given the appropriate support you would have liked, but unfortunately, our risk and security protocols are part of what makes PlayerAuctions so special... we go to great lengths to ensure, and verify the trust factor of people entering our marketplace community.
You are welcome to reach out to me via PM here, and I would be happy to look into your other two account suspensions, and see if there is something I can do to help with that.
Cheers,
Jacob

Went really well and was quite fast only took a few mins
Process was extremely smooth and fairly quick. I've never used this site before and was a little hesitant. I took a chance and was happy. Would definitely recommend.
I read many positive reviews on the other sites so i decided to buy from PA and all i need to do now is just wait and see..
I have been doing business there for over 5 years now. I buy and sell accounts and game currency. They are completely legit. Problems can take longer to resolve than I would like but they do get resolved in a reasonable amount of time. Like less than a week. Don't know why they have such a low rating then they provide an outstanding service.

Hi Dominique,
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the delay in disbursement for this order was due to the buyer initially reporting problems with the delivery and security of the account.
After a thorough review, as well as the buyer confirming later that the issues were resolved, your payment was sent into the disbursement queue. It appears that your payment was disbursed to you at midnight on the same day your review was posted.
Cheers,
Jacob
