I mostly sell but every now and then I buy for my personal use. This site works wonderfully all the time and its the perfect store for gamers.
I have purchased several times and though the seller is different everytime the transaction remains smooth and fulfilled.
Thank you very much for the kind review and repeated purchases, Amelia.
Everything was smooth from communication to delivery. Price was so so but I guess for the availability of offers and sellers, it was worth it.
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, James.
This is it folks. Best place to get your gold.
I've had several deals already and they are all amazing.
No scams, just honest trading on the part of the sellers.
I will continue to use and it will recommend it to in-game friends.
Many thanks for the very kind review and recommendation, Lucas.
Visited them originally trying to find a specific account but ended up buying a completely different one. It's that good.
Thank you very much for choosing us, Benjamin.
The seller had me a follow a very organized process to have my character boosted. He also met the agreed time and the account was amazing right after. :D
Thanks a lot for sharing the smooth experience you had, Isabella.
In 30 minutes tops the order was done without any issues. I would surely buy something here again.
Thank you so much for the amazing review, Mason.
I bought a league account from an absolute $#*!, at first when i bought the account, everything was welll until i noticed i wasn't able to change the phone number on the account( with the phone number you can easily claim the account back even after changing the email and password). The guy tells me that the number on the account was an old number that he changed three years ago and told me not to worry about. One month later after i completed a game i get a noti saying i logged into a different device. I contacted the seller and told him that he logged me out the account and he has not responded me. When i filed a dispute the only thing he asked me was what is the account name and never responded to me after that. I have bought an ultimate skin on the account as well as a epic skin totaling to about $50. Plus my debit card information is on the account. He has denied to refund me my money and im in escalation right now and i doubt it will be in my favour because i see stories about how playerauctions will always defend their sellers. So as of now he took the account with 7 skins added to the 421 as well as my debit card. Guy is absolute scum

Thank you for explaining your situation and for bringing this up to us. We'll do another investigation on the order and let you know ASAP how it goes.
After I verified my payment, the seller was already online to transfer it to me. He confirmed my channel and IGN and in about 5 minutes it was done. Got what I paid for and I'm happy about this.:-)
Thanks a lot for the positive order confirmation, Ethan. Happy gaming!
Save for the payment process, 90% of the order was smooth and hassle free. Everyone I talked to was also really nice.
Thank you so much for extending your patience with the payment process. We are grateful for the kind review, Garreth.
After payment the rest were done completely by the site. It's so convenient and I love this.
Thank you very much, Andrew. We're very happy to hear about your experience. :)
The worst support you can find, they respond for weeks and with template messages, they don't solve the problem, they blatantly take my money, in the end they took away my account with 400+ dollars and the support is silent.
Hi Crueliti,
You provided "Crueliti" as your order #; we checked but this isn't a username on the site. Could you please edit the review and include your username or one of your order IDs? We'll check on this and see how we can help with your case.
Best regards,
Richard
Thanks a lot for the positive review, David.
The transaction and payment was a little worrying. Ok maybe not litte, a lot, but for some reason it was... OK? Didn't get scammed and charge was just right. I kept checking my card and it seems to be ok lol I will update this review if something bad happens but for now the purchase is alright.
Thank you for extending your patience with the verification process, Shane; rest assured, you will only be charged for any order you place.
Everything went well. Got a little worred that it's delayed but it still completed correctly. Seller apologized and still fulfilled it so we're all good.
Glad to know everything was finished; thank you so much for this, Denzel.
It was all good. Quick payment and delivery and there was never any problems.
Thanks a lot for sharing the smooth experience you had, Andy.
There were sooo many good offers and all sellers were great to talk to. The delivery was correct and I had no bans of any sort. Way to go!
Happy to hear this, Chris. Thank you so much and happy gaming!
Quite the game a long time and wanted to get back. The site made it easy with a toon at just 50 bucks and it had all the skills I needed.
Amazing and super worth it!
Thanks a lot for sharing the positive experience you had; I'm glad you were able to find the account you liked, Twix.
The seller had a very good and smooth process I followed.ngl it was a bit sus at first but I trusted it and it went down nicely
Thank you so much for the kind review, Alexander.
UNFORTUNATELY HERE IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RATE LESS THAN 1 STAR, PLAYERAUCTIONS ARE LUCKY FOR THAT.
Wanted to sell my account, as the result the buyer opened a dispute, posted several screenshots from another account with less power an said that he was zeroed exactly the day he bought the account. You will not believe, but the person who was reviewing the dispute solved the dispute in favour of the buyer, as the result for me > no money and no account. The account was posted on website for 3 months, and exactly the day the buyer bought it he was zeroed... Very strange situation, i even think that the buyer was exactly someone from the playerauctions stuff. More of that, the buyer confirmed that he received the account, and that the account was exactly as it was in the offer, why i have to be responsible for his actions after purchase? I tried to reach Playerauctions suport, here is their response:
Thank you for reaching out to PlayerAuctions!
Upon checking the order ID you've provided, it appears that the dispute case was closed and was decided in favor of the buyer. This was due to the lack of verification and evidence provided during our investigation.
We understand that this may not be the response you were hoping for. This was a tough decision for us but the dispute process are in place in order to protect you, the buyer and PlayerAuctions through fair, reasonable and time bound system.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this case, and hope that you have a smoother transaction in the future
As the result, NO MONEY AND NO ACCOUNT
I don't use to post reviews, but for this situation they really have to be punished.
I have the screenshots that can prove all that it's written
They have damaged their reputation very much, I promised them in the emails that i will post this situation on each open platforms, as the truth is on my side...
Hi again, Pavel,
We checked but we cannot change the decision. The account you delivered was not as described in the offer; moreover, there were suspicious messages found in its history.
Orders with accounts not as described are eligible for refunds.
Regards,
Richard

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...
