I need to clear that I didn't buy anything. I needed to cancel the order because I needed the money. I emailed their CS and agreed to let me keep my money. I really appreciate that and perhaps when my finances clear up I will be able to shop here again.
The instructions were a little hard to follow. But that was about it. The rest of their process was smooth and fast. I got my order in under 10 minutes. Communucation with both their team and the seller was excellent. Will come back.
Thank you so much for being patient with the payment verification process, Caspian. We hope you enjoy your purchase!
Nothing bad to say except the payment got delayed a bit.
Still a legit experience buying gold from one of the sellers.
Thank you for extending your patience with this, Hector. We appreciate the kind review.
An all-complete gold purchase experience. Great staff and sellers, fast notification and best of all safe delivery. I would surely order more. =)
Thank you very much for the kind rating and support, Cody!
Gold was given to me safely without ban and issues. Thanks to the site and seller!
Happy to hear this, Rudolf; thank you very much!
Not really my first purchase but my first time writing this. So far there are no problems with my orders and every seller I picked has been very good in communication and order quality.
Thank you so much for the continued support and purchases, Igors. :)
Hola, gracias por completar el pedido correctamente. Era seguro y no habia nada de que preocuparse.

Never had any trouble, easy filtering system on website to find cheap offers
Thanks a lot for the kind feedback, Gid.
The deal was superb thanks to both the trader and this website which are secure and easy to use
Thanks a lot for the kind review, Lars. :)
I really don't use these sites a lot, very rarely, but I took a plunge on it since it was harder to get gold due to a busy sked (dad duties + work). It worked out REALLY well and it was secure. The trader was also very pleasant to talk to. Quite surprised about the smooth process!
Thank you so much for choosing us and for this kind review, Jackson!
Order did not continue but site refuned me correctly. Order canceled is my decision since I need to use my money.
Thank you so much for the positive rating, Chanthou.

Thanks a lot for bearing with the payment process, Xian. Hope you enjoy your purchase!
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, Rudy!
I bought some WoW gold and I am incredibly satisfied. Pun-intended in the title if you didn't notice lmao.
We noticed :D Thanks a lot for the pun-tastic feedback, Russell.
Kudos to the seller I chose and site owners for the secure trade. :D
Thank you very much for this, Jayden.
I have experience both user modes on this website and both have good functions.:)
1)As buyer they make sure I get my order correctly and with right price
2)As seller they make sure I get paid although seller experience require more patient because payout take 2 weeks
In spite any issues both experience are trustworthy. I am not very active but I planned to use it more!
Thank you for sharing your back-to-back experience buying and selling, Deniz. Much appreciated on this!
I was already planning to give up on the purchase, they had to ask for my selfies again which I kinda hated doing. I gave Coinbase a try and though there was a $5 fee, it went through very quickly. Just need to be careful with paying via QR since Coinbase/crypto payments in general are time based. Anyone reading this who are having trouble I suggest using that.
We're sorry for any inconvenience and at the same time, we're happy to know Coinbase works for you. Thanks a lot, Isaac.
For a site that only does middleman work, they also do more like provide support after the deal is done and provide email assistance for recovering old purchased accounts. I had to request old data from a 2019 purchase and they provided it via email. It works again so thank you.
We're happy we could help with an old order; thanks a lot for this, Lucas.
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...
