I am a level 2 seller. I will say that to get here is no joke, they really have strict requirements but I can also say that it has been a legit selling experience so far. I receive the correct payment everytime I check balance page. Buyers are 50/50, some will always try to steal your account, while the rest are real. Just better be careful and always check the CORRECT order status. So yes, it's a good site, but sellers need to do there part to be safe to.
It was the account I've always wanted but could never get myself due to a busy schedule (work and family). I'm glad they have it. To be honest, there were also other better accounts but I could not afford the extra $$$ on them so I settled for something close to what I can. That's also one of the best parts --- they have lots of selections. It's really good (:
Happy to hear you found a good one and were able to settle with it. Thank you very much for sharing your positive experience, Diego!
Expert dispute team, they helped me several times with fake complaints from buyers who try to get away with fake refunds. I always keep a copy of delivery both video and screenies, so it helps a lot. Hopefully I can find more honest buyers... but that is part of the challenge of online selling.
That is indeed a good practice. Thanks a lot for sharing it here along with your positive rating, Nikolas!
Superb selling experience. Only 1 real downside is the long waiting period for the cashout, but the rest is 10/10. Site helped me make the trade secure and make sure the buyer doesn't make a fake claim about it. I only tried it with this order but I can see it's totally usable so I plan to make more orders soon.
I'm glad to hear our services were able to help; thank you so much for sharing this, Miras.

I sold a large amount of gold at 900m. I had to split it up in 6 orders because I was getting lowballed for the whole amount. It took a while to get everything sold but it was worth it. The fees were correct and I never had any issues with all trades. Their claim to be safe is true and I would they are the safest even. Kudos to Playerauctions I very much recommend you guys.
Happy to hear that everything went smoothly! Thanks a lot for sharing your positive selling experience, Edoardo.
They do ask for IDs I think it's to check you own the payment but I have my own so it was not an issue for me. After that, the rest was fast. The advertised time was 20 minutes but we got it done in just 14. I also got to confirm it first which just made the whole thing super secure xDDD
Thanks a lot for the patience with our process. We're grateful for your kind rating for us, Royce!
Worlds better doing it here than Discord. Trades there are frankly getting old and broken. The confirmation system here is much more reliable. The best part is when you look for the deal, you just go through pages and not talk to a hundred people just to get a good price.
Thank you very much for choosing us, Quincy. Enjoy your order and happy gaming!
Extremely fast, I was expecting it to be about an hour but seller got it to me in a quarter of that. The guy's name is Badgertrade and it was an awesome 10/10 deal for me.
Thank you very much for this, Pete! We're grateful to know that everything went well.
Experienced my first issue on the site and It wasn't so bad. I was using my account while on vacation, they canceled my order and apparently the connection here isn't secure. They asked for verification again which I already did, I just sent them a new set of pics. Wasn't so bad, 5 minutes tops and I ordered again. Some pretty exaggerated stuff about long delays whatnot but as long as I speak for myself, I can say it's good and smooth.
Thank you very much for the kind words for our team, Orson!
I start a new seller this week and my first order happen with good experience. I meet a good buyer who never cause problems and confirm the order quickly. But also gave me a ++ feedback. This helps me for future buyers. I love the site and I plan to open more offers soon.
Thank you so much for choosing our site, Luigi! We're happy to hear about your smooth start; we hope you have continued success. :)
Account was way more expensive than I thought but I also think it's the one for me after checking all the contents. I also never had any issues with transfer, quick and painless I say. Most importantly and best part is that all promised items, skills and equips are 100% accurate. Trustworthy!
Thank you very much for the amazing review, Mikael! Happy to hear about the good deal you had. :)
Completely safe. I can't speak for everyone and this is just my order alone but I feel safe using this. The seller and staff are nice and ready to answer any question. A big plus that you can also chat with sellers first even if you do not buy, seems to be a welcoming place!
Thanks a lot for your trust and kind review, Fernando. We're very happy to hear this. :)
I thought it was gonna take longer but they did it all in just 30 minutes plus they did it with good communication I had no trouble asking questions and they were polite
Much appreciated on this, Kendrick! Thank you so much for the appreciative review.
Amazing sellers and always a good reason to come back! I do not recommend one specific seller instead chat to them to see how they handle their offers and you can always land a good deal with them. I never had any problems, super smooth!
Thank you so much for the repeated purchases, Julian. We really appreciate your trust and patronage. :)
Just ticked all the right checkboxes for me. It was fast, price wasn't too bad, and the communication was flawless. I know the next ones may not be as good but the important thing is that the site is trusted. =)
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, Irving! Hope you enjoy your purchase.
A full and complete experience to buy an account I like. They transfer all credentials to me and includes email and mobile control. When I finally check it I'm happy to see everything they describe in the offer is real. I met an honest seller and works hard to please the customer. Highly recommended site if you want new accounts!
This is awesome to hear and we really appreciate your kind recommendation. Thank you very much, Hayden!
I only like one thing buying here and it's the same reason I have 5+ orders now... they can break the order into smaller units so you don't have to spend a fortune. They make everything easy to access for econo gamers and that is helpful for me since I'm still a casual.
Thank you very much for sharing your positive experience, Gideon. Happy to know that the site is able to serve you this way. :)
Met lots of good sellers with good 10/10 services. I will come back for their other offers soon but for now, happy with lots of gil I got from them.:-)
Thank you so much for the wonderful rating, Jungmin. :)
Made me nervous at first, I went back and forth with their email team and it was not quick at all, but the guy I talked to was very patient... I might have said a few things outta line and sorry about that. We still completed the order and they were very nice. New customer here and now that I know how things work there will be no more curses next time lol thanks again.
Thank you so much for the trust, Elias. We also appreciate the kind communication and we understand we're you're coming from. Feel free to ask us in the ticket if you have any concerns that we can address.
Incredible. It was fast, instructions easy to understand and I never have any problems using it. Thank you for the cheap and affordable gold!
You're welcome and thanks a lot as well, Chandler! Enjoy your purchase and happy gaming. :)
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...
