Stay away from this site at any cost if you are a seller!
When you sell your item on this site the money from the buyer goes to the site as middleman, and you will receive your disbursement after 2-5 days only if you have no pending disputes in your account, for example what happened in my case, i had over 10 successful orders and i was waiting for the disbursement day, meanwhile a buyer who had paid extra 100% of price as +1 year insurance for a lol pbe account and buyer came after 9 months back to me because riot disabled his account, so he asked for refund or replacement something that is crazy to ask comparing the price i sold it then and the price i sell it now, so well the buyer disputed after 9 months of purchase, and playerauctions are holding over 10 disbursements of my succesful orders which in total are over 100$ and the order that buyer disputed is only 6,5$, i waited 2 days expecting that playerauctions will reduce this amount from my pending disbursement but they didn't so i sent them back the required amount on their paypal account support@ playerauctions.com and i sent them the transaction id in support ticket expecting them to send me my disbursements, after 4 days they responded me with a message telling me that i have to pay the exact amount on paypal but on their other account fees@ playerauctions.com in order to refund the buyer, while they have not refunded the first transaction on paypal which i sent them the required amount.
So in conclusion i have sold 14 accounts and they are holding my disbursements for all of them (over 100$) while i have already refunded the amount(6.5$) for the issued order.
Also it's crazy to see their supports response time taking over 3-4 days while their fees are totally scam as you can see
Currency and Items: 9.99% + $0.99
Accounts: 11.99% + $0.99
Power Leveling: 14.99% + $0.99
CD Keys: 4.99% + $0.99
CSGO Skins: 4.99%
Disbursement Fees
PayPal also adds a 2% fee on disbursements.
Skrill = 2% + $0.50 per disbursement.
Which results from 12$ sale you end up taking 8$ disbursement
Which is 4$ fees for just by doing nothing, all this money from fees and they don't have a freaking legit system in case of refunds to finish misconceptions easily, even response times for support tickets are unacceptably slow for the amount of profit they receive.!
So if you are a seller AVOID this SCAM "marketplace" at any cost!

Gold seller uses stolen World of Warcraft gold to fulfill deliveries. Will cause your account to get flagged as well as not receiving currency that was paid for. Playerauctions support did nothing in over a week with no communication to update on the situation.

"Greetings,

We are writing to notify you that a character on the above World of Warcraft account has received gold from another player known to be associated with exploitive activities, such as in-game scams or account theft.

Our policies on stolen virtual goods such as gold apply to any player who either knowingly or unknowingly received in-game currency or other items that were originally acquired through scams, account theft, or other fraudulent activities.
Third-party companies that sell World of Warcraft gold or other virtual currency for real-world money operate in direct violation of the game's Terms of Use (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/legal/wow_tou.html). These companies frequently employ exploitive practices in order to acquire the gold they sell, and players who choose to buy gold and support these companies can be subject to account action, including the removal of the purchased gold or other goods.
Additional information on the negative impact of purchasing gold, as well as some important information on how you can protect your account from theft, can be found at: http://us.battle.net/wow/services/anti-gold/.

That's how your staff replied me.
"Thank you for your patience.
Upon checking the order ID provided, it appears that this dispute was deliberated and decided in favor of the seller.
We understand that this may not be the response that you were hoping for. It was a tough decision for us but the dispute process is in place in order to deliberate disputes in a fair, reasonable and time bound system.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Catherine"
What a joke! The seller sold a "botting boosting level up account" to me, then after 15 days got banned.
Also, your staff told me without " any conclusive proof" I got the reply from ROIT which also confirm that account was using "botting" to level up which causes the account got banned.
Here is how RIOT replied.

Hey there,
Looking into your account here it looks like the account was banned for botting :/ This can really ruin the leveling experience for new players and because of this there's not really anything I can do for the account here. In addition the use of unauthorized 3rd party programs itself is a bannable offense. I'm not able to disclose any specifics on how our investigations are held as it might compromise our future investigations.
I know it's not the best news, however, if anything i said was unclear i'd be happy to clarify for you.
Hopefully, that clarifies things for you and if not I'm happy to go over anything you have might questions about.

I don't care how much money spent on the account, Just feeling be tricked on your website.
And yet, your website only cares the sellers' benefits which might be your benefits as well.
IT IS TOTALLY UNRELIABLE WEBSITE.
I should remain people DO NOT BUY ANY ACCOUNT on your website. As accounts have a high risk to get banned and no protection for the buyers!

PlayerAuctions runs a marketplace for buying and selling characters, virtual goods and virtual currency from massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs).
PlayerAuctions was started in 1999 by a group of gamers in the states. It was one of the first player to player marketplaces around, becoming a famous hub for earlier games such as Ultima, Diablo 2, and Everquest. It survived on a small scale for years and grew entirely organically through word of mouth, until PlayerAuctions was acquired by Itemmania in Korea.
Being rebuilt from the ground up with proprietary risk management systems, and investment meant to provide a stronger support network for gamers, PlayerAuctions was re-launched in 2008 with offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Korea. Since that time, PlayerAuctions has supported hundreds of games and activities within the wider gaming industry.
At the end of 2013 underwent a structure change to a Product structure which has shifted development focus to an agile development system which resulted in many product expansions in 2014 including Gaming Accessories, CD Key Sales, Cosplay, Trading Cards, and Software Downloads. PlayerAuctions also opened a new support center in Manila 2014 to directly manage and control the quality of services rendered to its users.
We're quite happy with this, too, Brian! Thanks a lot.
