They suspended my account simply because I live in the same house as my brother, yet he and I both have WoW accounts, why? Just an awful company!

Hi Alex!

As part of our policy, we only allow users to maintain one account per household. This is to cut down on opportunity for collusion, etc. However if you would like to maintain your own separate account, you are able to do so by confirming your own identity separate from your housemate. If you could send me your PA username, I would be happy to help you go through the process.

I have been using it for months and no complaint. There is a slight issue with the dealers selling the goods on the site because of time differences.

I picked out an account offer and was not told of the contents and to my surprise there's 100m throw in. Amazing value.

Amazing to think that you can get almost anything for online games these days and you don't even need to cheat or hack. They all legit.

Payment verification sounds nice until they ask you for stuff you cannot provide, e.g. a screenshot from your bank account showing the withdrawal.
Let me explain... My credit card company in Austria is not a bank, its PayLife. This would not be an issue, buth their website does not provide realtime expense view for your credit card. The list of expenses is always 2 days behind.
The only thing i get as a customer in REALTIME is a SMS stating the amount and the curstomer paid to.
OF COURSE playerauctions does not accept this as verification.
And of course they dont recognize a goverment issued ecard as identiy verification. Well ok for that i sent them again a photo of my passport.
Oh yeah and each answer of them asking for the next tiny bit of information they require takes around 30 minutes...
So i wasted around 90 minutes for nothing.
I am really curious how long they will take to refund me for the cancelled order.
I CANNOT recommend this website at all as for the stupid customer service they have.
It might work for people in the US though. Too bad for the rest of the world...

Hi Alexander,

I am sincerely sorry for the issue you had. I will be bringing this incident up with their supervisor to let them know what happened.

Rest assured, we won't be asking for your payment receipt next time and anything that you already sent us that was approved will carry over on the next order — in case you wish to purchase again. Once again, I am incredibly sorry for the inconvenience you had.

Sincerely,
Richard

Gets better because they will need to ask you for IDs the first time. Make sure to select automatic delivery for a faster order completion.

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

PlayerAuctions runs a marketplace for buying and selling characters, virtual goods and virtual currency from massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs).

Business History

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.
