Super helpful and safe transactions! They protect the buyer from being scammed and sellers have a safe middle man.

Demands ID and screws around with you when you take photos of said ID they have no idea on how to look after customers service is garbage

Hello Alex,

We need the IDs to verify your identity and ownership of the payment account being used. We specifically mentioned in our instructions that we need clear documents but the documents you sent were incredibly blurry and the details can't be seen/read. When we asked for revised documents, you didn't want to send them so we offered Coinbase as an alternative payment. You then accused us of being a fake service. We have also been responding to you in a timely manner on your ticket.

Regards,
Richard

EDIT to add: following the response to this post from PlayerAuctions, I can confirm that this site is designed to set buyers up to be scammed by 'verified sellers'. The site provides an option for insurance but the second that insurance expires there is nothing stopping these thieves from taking the account back. PlayerAuctions will not refund or follow up with the seller because this ínsurance' has expired. I have lost $250AUD on the purchased account & a further $400AUD on in game purchases. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!

I Purchased an osrs account and within one month the account was hacked back by the seller. Player Auctions have only replied to my complaints with automated messages asking for further proof that I cannot supply as i have lost all control over the account. I have sent through screenshots of everything I possibly can and have not gotten anywhere. I DO NOT recommend using this service. Even with paid protection there is nothing stopping these scamming sellers from taking the accounts back and reselling it to the next idiot. Only rating one star as I can't rate zero.

Hello Beast,

I'm sorry to hear about what happened with your order. I'm afraid we won't be able to issue you a replacement or refund for this since the order was paid without insurance. The system provided you free insurance for this order which has already expired — after that, we can no loinger cover for the purchase. Your payment was indeed protected as you were able to get the account from the seller, but it's the insurance that covers you after you're able to get the account.

We provide 72 hours to buyers to fully secure the account by asking the seller for the recovery information. We also have offers on accounts that do not have any emails attached, so buyers can easily change the emails and sellers won't have the ability to reclaim the account since the new email attached will be treated as the only email.

If you have any questions, please use the Q&A form, Beast, I would be happy to help there.

Best,
Richard

Hi Erika,

We sent you a verification request and you were notified of this through your PlayerAuctions registered email but you didn't reply to it — you probably missed the email.

You will now be automatically refunded on this. If you do not wish to go through this process, you may use Coinbase which skips the verification part.

Regards,
Richard

I wanted to purchase gold for a friend but I guess that wont be happening. After getting everything set all I had to do was verify m phone number. I USED 4 numbers until I found one that worked because apparently Verizon numbers can't work?! I know stupid right. The customer service representative just told me "try new number, try new number blah blah blah." After all the numbers I tried to get a verification pin I exceed the maximum amount of time I could enter a number and so the site wouldn't let me enter anymore numbers and to talk to customer service. THIS IS WHERE THEY LACK GREATLY! I talked to the first representative who basically told me to wait 24 hours to try and enter my number in again. I waited 3 days to make sure, then it still wouldn't work, so I contacted another representative who said the exact same thing, "Please wait 24 hours to try again." and that person rudely hung up on me. Third rep up and I was getting pretty mad, she told me too email the 'trust' operators and so I did I sent them 5 emails 1 every 2 days and still no response after 2 weeks... I call the representative again and he said that they usually respond in 1-2 days. I AM CALLING your BS COREY! <----- The stupid A** representative who directed me to all his other stupid idiotic colleagues. He then basically said he would move me too the top of the list and have them help me out. Guess what 1 week later still no response from their nonexistent 'trust' email account. I bet they only tell people to email them so they don't have to deal with their customer complaints. I've never had customer service this horrible ever in my life. PlayerAuction is only good if you don't have to deal with their customer service. I'd say it's 50/50 either you have a great experience or you find out what idiots really run that place. If I could I would give the site/company no stars.

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.
