Never had any trouble with my transaction other than the payment verification which I thought was going to cause problems, but thankfully it was smooth.

Seller delivered it very quickly and the whole thing was done in about 30 minutes.

Verification is hard to deal with I have to resend it multiple times. I am hoping not to do that again

My only relief is that the order is still legit and correctly delivered.

I will be omitting the convo I had with them but I honestly made a bad mistake trading with the seller but they were polite in telling me and gave my account a chance. I was able to buy just fine after that.

The best site whenever you need extra gold. It can be in the amount and the price you want. You are in control as the buyer and this site is the best for that.

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.

Warning to everybody. This is a scam - bogus payment verification process resulting in bank charges and delayed refund if any. Worst thing I experienced on the internet. I wonder why these people haven't been prosecuted :(

Hello Iordan,

You canceled your payment for the orders and refunds are not instant, they are processed in 2-5 business days.

I'm afraid this is a gross misunderstanding of how payments work. When you make payments like these, your bank/payment provider puts a hold on that amount of money so it becomes reserved and it cannot be used on other purchases. PlayerAuctions doesn't actually receive your money and when the payment is authorized, that's when it gets processed to us, also in 2-5 business days.

Your payments have been voided and I would have to ask you to please wait 2-5 business days (weekdays are the only days counted).

So no, we're not and should not be prosecuted for something proper and legal. I'm afraid your scam comment is defamatory and I hope this explains things.

You're going to receive the refund soon which proves the scam accusation is unwarranted and false.

Regards,
Richard

Reason: They advertising up to 3 day and you get payed out, bull$#*!. Now is already 10 days and nothing. After sending them a message, excuse:
"We currently have an issue with our Finance team but rest assured that we're working on the resolution..."

Disbursement Time: Now being processed
Disbursement Status: Queued for immediate processing
For xx days

Just avoid this page as a seller, because you will never get your money. Sad but true.

Hello Ixchel,

I am very sorry, although this may seem unlikely to you since it's only your 3rd completed order on the site, the disbursement delay happening right now is not the norm. Prior to this, all disbursements have been regularly processed in time. We're having unforeseen technical difficulties since last week that has affected our payments and for that, I sincerely apologize. I was able to take note of your order ID and we'll make sure it gets taken cared of ASAP.

Rest assured that you will be paid on this.

Best,
Richard

I got tagged in a payment verification loop, where I received two or three word replies. I provided all proof required, but they got hung up on a "screen shot" from my banking app, which is blocked for security reasons. On their site they list several ways to verify payment, but refused to accept those. Yup, their right to refuse "my proof". But after 12 emails and 24 hours, way past their advertised 20 min response and resolution, it's my right to cancel the order so the seller may actually get a sale, and to leave a negative review of my very disappointing experience using the player auction platform.

Hello Jay,

I'm really sorry to hear about this. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to bypass this since it's an import process that ensures security on our site. And you're right, we provide users the prerogative to cancel orders — you will automatically get your refund in 2-5 business days and in case it takes longer than that, I will have to ask you to wait a bit more, or you could let us know by emailing support@playerauctions.zendesk.com about it, Jay.

Best,
Richard

I used to be able to buy quickly, and had no issues... suddenly, they want a screenshot of your credit card account website, and are certainly not in any hurry about it... "This process is usually very quick" has wasted over an hour of my time.

I'm sorry, seller- you just lost a $63 sale... and PlayerAuctions has lost a long time customer. 51 orders over the years, 100% feedback rating-- obviously means NOTHING to them.

Hello Matt,

Sorry for the inconvenience you had with your payment. I want to assure you that any information you share is kept confidentially and professionally. It will never be shared outside of PlayerAuctions, and is only used for verification purposes. We need to have a copy of your payment information to make sure only you are able to access and use your account; in the event of any account breach, we have information to bank on so we can verify the user, and this is especially the case with changes in location, IP address, etc.

If you decide to continue with your purchase, please let me know how I can assist to make the process seamless. You may use the Q&A form here in SiteJabber to do that and ask questions about anything.

Best regards,
Richard

Playerauctions help team and inferior payment systems always seems to fail and leave a rift in your bank for the best part of week.
Then waiting on the other end is when you finally make a buy and it runs into issues. I got a refund for the account. But that is minimal in comparison to to my other investments into the account. They banned the seller. He seemed to want to cooperate but PA stopped any chance of that happening.

Looking forward to the "sincere apology and knowing how frustrating this can be" Richard. Save yourself the hassle and time and go somewhere else so you do not share my experiences.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t buy their accounts and invest in it. You will loose it all.

Hello Josh,

I checked the image you attached and was able to check order 7132065 on our end. Can you verify if this is the correct order ID? Because as per checking, there are no disputes and no tickets received for this from our end. The order completed just fine on our tracker.

If you'd like to check on an order, please confirm the order ID and/or write it in an updated review so I can check for you what went wrong.

Regards,
Richard

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.
