“Some concerns at the start but all went well.”

Russell S.
10/17/24

Got nervous at the beginning but thanks to the site's staff and the seller's replies I understood what was going on. Shortly after payment I also received the order. It pays to check the delivery times of sellers because this can be anywhere from 30 minutes to a full day. Partly my fault for ignoring that.

“Scammers liars and theives”

Corby R.
6/2/24

This website, and its staff, are liars and thieves. I have been a seller on the platform for 10 years and they are the most incompetent website Ive used. You are much better off going to eldorado.gg or g2g.com

I have experience both user modes on this website and both have good functions.:)

1)As buyer they make sure I get my order correctly and with right price
2)As seller they make sure I get paid although seller experience require more patient because payout take 2 weeks

In spite any issues both experience are trustworthy. I am not very active but I planned to use it more!

I was a little worried with the way they ask for identification then after that the order paused for about 30 minutes, but after a while the seller wrote he was probably from a different time zone then completed the order. Spent 24 more hours checking my CC and there were no unauthorized charges. I read later from someone on Reddit they actually ask IDs to make sure you made the payment so you can't take it back illegally and it made sense. It's a good site, it's honest just that some of the process aren't clear right away.

Thanks a lot for the trust and for writing us this detailed review, Rafael. Rest assured, we do not make unauthorized charges and that's what the payment verification is for; to ensure only the authorized user may use the payment account on the site. If you have any questions about this, please let us know anytime.

I like it and using it was easy...only downside is there is no Paypal for easier payment since that's what I use. Used Skrill and its the same but fees are higher and its less popular:-/ Hope you can add Paypal someday. But other than that the order was alright.

I'm sorry Neville, but PayPal was removed some time ago. I'm glad you were able to use another payment option. Thanks a lot for the kind feedback.

They don't have Paypal and verification can take about an hour.

That's about it though for the cons. The pros: they take care of orders swiftly and safely. They have a vast collection of offers and sellers, the choices are almost endless.

Most important of all, the deals I've done are legit. Really good using the site in spite of some setbacks.

I have some reservations about the payment. It's scary enough to send it but they may also reject it if it's not too clear for their taste.

Once I got past it, the service was thankfully spot on and I got what I paid for. I asked them and said I won't need to do that again and if its true, I might have another order lined up.

Thanks a lot for extending your patience with this, Terry; we absolutely your time in sending us the revisions. And yes, verification is only required once as long as there are no changes with the payment account.

I've had many issues with terrible sellers on WhatsApp and I'm glad I found this. I know there are other similar platforms like this and I will probably try them too someday but this is a good one. :)

Made an order and originally it was only for some gil. The seller through in some extra mats although we had to use the market (bought them for cheap gil). It was really nice and the seller is awesome! Also, hi from Tonberry/Oceania!

I have ordered 3 times and was able to observe how they do orders. The system is efficient, they hold on to your money and the seller delivers. This won't be a problem if they're honest. If not, you can dispute and because they hold on to your money, you can be refunded as long as you provide valid evidence (?), I haven't had to do it but I'm glad it's there. It's honestly reassuring to buy given that the internet is a mostly anonymouse place.

Has all the bells and whistles of a good trading site from having many offers and sellers to having a good feedback system that buyers can use and see to assess if they're a good deal. I used all of these and arrived to a good deal. :)

It seems some sellers can provide 10 or 20% more gold as a freebie but it really depends.

My first had an extra 20% but on the second one, though a different seller, there's no extra. No complains here, however - free is free so maybe next time.

Spent a lot of time going back and forth between different sellers and I must say they are all positive to talk to.

When I finally settled for one, I got asked to send in my documents just like most review complaints but found them out to be... ok, I guess? It wasn't to painful and I got accepted on the first try so mileage may vary.

Overall it was pretty good. I hope I can buy again! :)

NGL the payment process had me worried but in the end I understood why they did it. The deal later on was safe and the method done by the seller to get the order to me was actually impressive, and best part is we didn't talk ingame at all which removes any risk (and I guess that's the reason this site has a chat function).

Thank you very much for bearing with the payment process, Mario. As long as you use the same payment on your next orders, you won't need to verify again.

After I verified my payment, the seller was already online to transfer it to me. He confirmed my channel and IGN and in about 5 minutes it was done. Got what I paid for and I'm happy about this.:-)

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.
