I love the escrow system they have, it essentially has everything you need - cancel, confirm, dispute, then every order progress sends an email. This the WAY to do game trades.

Thanks so much for the huge appreciation, Charles!
Order was handled nicely. No complains from my end. I use card to pay and it ask for test charge, slightly difficult need accurate amount but after that, order is smooth.
Tip for consumers:
Check your email right away for their inspection, message seller as soon as you complete payment

My order was super smooth. I think their best feature is the low prices and sellers are competitive about this. As a buyer you get to enjoy gold as cheaply as possible.

If you are under 18 and a gamer you cannot transact on PlayerAuctions. (Lol)
Its buried in theirTerms they know nobody reads - working as intended. They will verify your bank acct with micro-deposits, email, even allow a small sale and then... bam.
They will happily hold your funds on any purchase. For everyone to earn interest on of course. Similar to the racket EBAY runs nowadays... Any excuse to hold.
No effort was made AT ALL by playerauctions to complete the sale, even after harvesting an over 18s information. That process was purely to invalidate the sale. Begs the question wether all the accounts listed for sale actually exist.
If so, I feel sorry for the seller, who was protected from getting a sale and probly isnt even aware. No share of the interest either I bet lol.
Very poor experience. Best to avoid, unless you like your money going in circles through the banking system, whilst receiving no goods.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid unless you like being held to ransom.

Hi there,
I am very sorry but as you've said, users below 18 are not allowed to make payments and verify with us due to the binding contract nature of the process. Declined payments are fully and automatically refunded back.
Best,
Richard
ID inspection honestly had me worried and doubtful but thankfully it seems there just really strict with new buyers. Have gone on to make another order and its now easier and quicker.

Thank you very much for the trust and kind rating, Greg. :)
I like how the site is based around communication. Both parties have opportunities to verify whether they are making a good decision. The website design is old and could be improved.

Not sure why all the bad reviews my order worked out great for runescape. I bought an item and the seller delivered nice and smooth. The customer service is a bit slow but they are trying there best.

Great UI, easy on the eyes and use for the consumer.
Could work with standardization of sales format so that buyers are able to sieve out the items they want easily.

Thank you so much for this, Teo. Our website team is constantly at work to improve the UI and make it more attractive and functional for all users like you. Thanks as well for the feedback about our format, we'll definitely keep that in mind. :)
Well, just like the site said it's a save means of player to player trading and my first purchase went off with out a hitch. I will definitely be coming back.

Honestly, I believe that this is the best website to buy accounts or boost off of. However, I am experiencing issues with verifying my payment. Any information on this would help.

Hello Tyler,
Thanks a lot for the positive vouch!
I'm very sorry but your current payment is being declined because our system noticed you have mismatched/different names between your PlayerAuctions and payment accounts. They need to exactly match; kindly use a payment account that has the exact name as your registered real name on your PlayerAuctions account. We need it as such so we can validate the payment as authorized by its rightful owner.
Rest assured that you will be getting a full refund for this in 2-5 business days, perhaps quicker than that.
Best regards,
Richard
I rarely buy any stuff online so imagine my surprise to find this site last month and that it has all sorts of offers for this one game I been religiously playing. Fantastic and definately a treat.

Many thanks for the positive feedback! I'm glad you found us; thank you for choosing us, Alonzo.
There were so many choices. I had to pick a more cheaper option due to budget reasons but it honestly felt like it was 10 bucks more in terms of value.

Thank you very much for sharing your purchase experience, Robert.
Using this means there wont be any need to pay upfront for goods you will most likely never have. These guys take care of it ensuring you get back to your game quick. Plus points for that.

Thanks a lot for sharing the positive experience you had, Tomi.
I have been banned literally just after registration. "This decision is final and binding." I have never seen such a dumb service. OK, I'll find another place to spend money.

Hi Vlada,
I checked the reference text you provided and it turns out to be a username; I'm sorry but your account is restricted due to security and government compliances. Rest assured that there are no charges incurred nor any information collected on your account. I'm afraid this is indeed already final.
Best regards,
Richard
Extremely quick delivery. Gave bonus gold and came to me in game. Very satisfied with my purchase. Will very much consider using this seller again if I ever need to.

Hello, Anthony. Thank you so much for updating us with your order, and thanks as well for the nice review! We would be very happy to have you again. :)
Loved how fast and smooth the transaction was, got my delivery within 5-10 minutes after purchase. I would definitely recommend this site and use it again if i need to.

I use this site often and I've never had a bad experience! Safe payments, quick transactions, easy to use site. Much better than the similar sites out there! Highly recommended!

Support was very helpful in enabling my account back so I can quickly score the deal I found. Seller was no slouch at all either providing great service and communication.:-D

Thank you so much for the kind sentiments, Lillian! Much appreciated.
When my orders actually go through it's a grand time, sellers are quick and personable, but the times that actually happens is few and far between because PA loves to lock your account and make you do 500 verification steps to prove you're really you, EACH AND EVERY $#*!ING TIME. I've taken so many selfies for these people and it's never enough, I'm over it. They've forced me into a terrible experience over something that was meant to be quick and fun.
Tip for consumers:
Don't bother

Hi Liam,
I am very sorry for the inconvenience you had; I appreciate that in spite of that, you continued to try purchasing and made succeeding payments work.
I was able to check and the reason you got asked to verify again is because you changed payment accounts. You previously used your card, then on other payments you used Google Pay. We perform a new verification for every payment method used. In the case of cards, once a credit card is verified, it is good to go for the next orders and verification won't be needed again. Google Pay may require several verification processes because Google "masks" your credit card number by giving merchants like us a new card number for every transaction. My recommendation is to use the card you already verified with us so you won't need to verify again.
Again, my apologies about this. Thank you for appreciating the site's services, Liam.
Regards,
Richard
Good website if you use skrill or bitcoin, i would avoid using cards or google pay as they took 3 hours to try to verify me with like 15 different pictures before i canceled on them
Tip for consumers:
Use skrill or bitcoin for near instant transactions others can take up to Hours to verify

Thank you so much for the kind review, Justin! Glad to know you were able to find a payment account that really works for you. :)
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.
Thanks a lot, happy to hear about the smooth experience you had, Altaire! :)
