I am currently going through their so-called verification process where they ask for a selfie of you with your ID next to your face as well as your card used for the purchase, a picture of your bank transaction, and the last 4 digits of the card being used. Well I provided all of that information to * sent it well over 30 minutes ago and still no response. I have messaged the zen helpdesk 3 other times past that and still have no response. This website has some terrible customer service and unreal expectations. When taking a selfie the ID gets mirrored and they want it so the information is not reversed but when you take a selfie with your ID its automatically reversed and they won't verify you until you can make the impossible happen. Prior to this purchase I had it up and cancelled the order and once they released the money back to me they only gave me 51$ out of the 58$ that was taken out of my account and I never received anything that I bought. I definitely recommend anyone to DO NOT USE this website for purchases unless you are ready to send them all of your information and then have them take their sweet time getting back to you if they even do. Currently, I am sitting in verification pending even though I sent over al lof the documents requested by * and still waiting I been going through the process almost 2 hours now.

EDIT: Sent another piece of verification about 45 mins ago and still going through the process. Responses take forever from the compliance team * and

* seem to be their compliance team who take their sweet time to get stuff done. Keep in mind the last order I cancelled because it says if it takes longer than 20 mins cancel it redo the order I only got 51.00$ back out of the 58.00$ I tried to spend. Now I am scared to cancel my order in fear of being charged for something I never received. Even if I finish this order and receive my product I will not be editing the review as it all stands true every word of it.

Hello Issac,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about our service and I'm very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced.

I checked on the process you went through and the reason they asked you to re-send the documents is because we needed them to be in clear and in high resolution copies, as well as being in a correct format or standard.

Thank you for patiently going through this and as of this writing, the order is now completely verified. To answer your doubts, canceling the order would cause the funds to be refunded back to you in 2-5 business days (processing time required by payment providers) and we are, of course, absolutely committed to this.
In case you have any questions or need help with anything, please use the Q&A form here in SiteJabber. Thank you, Issac.

Best regards,
Richard

Hello Diego,

We have now contacted your buyer directly to ask for the account back. Please be very careful next time when using the forms on our site; PlayerAuctions can't be held liable for incorrect clicks and form submissions — we received on a separate ticket that you accidentally clicked on accepting/allowing the buyer's request for a refund.

We'll keep tabs on this and let you know if and once the buyer responds back. Thank you for your time, Diego.

Best,
Richard

UPDATE: 12/18/2017
I updated rating from 1 to 4.
To be honest, I didn't expect to receive any update or refund for my lost case from PA. As you can read from my previous review below, I lost my dispute against scammer seller regardless of providing my evidence.

After I left my feedback in SiteJabber, I received a response from PA service representative, Richard, surprisingly. I didn't bother at first as I thought that was some sort of cover-up act from PA

Few days after, I actually received a message from Richard (PA service rep) via SiteJabber, with PA store credit that matches my initial purchase + insurance value.

I really appreciate to Richard to bring this case up and resolve my issue regardless of dispute status. Hence I changed my rating from 1 to 4 at this point.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I purchased account via PlayerAuction about 8 month ago. After 8 month, seller re-claimed account somehow, and so I contacted PlayerAuction for dispute process, as I purchased insurance from PlayerAuction to prevent situations like this.

As always - the scammer won - insurance I purchased from PlayerAuction didn't help at all. I should have looked at the review before I made a purchase for Neverwinter account... Obviously this scammer keeps selling account again and again after reclaiming it. I provided screenshot as an evidence, but it didn't help. Like other buyer already mentioned, DO NOT BUY INSURANCE IT DOESN'T HELP. It's useless.

* PlayerAuctions attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Hi there, Richard,

We sent you a PM. We'd like to let you know that we are in the process of evaluating this case again, and once we find a good compromise, we will send you a PM here. For now, please give us until next week to sort things out. Sincere apologies for all the hassle that you had to go through.

Best regards,
(Also) Richard

I posted an account sale offer for 100$ for an account with VERY HIGH LEVEL STATS which took me YEARS to create.

After someone purchased the account, I responded in the guaranteed delivery time with full accurate delivery of the account game details.

Immediately after changing the email and giving the password, the order was closed WITHOUT any explanation and the account's password was changed.

PlayerAuctions did not give an explanation for 5 weeks of avoiding my emails asking for an explanation and providing proof of changing the account email / giving details.

After 5 weeks of waiting and emailing, PlayerAuctions stated that the account did not pass the account detail verification process and they closed the transaction, which is 100% bull$#*! because I provided the proper login details AND changed the email.

PlayerAuctions gave the scammer a full refund and practically a 3-year leveled account for free, and have taken away all of my disbursements and made me unable to be a Seller anymore.

The customer service is a joke, PA is filled with scammers, and the site themself scams people who have been using their services for 3+ years.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS OVER-PRICED SCAMMER SITE.

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.
