Sold a runescape account. The buyer already tried to $#*! me up with with a random dispute for a 10% discount. After everything was completed and he could log in 1 day later he claimed that i reclaimed the account and that he wants the money back.

So obvious that he took all the valuable stuff and just wants his money back now (later more reviews on his account came in telling he was a scammer) and yet playerauctions refuses to do ANYTHING about this.

So easy to scam on this site and don't expect any help when you get scammed because even when it is obvious they still won't do $#*!.
Waiting 3 months now for my money and i will probably lose the case because i can't get my account back on runescape and even if i do all the stuff will be gone and he will claim that the account isn't how promised so i won't get my money again.

DONT SELL ACCOUNTS ON THIS SITE

We're very sorry to hear about the issue with your order. Please continue replying to the dispute and kindly provide proof of what happened so our team can validate what happened. This is to ensure the process between the buyer and seller is fair, and that claims come with valid proof. Once we can establish that your seller mishandled the order, we can issue a refund.

I will be contacting you on your ticket to ask for your new number so we can update it.

I got suspended for sharing personal contact information which i didn't know it was forbidden. When I send them a ticket and wanted to get my account reinstated, their reply was "our decision is final and binding." I always completed my transactions via PlayerAuctions. I saw hundreds of people got their accounts back even if it's their second offense and upwards. Or the people using more than 1 accounts in PA. Most people got their accounts back without even paying a fine.

But when it comes to my situation, they didnt even offer me to pay a fine, and i was definitely not informed about this situation.

I mean this is my first offense and i did all my transactions via PA. I have almost $4000 in my PA balance. And have more than 15 active offers which PA has access to their passwords and all the other informations.

I was willing to pay a fine if thats whats gonna take but they suddenly said its their final decision in their first reply. I've been wanting help from them but they just sent auto messages.

I put lots of hard working and effort to my account. I always helped my customers and I had %100 positive feedback.

I want my account reinstated please help me in this situation. I won't violate any of the rules from now on i wasn't paying attention. Please help me

Hello Erkal,

Sharing personal contact information was only one of your offenses, I'm afraid. The real reason for your suspension is due to the compromised accounts you sold and we received numerous reports from your buyers. As such, the suspension is permanent and your account cannot be reinstated.

Best regards,
Richard

Palworld selection is still a bit lacking though understandable. Got my account leveled up pretty nicely and best of all I got it back just fine, no issues whatsoever.

I was a customer of theirs since 2003 but today I've decided to not waste anymore time with their support and website. I've spent thousands of dollars on the website on a number of MMOs over the past 15 or so years. Sometime ago, I took a break from all MMOs and didn't use my account. They apparently changed their login system and my account was put in some sort of limbo where they can't fix it. They told me to make a new account with a new email and phone number. After arguing a bit about losing all of my reputation (feedback, like on eBay) I finally conceded and made a new account. Only for that account to trigger something in their system and get suspended (for making multiple accounts). I've fought with them all year in support tickets on this. Finally had someone respond today that seemed like they knew what they were doing and then they handed the ticket back to the original person that I've been dealing with the past year. I asked them to just delete my account entirely at this point and I'd setup a new one. They said they can't do that. I asked them to remove the suspension from the second account THAT THEY ASKED ME TO MAKE. They said they can't do that. Horrible support for an otherwise good site that I've trusted for over 15 years. Time to move on.

I listed an account for sale and allowed playerauctions to verify it before they released it to the buyer. The buyer went about saying I did not give them everything I had offered and disputed it asking for 50% of the money back. Player Auctions then took a week to get back to me with the following message:

Please contact buyer via onsite message and help him get the issue resolved as soon as possible. Kindly reply to this email to tell us once the issue been resolved, we will release the payment to you then. If the issue can't be solved within 48 hours, we will close the order as 0% complete and refund the full payment to buyer. Please note that lack of response to this message will result to the completion of the order in favor of the buyer.

I basically gave my account to player auctions to sell and they released it to the buyer and instead of verifying all the proof I had (messages, pictures of inventory, along with verification from their website) they tell me to figure it out with the buyer who already has all my info and chooses not to reply. HORRIBLE services and complete bull$#*! about protection because I clearly have all the proof that they have chosen not to look at.

I gave proof of an account being stolen back after I bought it, and was ignored by staff. They are potentially working with people to make money, in an attempt to force people into buying their Buyer insurance

Images linked:
1, Proof of Purchase
2, Me changing the Email of the account purchased
3, The account being taken back by the original owner (the account is french)
4, Proof that the Email in the second picture is the one given by the original owner

Hello Bradley,

I was able to check on your case; I'm afraid the screenshots you show do not directly incriminate your seller as the one at fault, since the email change could have been initiated by you. There was no statement from the game company that the account was reclaimed or anything.

We also found no insurance on your order and as such, to set your expectations on this, we won't be able to provide a refund but we will still provide support for this. I have now contacted your seller directly to warn him that you're having issues with the account, and I asked him to provide you the account so the dispute can be closed.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience you had with this, Bradley.

Best 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.
