Very quick everything secured in just 30 minutes. Account work correctly only problem is the email password incorrect but seller quickly sends the correct one. Love it! Thanks for the GOOD deal PA famz
Just what I was looking for and I spent a good amount of time flipping through the pages. I found it listed far away so to those looking... KEEP LOOKING! They have a lot of good stuff hidden so don't cave in on the first page yet lol :P
Thanks a lot for sharing your purchase experience, Bertie! Glad to know one of our sellers have what you're looking for.
Completed my first sale and everything is O. K. The site needs improvement on payout speed I think 2 weeks is too long. Even so I really like the service because I am guaranteed pay for honest trades... if you are a seller and you guarantee completing the trade, you will always get paid. Only catch is no Paypal and you need to wait 2+ weeks. But it has access to hundreds of sellers and they have a good trading systems. So overall = the plus sides have advantage here.
Thanks a lot for the positive rating, Arif. Glad to hear your first sale went smoothly.

Have been buying here since I started playing and since then I never needed to grind... that or I've cut down a lot on it. Really useful for gamers of any skill level whether casual or hard core XD
Thanks a lot for the awesome rating, Xavian! Happy gaming!
Right so I discovered this website after checking back and forth between difference once I think the other are legit too but I just like the layout more here... also I already start to talk to the seller here and he was very nice. I have no regrets finalizing the deal it was a good price... very good.
Happy to know it was to your liking. Thank you so much for sharing this, Marcus. :)
Great account been with me for months. Never needed to dispute or use the protection. Seller I got is All4gamers and he was great to do business with, I even get the gold from him months after the order completed.
Many thanks for sharing the positive experience you've had with a seller, Vaughn. :)
This is lowkey better than the ingame store lmao... only difference is waiting a few more minutes but maaan that's it. Helped a lot for the game xD
Thank you so much for your kind assessment! We're happy we're able to help with your game progress, Travis.
Delivery went straight to me, no fuss and no hassle. I love the security of the site and I would honestly buy again.
Thanks a lot for your patronage and support, Sol! We hope you enjoy your purchases.
It is very scary for someone to want that its very disrespectful as to ask for it as well. I paid my money to get my girl something from them and don't do it use a different site's. I wouldn't dare spend money on here they shouldn't ask for someone so id or card number could be scammers to be honest. DO NOT TRUST THEM GUYS!
Hi Brenny,
I apologize if the process scared you in any way. The verification aims to determine the ownership of the payment account being used in order to prevent fraud or unauthorized use. This is explained in the document below:
https://support.playerauctions.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008370507-What-does-Verifying-Payment-mean
Your information is safe; it is only used to verify your payment, and they are deleted. The canceled payment will be refunded back in 7+ business days or less.
If you still wish to purchase anything on the site, we recommend checking Coinbase. Provided there are no further issues found, Coinbase does not require payment verification. For that, we use ERC20 as the network, and USDC or DAI as the coin.
Best regards,
Richard
There was some confusion because I used my 2nd name during registration. I had no idea it was going to be an issue so they asked for additional documents. All good though I can kinda see what it's for. After that the rest was smooth and there were no additional problems.
Thank you very much for extending your patience with the payment process, Rubert. If there are discrepancies with the name, we may ask for additional security checks, and this is to ensure the information we receive is accurate.
Hope you enjoy your purchase. :)
It was secure all the way. Everything was handled via chat on there site and quick to change all details. Seller is good to talk to and even give advice on how to farm myself on the account. I have a tip for future buyers, its best to buy "retired" accounts because the chances are good you'll be getting lots of value for your payment. Handfarmed accounts are fine of course but they always have a bare minimum. Anyway its your call thats just for me.
Thanks a lot for the positive review, Quinton. We hope you enjoy the account; best wishes!
They were quick in resolving a minor issue... Seller complied and finished the order shortly after I disputed it. Strong security... Price and choice freedom for buyers... Always available on the site whenever you need it. 👍👍
Thank you so much for sharing the positive experience you had with a dispute; we're glad to have been of assistance, Percy.
Amazing Effort! Seller went to great lengths to finish power leveling! Even included so many dungeon runs not part of the deal. :) Love the service, I will be doing it again after a few weeks.
Thank you very much for sharing this, Luis! Glad to hear you enjoyed the service.
Baited in under the guise of buying an account instantly, Spent the next 2 hours arguing with support about how my name doesn't match my card and license i sent them in photos, Dont waste your time, find a better service
Hello Hunter,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience with the payment. We do not accept payments if the PlayerAuctions account holder name and the payment/card name is mismatched. This is a security concern, and as part of our anti-fraud efforts to protect the site and original payment owners, we require info to match.
Your payment is already canceled and you will be refunded.
There are two ways you can proceed in case you still wish to purchase something:
1) You may ask our team to update/change your name to the same one on the card you wish to use; we will request for identity verification as proof of your ownership of that card to avoid unauthorized use.
2) You may use an alternative like Coinbase; provided there are no other issues found, Coinbase does not require verification. We use ERC20 as the network, and USDC or DAI as the payment coin.
No one is being "baited" in the process: what our site advertises is "instant delivery", not "instant payment processing". Payment processing and the actual order delivery are two separate processes.
Regards,
Richard
Worth the asking price. I am a bit new to this site although the process isn't alien to me. I've done a few discord trades back when I was starting out but it was always sketchy there so I'm glad this one is here. Sellers are more legit as far as I can tell.
Thank you so much for choosing us, Winston; we really appreciate your trust. :)
Trade with cheaprsgolds went fine without any issues. They had a set period for delivery but it was actually much faster than that. A+++ deal!
Happy to hear about the smooth experience you had, Malachi! Thank you very much for sharing this.
Placed 3 orders all within a span of an hour and they all delivered it 100%. I was only doing this just to see the fastest delivery but lmao they all did it anyway in 10 mins so I guess I know who 3 to pick from next time. And there's more to come from me.:-)
Thank you so much for the multiple orders and kind review, Bertus. We hope you enjoy your purchases!
PlayerAuctions Is a Predatory Platform That Exploits Sellers – Avoid at All Costs Proof & Ongoing Exploitation
Store Name: ZENAXEL
Total Sales: 348
Positive Feedback: 332
Account Held Hostage: 7 Days (and counting) PlayerAuctions has frozen my store—despite a flawless sales record—without real justification or due process. All listings removed. No earnings. No resolution. Just robotic responses and vague "policy" excuses while they continue profiting off past work. After 3+ years and 350 successful sales on PlayerAuctions, I can confidently say this platform is a scam masked as a middleman. Once I temporarily lost my Seller Level 1 badge (due to an internal system issue), PlayerAuctions began slapping me with hidden fees, $2 per dispute—even when the buyer asked ME to cancel politely, and we both agreed. No fraud, no risk—yet I'm still charged. Their excuse? "Policy." Yet none of these charges ever applied while I had my badge. Suddenly, once you drop a level, the system punishes you repeatedly, no matter the situation. They even removed all my listings without warning, effectively holding my account hostage for weeks while I beg their support for real help. Meanwhile, top sellers are untouched by these ridiculous rules. PlayerAuctions clearly protects high-earning accounts while exploiting smaller sellers who made them money in the first place. This is disgusting favoritism and completely unethical. Support? Absolutely useless. They send the same robotic copy-paste messages every time. No real investigation. No real solutions. Just cold bureaucracy while they collect fee after fee from you. I've waited days for replies while my shop sits frozen over a $2 dispute I wasn't even responsible for. Their Secure Seller Delivery Agreement is their get-out-of-jail-free card. They reference it as if it justifies robbing sellers with vague, one-sided policies. They never explain why the same dispute fees didn't apply for years—until they saw a chance to exploit a downgrade in seller level. Do not sell. Do not buy. Do not trust them. Unless you're a large seller making them thousands, you are expendable, and they will show you just how little your loyalty means.! Ongoing Updates Incoming:
I will continue updating this review weekly. As expected, their only responses so far are copy-pasted "policy" excuses—designed to drain sellers like me, even when I'm not making a dime. They've removed all my listings, effectively holding hostage a store built on 350+ successful sales. This post will be updated to warn and protect fellow sellers and buyers from the platform's exploitative practices. Date of experience: June 24,2025
Hello Zenaxel,
You advertised the offer for order 14650696 as available and had a delivery guarantee time of 1 hour. You did not meet the delivery and even waited 1 hour before informing your buyer that it's "out of stock". As detailed in our Secure Seller Delivery agreement, if the order is canceled and the seller is at fault, 10% of the order will be incurred as a fee. We follow processes and policies on the site.
https://www.playerauctions.com/about/secure-seller-delivery-agreement/
(#3: Dispute Resolution, last sentence)
You agree to these terms when you sign up as a seller. We recommend you check any site's policies before joining as a user to determine for yourself if you are amenable to following them.
Regards,
Richard
Safe and secure and I would say the best out there. No stranger to sites like this and I have used them since the early 2K MMO days where stuff was more expensive. Not today. A lot of the rares have gone down in price and they have a lot of them on the site..
Thanks a lot, Kellan! We're very happy to have you with us since the early days.
You will almost always walk out of a trade with a different one not because they scammed you or anything but because there's always a cheaper deal as long as you don't mind having a different set of cosmetics. I honestly don't mind this at all. Kudos to the hardworking sellers here!
Thanks a lot for sharing this, Jareth! I'm glad you found a different offer that you liked. Happy gaming!
Answer: You don't want to buy from them.
Answer: Just don't use their service. Trust me, you will save a lot of your nerves and time if you don't.
Answer: How to get started. Click the URL bar and type anything other than your terrible website. Unless you want to be scammed to lose time and money, in which case go ahead and continue using playerauctions.com.
Answer: You got scammed! So did I. PlayerAuctions is nothing but a SCAM!
Answer: Maybe this will help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playerauctions Regardless they have terrible Customer Service. Their english is not proficient to be doing business in the US and their work ethic is just terrible. It's a shame that they show the stereotypical greed of chinese who just does it for money and doesn't care what gets in the way and cuts too many corners to be acceptable to be called "The world’s safest player to player trading marketplace for WOW Gold, Runescape Gold, Guild Wars 2 Gold, ArcheAge Gold, CS: GO items and much more."
Answer: Don't do business with this company, they stole my money after my account was recovered merely a month later -- I'll be reporting them to the BBB after tonight.
Answer: Hello Mikael. Could you please try accessing the site again on a different browser? It might have just been a temporary website server issue, and this might be sorted out already. If you continue to have problems with this, please take a screenshot of where there seems to be an issue, then send it along with your username to support@playerauctions.com.
Answer: Absolutely. As a buyer, your payment is secure with us and will not be released to the seller until you click confirm on our website, once you have decided that the item/gold/account that you bought is good and complete. If you find any problems with the sale, you may dispute it and if the sale you received is not as described, you will be issued a refund. As a seller, your payment will be released once buyer is satisfied with the sale, and this guarantees that you will receive payment as opposed to transacting blindly on the internet with someone you don't know. In the case of disputes, if you've proven that you were able to deliver the sale successfully and as described, you will get the payment. Please note that we enact the User Assumption of Risk as stated in the front page of our website, in that we cannot guarantee that all trades will be free from risks. However, by carefully securing your order and being wary of scamming attempts, together with our team's efforts to secure an order, this can be thoroughly mitigated. I can elaborate more if you'd like, just post another question, Sabrina.
Answer: They will make sure you don't get refunded. Be sure of that. There sites a massive scammed just Google them...
Answer: Hello Elaby. Fabricating fake feedback is not "unintentional". The same goes with creating multiple accounts and faking the registration country/location. Disbursements are held for the security of the buyers if the seller is found to have committed several offenses.
Thank you so much for this, I'm glad to know things were resolved. Happy gaming on your new account, Jeff!
