I purchased 6 CS GO skins and only 2 of them were sent to me... NEVER use this site you will lose money.

I've used playerauctions.com for over 14 years and never had an issue until this past week. Over the years they have been sold and rebought a couple times.

I purchased some warframe platinum and the seller contacted me promptly and the transaction was completed.The next day all the platinum was removed and the published suspended my game account. Due to their terms, the seller is completely protected and could technically buy platinum using a CC and do a chargeback after trading it away. This is what I believe happened to me, as the trade was pulled due to a chargeback.

PA took about 6 days to respond and say they can't do anything but contact the seller. The seller only spoke very broken English and has also not responded. Sad to say I was forced to file a claim for this scam and PA promptly suspended my account, which is fine since I will never use their site again.

You have been warned. It used to be good, but they are just a Chinese farm/scam site now. In case anyone from PA wants to investigate further and see what is happening here are my order #s, but you already said there is nothing you can do and suspended my account. (Orders: #******* & #*******)

Stay away from this site at any cost if you are a seller!
When you sell your item on this site the money from the buyer goes to the site as middleman, and you will receive your disbursement after 2-5 days only if you have no pending disputes in your account, for example what happened in my case, i had over 10 successful orders and i was waiting for the disbursement day, meanwhile a buyer who had paid extra 100% of price as +1 year insurance for a lol pbe account and buyer came after 9 months back to me because riot disabled his account, so he asked for refund or replacement something that is crazy to ask comparing the price i sold it then and the price i sell it now, so well the buyer disputed after 9 months of purchase, and playerauctions are holding over 10 disbursements of my succesful orders which in total are over 100$ and the order that buyer disputed is only 6,5$, i waited 2 days expecting that playerauctions will reduce this amount from my pending disbursement but they didn't so i sent them back the required amount on their paypal account support@ playerauctions.com and i sent them the transaction id in support ticket expecting them to send me my disbursements, after 4 days they responded me with a message telling me that i have to pay the exact amount on paypal but on their other account fees@ playerauctions.com in order to refund the buyer, while they have not refunded the first transaction on paypal which i sent them the required amount.

So in conclusion i have sold 14 accounts and they are holding my disbursements for all of them (over 100$) while i have already refunded the amount(6.5$) for the issued order.

Also it's crazy to see their supports response time taking over 3-4 days while their fees are totally scam as you can see

Currency and Items: 9.99% + $0.99
Accounts: 11.99% + $0.99
Power Leveling: 14.99% + $0.99
CD Keys: 4.99% + $0.99
CSGO Skins: 4.99%

Disbursement Fees
PayPal also adds a 2% fee on disbursements.
Skrill = 2% + $0.50 per disbursement.

Which results from 12$ sale you end up taking 8$ disbursement
Which is 4$ fees for just by doing nothing, all this money from fees and they don't have a freaking legit system in case of refunds to finish misconceptions easily, even response times for support tickets are unacceptably slow for the amount of profit they receive.!
So if you are a seller AVOID this SCAM "marketplace" at any cost!

Hello guys,

As you can read from my previous reviews I have had some bad experiences, they have been solved so far, however the current ongoing issue is the worst I have ever seen in two years on this website.

I have never ever been so frustrated and angry towards a company, I had a good run, always fixed issues within an hour. Always processed orders, answered my emails on time. However they decided to suddenly stop my disbursements, freezing all my payments, without notice. This is because of a customer that got banned decided to report the account as stolen, the order was from 2016 October:

Meanwhile I'm desperately trying to get in contact with the buyer, trying to give him a refund:

The other one has already been fixed for over 10 days:

The annoying thing is about this, is that my emails are getting sent into limbo. There's a automated response for every reply I sent, for every email I sent saying that the issues are fixed.

Here you can see what I'm talking about, PlayerAuctions informed me at 31 July while I have already been blocked for over 3 weeks at this moment:

Asking for help, with text at the end of the email begging for them to make me refund him:

PlayerAuctions is a TOTAL SCAM! Do not buy or sell anything on PlayerAuctions. You will lose your money and ask for refunds repeatedly. They wait weeks in between replies for refund. Then they ask you to send proof you lost money by not getting what you paid for or sold. The proof they seek does not exist! How can you provide screen shots of an account you never receive. Sellers on PlayerAuction are hostile. Getting mad at you for not approving payment to them for the game you never received. The chat correspondence is on PlayerAuctions website. They do not provide any relief to you when you repeatedly tell the seller you did not receive his account you paid for. BUY FROM SOMEONE ELSE. Play the game and join an alliance or clan and buy from a team mate. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! BUY FROM PLAYERAUCTIONS AND YOUR MONEY AND INSURANCE YOU BUY IS LOST AND GONE! PERIOD!

SCAM! TOTAL SCAM! PlayerAuctions (PA) sells you something. You don't receive it. You contact PA stating you did not receive game account. Seller sends screen shot to PA that you received it. PA asks you for screen shots of an account you don't have. They ask for other proof. Their insurance that you pay extra for, does nothing. PlayerAuction then posts a reply on this site stating "We are sorry, let me assist you..." No assistance from PlayerAuctions. PA is just trying to improve their image on this site. PA employees may be submitting their own positive reviews on this site.
