They suspended my account simply because I live in the same house as my brother, yet he and I both have WoW accounts, why? Just an awful company!
I bought an account and as soon as the seller got the payment, they
Recovered the account. I bought the account for $569.99 I cant get
Player Auctions to respond and give me the account back, or even let me
Know whats going on. I have tried multiple times to get some kind of
Support. I paid another $63 in insurance for the account. I cant seem
To get any assistance in getting this account back, or anything. I find
It unreasonable that I cant get any information on the matter.
Hi Webber,
If you could please provide an order ID number, we'd be happy to look into it and see the transactional history for your order. If you paid for the insurance package, credit is always issued to members who respond in a timely manner (within 72 hours) and have provided sufficient evidence that the account recovery was by the fault of the seller (we do not make credit issuances for buyers who lose the account by their own actions). The order ID can help us to identify the issues surrounding your account sale.
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.
Hi Alex!
As part of our policy, we only allow users to maintain one account per household. This is to cut down on opportunity for collusion, etc. However if you would like to maintain your own separate account, you are able to do so by confirming your own identity separate from your housemate. If you could send me your PA username, I would be happy to help you go through the process.
