This is a scam site, I tried to buy a League of legends account like 8 times, each time charging to my bank $1.00 or under. Everytime I tried i converted nzd to usd and sent that amount and its not valid. For example, my bank statement will say its been charged $1.15, which ill have to convert to usd, so $0.79usd. But when i type in the amount it says its not the correct amount, to prove this I tried to purchase another account but this time I didnt convert from nzd to usd and same thing, unvalid amount but yet i was still charged. This is an absolute scam as I tried both ways usd to nzd and nzd to usd 8 times just incase. I've added a camera shot from my pc as i cant screenshot my bank. F*%K You and your scam site. I hope you go to hell. Good day everyone else.

I made an order for an account, they just started asking me for 100 things to prove my identity, I do it and they want something else I do it and they want it and so on for the 2nd day they don't give me the account and the money is not returned I think it's not fast at all and I don't know if it will happen at all. Even 1 star i think they are very hopeful to read this
I'm not hiding anything
I don't really recommend it, some time ago I bought another account but now I don't know what they did, it's awful

I've made 3 buys from this site, and every single time I am forced with a stupid verification process. They require; a photo id, a bank statement, a selfie holding your ID/bankcard (as if you have 3 arms), able to show USD value on your statement even if you live internationally and unable to do so. They expect you to call your bank outside of hours that you can because you're consistantly working beyond it. Stupid card "vetting" processes. One site moderator will approve you, the other will not because they are in a foul mood. Instantly takes your money, forces a 5 day wait for a refund.

Beyond a joke.

Unable to show images because they are all lengthy emails.

Do not purchas after seller protection as it does nothing. I had an account reclaimed and am unable to access it. After the dispute and screenshots they sided with the seller. So buy at your own risk but there is no point in buying the after seller protection cause it does nothing. It's a shady business with some shady sellers. So far I've had two accounts reclaimed and one by the seller named
Cy1i0.

I had a convensation with an individual and everything is smooth. I provided my info and when he had bought my account. He got it instantly and while hes enjoying the account I provided im still here waiting on my funds. I asked customer service "How much longer do I have to wait"? I still have not recieved any responds from them. Also They decided to deduct 66.44 from the payment I still didn't see. Why Take so much in the first place? And I want to know when will i be able to get my payment? Order number: *******.

I'll update it if its all taken care of.

These guys are the worst, i spent over 400 dollars over there, and never seen any of my merchandise, they seem to be pretty confused in terms of what they are actually doing, and my inbox was floded with email from their help desk requesting me and that, and pictures. At some point i just gave up and lost all the patience i had to spare them so im just gonna go to a different site that i used who work really well...

Dont use playerauctions they are horrible

I ordered previously from this website and the product was delivered to me no problem. Took less than 20 minutes. However the second time I ordered I was prompted with a payment verification step that was asking for my government id, a picture of my credit card, a passport and a picture of my bank statement purchase. This website is clearly a scam. DO NOT GIVE ANY OF THIS INFORMATION OUT!

Easy to use and very fast customer service! Highly recommend for players who don't have time to grind all day with real life activities. It helps you stay ahead with your friends in different work fields

Have been a customer with playerauctions for almost a decade now and have been a verified member since the beginning. Trying to make an order with my verified credit card that I've been using for many years. These orders are being flagged for "verification" without any justification or reasoning. Then being stronghold-ed by their compliance team to jump through various hoops providing multiple pictures of IDs, facial pictures etc... They will continue to do this even though the account is already verified. This is suppose to be a one-time verification yet they will continue flagging your account then FORCE you to continue to send selfie pics, picture of IDs and credit cards and stronghold you. If you do not comply or play nice or question them in anyway they will immediately cancel the order and you'll be stuck with a pending transaction on your credit card.

Fast and reliable.

There was no issue with the transaction. The gold arrived in a couple hours, in about 20 mails.

Stay away! Don't buy accounts from them. There is 0 support and they do nothing against clear scammers. Bought an account of someone for valorant, after getting it I changed all the info, added two factor authentication, changed the password, still had access to to the (fake) original account, and paid extra for their protection…. Within 2 days I received emails saying someone was trying to get in the account, so went and checked everything and no emails in the "original email" provided and within 4 days I lost the account. Meaning he never gave me the actual email and that would of be been the only way the actual original owner would of got the account back. I screen shotted everything and sent them a dispute and I could not of provided any more evidence, was the easiest open and close case for anyone with a brain and not only did they side with the scammer seller, they provided 0 reasoning as to why and what I could of done to further prove he's a scammer. The funniest part is this guy has 4 reviews and one of the other ones literally said the same thing that was happening to me….

On January 14 I tried to buy an account for mobile legends and paid for it, after the debit on January 14 more than half a month passed and I don't have it back until this date in my account, the cancelation was made on January 15 because they wanted more private information for verification so I canceled. I just want my refund already called my bank so there is no refund, no transaction in transit no nothing about my money. Soon it will be a month and this thief called Playerauctions will not gave back my money.

My question is, do people really fall for this? Send me a selfie along with your government issued identification card!
Like, what? All I can say is, "You've been warned"! I'm waiting on my refund as of now. Never, Ever again.

The company has some bs "security measures" in place now that now means payment is "declined" which means they charge you then provide a refund at some point in the future.
I've tried using Apple Cash, two credit cards, a debit card and a couple other methods and the only one that works is Coinbase pay.
The issue with Coinbase is most items on their site are sold for $5-$10, which means you have to pay a $6 network fee on the purchase of $5, in addition to paying Playerauctions fees on the item.
Can your add multiple items to a cart from the same seller to mitigate this issue and make the $6 fee less impactful? Nope. You need to pay this fee with every item purchased on their site.
They constantly refer you to Coinbase pay if your go to them with issues, but paying $13 for something being sold for $5 just isn't worth it. Doing that 6+ times is a ridiculous use of funds and not a feasible option for buyers.

Their customer service refuses to present a solution along lines of actual verification, and they rely fully on a defunct security system that must profit purely on the fast acquisition and holding of funds for 2-5 days.
The only solution I've been given by them is to "buy it again" which doesn't work. I've been charged and will hopefully now be refunded for something like 30 repeat purchases at their request.

I used to think the site was legitimate, but maybe this is their true colors showing.
Sub par customer service and a site that doesn't work as a merchant POS.

Of 56 purchase attempts, maybe six went through.

*WARNING*
If you are under 18 and a gamer you cannot transact on PlayerAuctions. (Lol)
Its buried in theirTerms they know nobody reads - working as intended. They will verify your bank acct with micro-deposits, email, even allow a small sale and then... bam.
They will happily hold your funds on any purchase. For everyone to earn interest on of course. Similar to the racket EBAY runs nowadays... Any excuse to hold.
No effort was made AT ALL by playerauctions to complete the sale, even after harvesting an over 18s information. That process was purely to invalidate the sale. Begs the question wether all the accounts listed for sale actually exist.

If so, I feel sorry for the seller, who was protected from getting a sale and probly isnt even aware. No share of the interest either I bet lol.

Very poor experience. Best to avoid, unless you like your money going in circles through the banking system, whilst receiving no goods.

I have ordered off of this site 20 times not and every single other time they make you verify your proof of identity. I dont know why i am so stupid to keep going back here just because im saving 4 dollars as it always takes days to receive the order i make. They tell you how to verify your identity but every time you send them the info they want they always say its not good enough and always just keep running you in a loop. They have horrible customer service and i promise you... you do not want to buy from this site.

So basically I went through 4 hours+ on this ID verification process. I should have given up, because this is a massive invasion to my privacy. If Paypal and MOST other payment gateways go without this form of verification, they can too.

What of any employees that see this and want to use it for bad reasons? What's stopping them? What if their systems get hijacked? It's not uncommon, research data breaches and come back to me and tell me that it isn't a common issue. It's factual.

Playerauctions will come back and call these baseless or accusations, but it's common sense. There is nothing secure about sending multiple pictures of your identification over E-mail, if Playerauctions cares about the security of your privacy, they will stop this nonsense.

Lastly, I purchased an account. The account looks suspicious and after reading a few reviews that have discussed this subject i've come to the conclusion that even though i've purchased Playerauction's After-sale protection (player-guardian), it seems as though Playerauction sides with the seller, so with the account looking suspicious and this fact i've decided to just try and refund despite that whole long process.

I would go ahead and keep the purchase if they actually protected buyers. They say that you need to provide evidence to support your claim as a buyer (as the seller has to as well), but answer me this Playerauctions. If the seller reclaims the account and the buyer no longer has access to the account, how are they supposed to provide evidence if they no longer have access to the account? What kind of evidence can they provide?

I don't believe that Playerauction's insurance protects you for this reason - for account purchasing.

TL; DR? Do you respect your privacy? Don't buy from Playerauctions. Do you want to lose the money you've spent? Don't buy accounts. I'm afraid you'll have to make your own and grind them out.

If Playerauctions can convince me otherwise, or if they stop demanding this nonsensical ID verification process of me, I may continue to purchase from them. But otherwise, i'm good.

Dont use this website im just asking for refund if im not getting refund tomorrow. Im going in bank after that by police i cant tolerate. Someone to make me stupid

The website advertises that you will receive the products "within 20 minutes," what they don't tell you is they will have you waiting there for HOURS after they take sensitive information of yours first: real life pictures of your face, real life pictures of your credit/debit cards with your face, real life pictures of you with your driver license, and pictures of your BANK STATEMENTS. Everything necessary to make online scams.

This is done AFTER they charge your account. Not before, but AFTER THEY HAVE YOUR MONEY. For what? A successful purchase here would've save me around $10 on 4 items and I would've had to wait HOURS to get it after sending super sensitive information over the internet.

Daybreak asks for NONE of this and gives you your items IMMEDIATELY. I've called my bank to make a payment dispute because they have already received my cash. Makes sense PlayerAuctions has not responded to my questions or concerns as they have been paid already. I got scammed by a PlayerAuctions "compliance" worker named "Davon."

Its not worth saving the $3 per Krono to go through this.
