I'm giving them a single star because as a consumer, I have been unable to purchase anything, even after buying things in the past, as all of my payments are getting declined. I've tried two different cards and Skrill, every single payment gets declined. They said it's their 'risk' technology that declines payments if there are 'account inconsistencies,' but they're declining a payment where I'm directly inputting my credit card.

Then, their solution is to use GoCoin, which is impossible to use unless you own a business (part of the sign-up verification is confirming articles of incorporation or equivalent).

On top of all of this, it has been days of trying to find a solution to this and customer service has been unresponsive.

The account got recovered by its owner. When I emailed the website about this situation, they told me I have to prove that the account was recovered by its original owner. I then filed a report under this account to Riot. I asked Riot if the account can only be recovered by it original owner. Riot confirmed that in the email. I then emailed screenshots to playersaunction, however they repeat sending me the same response, which is asking to provide the proof, which I did. After a certain days the site closed my case and just ignored my request. Avoiding buying anything from this web. Please ignore my grammar

Purchased a Warframe account from Plat4buy 6 months ago in hopes of enjoying the game with a friend of mine. After doing an account login a week ago i received a message from Warframe that the account had been suspended until 2035. I reached out to the seller to inform him that i wanted to use the account insurance to at a minimum recover the funds i had lost purchasing the account. I sent him proof from the account management page that the account had previously been suspended before he had sold it to me. Warframe also noted that the account email was permanently locked. I sent supporting documentation to prove that the account was permanently shut down. The seller acted like a 12 year old and keep telling me to prove it and to stop scamming him. This seller even lied to Warframe and pleaded that the account had never been sold(He sold it to me!) I escalated the dispute to PlayerAuctions and they said the information would be reviewed and they would make a decision in 72 hours. PlayerAuctions sent me a response and said the Seller won the dispute but yet they provided no findings to back up why he won the dispute. Purchasing anything from this site is an extreme risk and they support the crooked sellers on here.

Majority of the accounts you see on this website are from 2 groups of people. From my personal experience the accounts I saw were from either: (1) account farmers who botted their accounts to max level (99str-attk-def-hp) w no other stats or (2) sellers who had regular accounts for sale (ex. Max Main full quested for $140) for some you might say this is 100% a scam, but for many reading the description of the account seeing that the sellers are quitting the game for personal reasons, or whatever it may be for, the account seems like a steal. Where these sellers get you is they paint a picture making it seem like they have great feedback/reviews from buyers which make buyers more comfortable buying accounts from them.

You may be asking, well how do they scam you? Many sellers post threads about their accounts without mentioning security questions or the info to the original email address attached to the account. The MOST important part of buying an OSRS account is getting access to the ORIGINAL email attached to the account. With that 1 single piece of info a seller can easily recover the account. There is an option on the Runescape Website to recover stolen accounts, which ask users to answer questions such as: date created account, last password, where the account was created, SECURITY questions (favorite teacher, school you went to, maiden name of your mother).

I'm not saying every seller is a scammer, but many of them are. If you are buying an osrs account make sure you read this post. This website has to figure out a solution to this problem, it's so obvious what's going on.

1.This E Commerce website is all about players buying products from other players.

2.Anyone can sell a product or multiple products across multiple games once verified.

3.There are multiple games to buy and sell from.

3.Your first time buy will require a verification process; yes this is annoying, but ensures that nobody is posing as someone else. It also protects the buyer as well.

4.The buyer's money spent is also protected after making a purchase until the seller has delivered the product and both buyer and seller verify a full delivery of the product.
Buyer's money is protected via escrow, so seller won't get until product is
delivered and confirmed delivery.

5. MINUS 1 star because they got rid of the most secure payment method ever, which is PayPal!

If I could give playerauctions 0 stars, I would. I am generally calm and can't be bothered to go after lost money, but even after buying insurance in the case that an account I bought was recovered, I was not reimbursed. Their reasoning was that there was not sufficient enough evidence during their "investigation" even though I had provided screenshots that the account had been recovered but they then refused to provide me with any findings otherwise. If a seller deletes his account after and is not able to be contacted, is that not questionable? If a seller can't even be contacted for a dispute and provide answers, what kind of investigation was performed exactly? I asked for answers and was told that per there policy, they couldn't do anything.

It's my fault for not reading the policy but everyone else should be warned that if something goes wrong, their insurance will be of no help to you. It's risky buying accounts from random sellers in the first place, but it's just a risk you'll have to accept as buying the insurance is just an additional cost (waste of money) that you won't get back.

I have been ordering for the past few days and over all I can say I have found sellers on the site that can do far more than other sites can with Shadowbringers only a few days old. I found people able to powerlevel me through MSQ even during early access. That can't be said of MMOGAH. They can't even DO shadowbringers MSQ at the time of this post and I bought gil from them a few months ago and paid them 300 dollars for 94.5 million gil.

I looked at 100 mil goes for on mmogah and 269.99 whereas on player accutions it's like 138.70

At first, I thought this site was totally legit and I was excited to re-enter the OS Runescape journey with a bit of a head-start. As you are scrolling through the supply of accounts, there is a lot of variation in kinds of sellers and accounts which makes you think some are legit and some are obvious scammers. I bought 1 account at first without instant account information, had to wait too long for the login and I disputed the sale, no problem there. The 2nd account was a more experienced main, with loads of event items and the seller was a friendly guy. Played the account for +- 2 months, when I received the "we suspect your account was stolen" message on the login screen. I looked in my mailbox and there were many requests to recover the password, something was wrong. I went back on PA and tried to contact the seller, who disbanded his PA account. "LUCKILY" I purchased the 7.99 insurance plan to reclaim the amount you paid if you get scammed, right?!. This is where the real pain began. As all of the prior events happened, I was keen on making screenshots of everything to prove the account had been reclaimed and therefore sufficient reason for a refund according to their own guidelines. I've read the FAQ multiple times to make sure I provide sufficient evidence to win the dispute, after all, it is quite impossible to lose a dispute against a disbanded PA account, RIGHT?! Boy was I wrong... Normally a dispute is settled within 24 hours and the appeal is granted if no counter evidence is given so I was quite confident I'd get my 140 back. After 24 hours, the disputed was settled, yay!. In favour of the seller. Not a single reason was given for ruling in favour of the seller, and there is no way of appealing such a decision, made by the system. Don't pay for the insurance plan, you are paying for clicking ONE button, not getting a refund either way, getting no explanation, feedback or further steps to provide the right evidence. This is exactly what I told Catherine of PA's support, which kept directing me to the site to settle the dispute with the seller, after I told her at least 5 times his account was disbanded and unreachable. I sent all possible screenshots I was capable of taking and giving an explanation. I have sent at least 6 or 7 emails to try and get my refund, I even asked to get in touch with someone else because she obviously didn't grasp what was going on or she didn't want to understand it. I started mailing the support desk in June and the issue is still not resolved, the support kept telling me to follow the proper procedure which is settling the dispute with the seller, which is NOT on PlayerAuctions anymore! I wish there was someone else who could help me, this is such bullocks.

The first time I sold an Account, everything went fine. I got the money. Recently, they deleted PayPal as an option so my money for the 2nd account I sold got frozen until I changed my disbusement method, fair enough. Trying to change my method I noticed they dont send me an SMS and then I realized there ware 3 additional Numberns in my Phone Number. 889 randomly added. I activated my account to this number and suddenly there are 3 additional Numbers? Yeah sure, now they want my Personal ID LOL.

I am not giving a company my ID which changed my Phone Number randomly and is holding my money. This just smells like a big scam.

DO NOT USE THIS SITE.
It seems they do whatever method they want to scam you and/or get your personal data.
