osrs accounts, id's 5116775 and 3918996
I purchased 2 OSRS accounts on separate occasions, both were recovered with original account creation information that was never provided to myself.
I opted for the insurance PlayerAuctions offered and put forward a dispute for the account recoveries. Not only did I provide screenshots of our messages on the website where both times the sellers openly admitted recovering the accounts, but the seller in the second instance actually sent pictures of him logged into the account openly admitting he had access to it where I did not.
In both instances (The first where the seller admitted recovering it and the second where the seller showed screenshots of being logged on where I could not) PlayerAuctions closed both in favour of the seller with zero thought process, claiming there was insufficient evidence.
How much more information does a website need than an admission of guilt by the seller?
Utterly disgraceful site, you will be ripped off. The insurance is to squeeze more money out of you but NEVER benefits the buyer. I will attach some interesting screenshots to show how one sided the site and company are.
The 4th picture was sent by the seller, who had recovered and access the account to show it had been banned, he recovered it to his own email to do this.
The 5th and 6th pictures are a seller denying ever recovering the account, and then after I had provided evidence they admitted it. I advised in my appeal that I could not trust the account seller after he recovered the account, that I wanted a refund and to return the account.
The seller did not provide login information for the account he had sold, the appeal was denied by PlayerAuctions despite the seller openly admitting recovering the account and the account was never given back to myself, the user has never responded since.
Again, absolutely disgusting approach that purely cover PlayerAuctions scamming practice, I emailed them asking for evidence that made the decide to ignore the admission of account recovery and even liability for the recovery and got a cookie cutter response back in the final picture.
Richard,
I really am struggling to not let out an audible sigh having to respond with the same information repeatedly.
5116270 - You DID receive additional information that the account is inaccessible, the screenshots I provided on my post here show;
1. That the account email, and password used on the login screen are not only incorrect but not mine
2. The screenshot provided by the seller shows him LOGGED INTO THE ACCOUNT FROM HIS END.
I have repeated this no less than 4 times, PLEASE acknowledge that you understand. The additional evidence was provided by the seller himself and both you and your team have decided to overlook this.
The account was banned through an IP ban, this account along with it. If you're saying my purchase of the account meant that because it was banned it now belongs to the seller who took it with information he had not provided me. Look at it a different way, if i'd bought a car, crashed it and the seller turned up with keys he hadn't told me about and took it back would you say that it was on me and that the seller had the right to do so?
3918996 - The items being stolen would not be the tipping point to whether or not you gave me the insurance money I paid for when the account was recovered. It may have given some context but the point still stands that it was recovered, with my money on it and stolen and you simply allowed it to happen and closed the case in the sellers favour.
"He was able to earn the disbursement for this because when he was able to give you back the account, the cases already ended by then" - This is a fantastic way to say "We cut our losses when we thought we didn't have to pay the insurance".
I provided screenshots from the seller OPENLY ADMITTING he had recovered the account with original information he had not provided, which you as a company did not investigate before allowing the sale to go through. The sale happened I believe 6 months after the purchase and the insurance covered me for 365 days, what you are saying is incorrect.
The cases had not ended at any point, in fact the dispute was still open after I advised I was not happy the seller had simply recovered, rinsed and then offered the account back after I claimed a refund.
So another analogy since this is so "Similar" to the other case. I buy a car, the seller comes in in the night and steals the exhaust, the steering wheel and the windows. I claim a dispute and he offers me it back without these things since he also had access to the car with a secret set of keys that you chose not to verify.
Would you say that, while that dispute was open and the decision still hadn't been made the "Case had already ended by then" despite the dispute still being open? Or would you actually look at the facts and continue with the dispute?
You did not suspend him as a courtesy to ME, because I lost my money and the account I purchased with said money. You suspended him as a courtesy to PlayerAuctions. You claim the evidence was 'insubstantial'...
I provided screenshots of;
1. The seller openly admitting he had recovered the account.
2. Proof that the sale was not legitimate as the information provided was not sufficient to not have it recovered, later proven in the appeal
3. Proof thereafter of him recovering the account BEFORE the dispute was over.
If this was court you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. All information submitted according to your Terms & Conditions clearly outlined on your website indicate in both instances you were liable for providing the buyer with a refund. Instead, even here you've added additional points that you felt 'Might have swayed' your company but in
reality you have refused to accept responsibility and have set a clear precedent to any potential customers.
PlayerAuctions have proven both here an on their website that they have absolutely zero interest in holding up their end of their T's and C's. Insurance is to rinse money out of you, account sellers can and will recover accounts. PlayerAuctions will side with them and there is nothing in place (Where the insurance should have been) to protect buyers.
Thank you Richard, had you offered the refund since both accounts had been re-claimed by sellers you had approved for selling this would have been a positive post but I believe now people can see exactly how your company works.
Richard,
Once again it appears the evidence has not been looked at properly.
On 5116270 I provided pictures of being unable to log in to the account as the details and email address had been changed, it was the seller who provides pictures of being logged in to the account and it being banned.
To do this he needed to recover the account and log in to the website, these pictures do not incriminate me they simply show what I have stated even here in these pictures, that I no longer have access to the account and that the seller recovered it.
And again in 3918996 you are incorrect. The account was ABLE to be returned to me, however the account seller recovered the account and removed the bank value I had accumulated on it of around 300m gp which equates to around £170.
It was only after I messaged the seller after I had found his username on another website that he offered to return the account and assured he would not do it again, but at this point he had already taken everything from the account.
Not only did I refuse the account being returned but sought to pursue a refund, of which was less than the stolen amount from the account, as I did not trust the seller who had not provided adequate login information.
You closed the dispute in the sellers favour, he kept the account and DID NOT give me access to it again, and if you believe he was suspended how was I able to message him multiple times over the next few months, and why would you accept his claim allow him to keep the money and the account and then suspend him?
That makes no sense, and again clear as day it seems like you did not look into the evidence provided and made an incorrect decision.
If you could provide me with a more adequate response and we can resolve this I would be happy to, but all your response has done has shown that the decision you made was incorrect twice and you've doubled down by providing a misinformed response to shirk responsibility.
Regards,
Ben

no response to my emails
I have recently bought platinums points for Warframe from this website. Both sellers were extremely shady and sent the platinums via in-game trade system. After a few days the company of the game removed the platinums of my account because the sellers were using fake credit cards to get these platinums and their accounts were suspended. My account was also locked due to this and I have had a negative platinum balance due to this. I have emailed 'PlayerAuctions' multiple times and they have not responded to me. They have taken my money and have not delivered anything useful, other than just scams. Listed below are both of my Order IDs and I would like a response ASAP. You are not taking my money and getting away with this. I will not take this lightly.
Do not buy from this scam website. Trust me I am doing you a favour. They will just take your money and not care about what happens next.

payment verification
I made a purchase for Elder Scrolls Online Gold and have been waiting for payment verification for over 3 hours. I have sent more than 10 emails and they seem to be blatantly ignoring them. If your payment is over a certain amount (I think around $40) you have to go through this awful verification process. Make your purchase from a different site if you can.

the lack of disbursement methods
Apparently PayPal was removed as a disbursement method recently. That certainly decreases the site's quality, as PayPal was an easier method to initiate and set up. That leaves me wondering about the reason of removal, and whether or not there's a chance for the method to return, and also if there's a chance of adding new disbursement methods.
I myself am currently reconsidering the decision of using this site because of what I just mentioned.
Cheers.
Apologies for the possible confusion. A mistake while signing in. Please Read The Comment from the user in this section (Unknown noyb)
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Thanks for the quick response.
Well, the real problem lies in the different ways the methods ask you to setup and verify your account. Example being Payoneer, which requires our bank account information; or Skrill with the...well...let's say rather different methods of verifying one's account.
For someone who's more..virtually involved and doesn't really have much of a contact with Banks or physical ways and entities involved in payment, PayPal was the optimal choice; and the current two disbursement methods Kind of deem it very difficult to Set up a solid payment method. I'm not implying it's impossible, but the fact that I'm nearly a stranger to their methods of setup and verification in case there's anything I can do.(p.s. also the reason behind my reconsideration)
Thank you for your time.
Hello, Unknown Noyb,
Thank you for sharing your sentiments. We thoroughly understand your thoughts; a few of our other users have expressed the same. While we have made several reports to the respective teams already, rest assured that I will let them know about the things you've said.
We had no choice but to remove PayPal and I'm afraid bringing it back right now is an impossibility at this point. That said, the relevant teams in our company haven't stopped exploring and evaluating other possible payment options, and once we find a new and viable method, we will have it implemented on the site soon.
In any case, please feel free to write back here if you have other questions or concerns; I would be happy to answer them for you, Noyb. Have a good weekend soon!
Best regards,
Richard
Nothing more, thank you for your time.
refund time and the lack of help from support.
I bought 70M RS2007 Gold at Jul-22-2019 and paid over 45 USD.
After this, I had to wait a whole day for the Payment Verification, but it never got verified.
Then I submitted a support ticket about the issue and was told to cancel the order, and my refund would be delivered within 48 hours. (See attachment below) So I canceled the order in the next day in Jul-23-2019.
Nothing I've sent to the support gets a proper answer or is either ignored.
Everything I got was:
"Thank you for your email regarding refund time. Refunds are typically processed within 1-2 business days; however, in rare cases it can take up to 5 business days for your account to receive the funds.
We hope this helps! "
After 2 days I asked what's up with my refund, and was told I'd receive the refund within 48 hours after canceling the order, which it already had passed.
5 days later I still hear nothing and asked them:
"I canceled it a while ago, what's taking so long on the refund?"
The response I get is:
"Hello,
Thank you for reaching out.
Note: If you cancel the order, you will receive a full refund within 48 hours.
Thank you again for your patience. I hope this helps."
Now, what the [censored]? It's been like 3 times that at this point. Lmfao. no. It does not [censored]ing help, thank you very much.
So I respond:
"It's already been OVER 48 hours a long time ago."
And get no reply for 4 DAYS. FOUR DAYS. Because of course.
After those 4 days I get mad and ask:
"Well? Why the [censored] are you taking so long to respond when it's about money huh? Didn't take long when it was about something else."
And you won't [censored]ing believe the response I get once again LMFAO.
"Hello,
Thank you for your email regarding refund time. Refunds are typically processed within 1-2 business days; however, in rare cases it can take up to 5 business days for your account to receive the funds.
We hope this helps!"
Then 2 days ago I send another ticket saying:
"You have NOT answered back in my tickets which I sent about the refund, so I have to send a ticket that literally has nothing to do with it right?
Where the frick is my refund?"
I also have included the Order ID's and everything they'd possibly want, but removed them in this complaint, because it still has not been resolved.
Guess what the response I get to this ticket. Yep you're right. [censored]ing:
"Hello,
Thank you for your email regarding refund time. Refunds are typically processed within 1-2 business days; however, in rare cases it can take up to 5 business days for your account to receive the funds.
We hope this helps!"
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! Now at this point, I feel like going to everyone who responded to my tickets like this and drop a lego in their shoe.

purchased content
I purchased multiple online content characters from them. The payments showed as pending and I contacted my financial institution and they said the approval was sent to PlayerAuctions. PlayerAuctions wanted me to send a screenshot of my bank details as well as an image of the receipt. I tried to explain to them that until they approve the charge on their end and send to my bank, I won't have a receipt to show them. I sent about 7 emails to them attempting to clarity and they never responded.

declined payment
Ticket Number: 273382
Hello, I'm writing on here instead of the ticket since I got an automated message. My account has been deleted by accident however I have two failed payments that was around 10:30 p.m. on 7/26/19 are supposed to be refunded to my card but it is pending at the moment (email & payment proof below). I was told It'd take 1-5 business days however I was not sure if it'd be the same with my account accidentally deleted. I was hoping I'd still be able to get those refunds. Thank you so much.
Pending payments just in case
The payment was also declined twice.
Ticket replied and refund recieved
extremely delayed disbursement.
I've recently sold some gold on their site and sadly I wasn't aware that they no longer support PayPal (which was the only disbursement method I had connected to my account), therefore, they're not delivering my money. They asked me to create a Skrill account, which I did but their site does not allow me to change the disbursement method as there is a disbursement pending. The customer support has been ignoring me for days.
This is absolutely unprofessional and makes no sense whatsoever, they do accept paypal as a payment method but they refuse to give you your disbursement on it. I even asked my client and he confirmed that he paid with PayPal.
I've had no problem with them in the past but their services have lately become so poor, starting from their awful customer support. The 100$ that are pending, are important to me but seems like they just don't care about their customers anymore.
Thanks for the reply. The issue has been resolved. Have a nice day.
The issue has been resolved. PA has finally sent the money.
payment not received
I put 2 auctions up to sell. During that time PlayerAuctions stopped using PayPal and asked that I create or use Payoneer or Skrill. 1 of the auctions sold so I created a Payoneer account and tried to link it to PlayerAuctions. I never have been able to link the accounts so I never received the money owed to me. I contacted support on 7/12/19 and have had 10+ emails of support asking me to try certain things that never work, they even ask the same things 2+ times even after I tell them it doesn't work. I tried to send them screenshots of what Payoneer says on how to link accounts because what they were telling me was incorrect and they still ask for the same information or try the same things to try to fix the problem. I requested that they send me a check or another way so I can get paid and they asked me for a time to call me and I gave them a set time. They never called and in another email they asked for more information before they called just to never call again. Then they send another email asking me to do something they already asked me to do. I told them I would be filing a report about this incident and they send me the exact same email but from another person from support like they copied the same email the last person from support sent me. This support staff works like an automated service that just sends emails of common problem solvers and never addresses any details of your report. I can provide the 18+ email conversation I've had trying to solve this problem with PlayerAuctions support staff.
Thank you for the quick response but I'm still getting nowhere and they haven't ask to set up a time yet. They keep asking for my Payee ID that I can't get until I can link Payoneer to PlayerAuctions, and I even sent the screenshots from Payoneer and their instructions to get set up in order for me to get paid, and they still don't get it. I can't do anything with Payoneer until PlayerAuctions finds a way that I can link the account. I uninstalled the popup blocker I had trying to link them but no window ever pops up. Maybe its a Windows 10 issue because I've heard and seen tons of people having problems with it? If there is no solution I did ask if there was a way that PlayerAuctions just send me a check. I don't ever plan on using PlayerAuctions for anything after this experience even though I know people that use it and haven't run into trouble.

not receiving password reset for several days
I've forgotten my password to my PA account, tried contacting the support numerous times, Waited for over 10 days and still not received it. Zero responses from support aswell.
I've sent two tickets with the request numbers of 262851 and 264552. I hope someone from the PlayerAuctions team can see this complaint and respond to my tickets as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Hey Richard, I got info that my mail is apparently blocking the verification emails getting send to me ( I checked with my provider and they said nothing is being blocked on my mail tho) so I don't know where is the actual problem.
If the problem remains with my email I'm up for changing the mail to like a g-mail one which might fix the problem.
Sorry for the late replies but was out of the country for 5 days I can reply fast now. I would really like to solve this problem and be able to login.
Thanks.
I've replied to the e-mail, also I don't think i can change my e-mail adress without login in to the account Richard. Or I'm not aware of a way to do so. check my e-mail reply ^^

problems with disbursements after paypal changes.
Playerauctions decided to not accept and pay using paypal anymore, then they recommended payonner to recieve money.
I've made a account in payonner and verified all the documents they asked (lost 2-3 days in the process).
Then the playerauctions website don't allow me to change my disbursment method to payonner, so i have to send a ticket, a week latter finally i have changed the disbursment method to payonner.
Now, 4 days AFTER changing the disbursment method i still don't have recieved the money of the orders i've done, one already is pending since day 25.
6 orders waiting, i've sent a ticket about this and the person who responded said i've to "claim" with my SKRILL account wat is happening, so, the person probably don't even see that i am using PAYONNER not skrill.
This is very annoying. I"ve stoped my sales offer since i don't know if i will recieve and WHEN i will recieve money again.
I've sent the screenshots about my payment options, showing to the person that he is wrong about my disbursment channel on support, he don't even have responded yet (1 day).
Hello Richard!
Can you please try again now? they finally have accepted my account.
Richard, they finbally accepted my account., can you try again now?
pending disbursements: 4969612, 4995722, 4992190, 4989360, 5011205 and 5011410.

Thank you for your understanding Richard, I have not received the refund yet. last time i contacted my bank they said the charge was not voided yet (2 1/2 days ago) i think the 4th of July may have slowed down the process of the refund and i totally understand, Thank you so much for your help so far hopefully it will be back soon got a trip coming up and want to get some souvenirs ;)

disbursements not received due to unprofessional and unethical behavior
I am a verified seller and has made them some money since May 2017, my disbursements method of transfer is via Paypal.
All of a sudden with 10 disbursements pending as of this writing they just abruptly removed Paypal as a disbursement option, only bothered to inform AFTER they removed Paypal with a vague message, mostly intended for buyers, no advice as to what and how will their sellers who chosed Paypal as disbursement method will get their money and when. Just like that, like it's nobody's business. No prior warning, no announcements to prepare their sellers who have chosen Paypal to make decisions on how to access their money that they have entrusted to PlayerAuctions by using their service. So unethical and indifferent to the interest and concerns of their money-makers (sellers).
I am beyond frustrated as to how and when will I access my money since they can't be bothered to address this concern and they seem to be dedicated on their unavailability to their customers (both seller and buyers) - no live chat, no contact number for support to call - their listed contact number directs you to a fax tone and their e-mail support takes forever to respond to any concerns (my last one took them 19 days to respond.)
Irresponsible beyond words.
There are legitimate reasons why a seller choose Paypal, in my case it's connected to my E-Wallet that I use to pay for local bills and stuff. Skrill and Payoneer is not an option where I am at.
Skrill charges higher than Paypal plus your charges, how much am I left with? Payoneer requires me to open a local bank account (Skrill as well), charges 3 dollars per transfer and takes 2-5 days for me to access my money. Paypal transfers my money within seconds and is popular enough that it is a service available with my local E-Wallet. Do you guys understand the inconvenience you've put us through and how hurtful to learn that you can't even be decent enough to inform sellers way ahead before removing Paypal?
I don't think it's easy for everybody to open a bank account, not to mention the Average Daily Balance that bank requires, what will happen to those sellers who is unable to open one to be able to use Skrill and Payoneer? Not informing sellers before removing Paypal means some sellers money will be in your hands unclaimed until their circumstance changes.
What caused you to remove Paypal? As one of your money-makers I'd like to know. I deserve a proper explanation as to why you've put me into this situation because you've chosen to inform us only AFTER.
With every transactions we have with buyers you guys demanded honesty from us and yet you can't be honest to us about this. I follow your rules and have maintained 100% rating because I want to be trusted by my customers. I am your customer in a way because I bring you money and this is how you treat me with this irresponsible action and lack of transparency.
Yeah, really annoying.
4-6 Disbursments in the queue too, the Problem is: i don`t trust Skrill or payonner - the companies that they have has a option to make the Disbursments now.
Making a fast search on google i find ALOT of complains about those 2 companies here on my country - seems like they (Payonner and Skrill ) just close your account and keep your money.
I belive that Paypal should have closed their account and frozen their money to they make this move this fast.
