PlayerAuctions steam account

Hello, i feel really disapointed about player auction.

I buy a account on March 26th all was fine i get the acc etc.
But for a 100$ acc i take a insurance.
Few month later like 2-3 i see i can't acess to the account.
I'm like "Damn he scam me anyway it's over"
But ! in november i remember i have a insurance.
So i create a dispute provide screenshot of steam i can't connect and the account have a mobile authentificator.
The next day i see on a forum, the guys who sell me the account on March sell it again it was so [censored]ing lucky like win lottery he have the old account on this forum since 2012.
And by chance he post only one time on this forum for selling his account few day ago.
I understand the mistrust of playerauction cause it's impossible he post few day before i post a dispute.
it's the biggest coincidence, and next day they said to me dispute closed we don't refund you.
It's disgusting the seller on playerauction dispute never respond
100$ wasted i would like to retake for chrismas.
Don't buy on player auction, go on playerup and don't take insurance it's useless !

PS : Sorry for my english

Hello Domi,

I'm truly sorry to hear about this inconvenience. I was able to check on the order and unfortunately, the evidence we received is not sufficient. Please note that even with insurance, we still require compelling evidence from our buyers, as stated in our disclaimer here: https://i.imgur.com/xuvAhYo.png

The seller does not need to provide evidence at this point because you were able to login to the account which means he was able to hand over the account to you.

If you are able to get the evidence for this, please email support@playerauctions.zendesk.com and send it as an attachment so our team can take care of this case for you, Domi. Once again, my sincerest apologies.

Best regards,
Richard

PlayerAuctions regarding to playerauctions support actions

Hello there,

Just wanted to share my experience about playerauctions. So I decided to try out playerauctions and created account (verified my mobile phone number by entering code they sent me and also e-mail address). So they are holding my personal information, right? Well right after activation my account got suspended, for whatever unclear reasons. I tried to contact customer support, but all that monkeys sent to me is notepad pre-made [censored]. Here is our conversation e-mails:

Hello there,

I have just registered to player auctions, verified my e-mail address and telephone number, but I can't buy anything it says:

Your Account has been suspended.
While your account is suspended, you can still login. However, you will ONLY have access to your Dispute Resolution center. All other functions, including buying and selling, have been disabled.
For more information, visit our help center.

Not the best first impression..
Looking forwards to fix this issue.

Hello Peter,

I'm very sorry about this. Our system declines payments from accounts flagged for security reasons. Due to this, your only option would be to use GoCoin (Bitcoin) as payment method.

Could you please reply back here the order ID so I can check and have your refund processed? It should be automatic, but I will make a follow up on your behalf.

Thank you and I look forward to your reply, Peter.

PlayerAuctions continual declined payment

Everything is fine with my bank account. I contacted my bank and they say it is on Player auctions end. It is difficult to contact the company since there is no phone number. I want to buy this account before someone else does so its a time sensitive matter so I am reaching out here as well hoping someone from the company will help me and tell me what I need to do?

Hello there, fortnite 2018.

This sounds like your payment is being declined. And to confirm, yes, it's not with your bank but rather with our system. We have an anti-fraud security system in place at the website, and if there are account information irregularities and inconsistencies, then our system will have to decline the payment. I am sorry for the hassle, but this is in place as protection for the community.

What you can do is double check your information both on your PA account and on your payment option, and make sure everything is correct and in order. Kindly make sure as well that the information for both your PA account and payment account matches. Try again at a later time, but if it fails, your option would be to pay through GoCoin (BitCoin). Sorry but under these circumstances, this would be the only way to pay.

Best regards,
Richard

PlayerAuctions player auctions - false advertising, scam and support couldn't care less as long as they get their money

The site claims safe trading but the truth is different. I spent near 90$ buying two accounts from the same seller, Steam account plus a game account that was linked to Steam and you need to play the game but he sold them separately.
The seller is smart and waited more than 6 months to recover the accounts, no Paypal support or anything at this point and I didn't have option to buy insurance. I have messages from him saying I can't do anything to recover the accounts nor my money because Paypal protection expired and playerauctions won't help, he was right. Neither would help, Paypal told me to go to the police, they claimed there was nothing they could do because time has passed and it doesn't matter if I have proof.

Player auctions and their support team couldn't care less, I showed them messages from Steam support where they say the account was recovered by the original owner, messages from the seller incriminating himself but yet they only bothered to contact the seller when they know he has been ignoring my messages, days after they just marked request as solved without solving anything and after inquiring further they sent an automated message saying the seller didn't reply and I didn't have insurance...

Not to mention most of the time support replies without reading what you wrote, it took me a while to get them to read or pretend to have read my request and proof.
Seller/Scammer wins all the way.

I always bought thinking it was safe trading as their website claim but given my experience with orders 3290828 and 3294348 I can safely say far from safe.

Hello,

The orders are not even a year old yet... and it's been a long time since I contacted support about this.

Anyway the thing is other sites would take some responsability and help at least by reporting the seller to Paypal for scam, you are cool with the seller being a scammer and allowing him to get away with it, that's why I wrote the complain.

Someone scams using your site and you just contact him? That's your support? and days later when he doesn't answer you think too bad case close let's mark the request as solved the proof doesn't matter. That sounds right to you?

Not to mention I've been asking for help for over a month about something that should be the least you could do but I still haven't managed to get a reply where you really read my request and offer the help I need.

Hello Eiri,

Thank you for sharing your concern about your Steam account and game purchase. I was able to check and indeed, there is no insurance for this so we cannot issue you a refund. But please note that even if it has insurance, this order was over a year ago; an insurance lasts for a year, and it would have ran out during November 2017 so even if it has one, the order is already outside of our scope.

I'm truly sorry, Eiri.

Best regards,
Richard

PlayerAuctions blizzard account

Purchased a Blizzard account from a seller, the account was reclaimed one week after I had received it. Even though I paid for Player Guardian Protection, I was not reimbursed. The workers didn't even look into the case, as on a previous occasion I had been rightfully reimbursed, but in this same scenario they claimed I couldn't provide evidence. I showed snapshots FROM BLIZZARD that the account was compromised and reclaimed. The seller couldn't even form a coherent sentence during the dispute and WON?! This site caters to shady sellers because they bring in money, they don't care if said sellers scam their consumers. Get this, I'm not even allowed to leave a negative review on the seller that gave me either an unsecure account, or reclaimed it themselves. I'm legitimately disgusted that they allow sales but require unobtainable "evidence" to reimburse buyers. Nothing but a cash grab, no care for integrity or customer satisfaction.

PlayerAuctions I have purchased an account through them with insurance, the previous owner reclaimed the account and yet they sided with him in the dispute

I buy this Blizzard account and as soon as I verified everything was fine I get locked out of the account by the owner, whom also changed everything from email phone number associated with the account etc. I have emails from Blizzard proving that the original owner of the account reclaimed it as he had to send a picture with an ID so it couldn;t possibly be me. PlayerAuction still sided with the seller and wouldn;t reimburse me when I also purchased the insurance they offer specifically for cases like this. They are a fraud.

Hello Nathan,

First off, I'm really sorry to hear about your case. The case was most likely closed in favor of your seller because you were unable to provide compelling evidence for your case. Please note that even if an insurance package is purchased, we still require buyers to prove their case by submitting sufficient evidence. It's stated in our disclaimer here when purchasing insurance: https://i.imgur.com/xuvAhYo.png

I sincerely apologize but cases like this can no longer be reopened. If you have any other questions or concerns, please write back here anytime.

PlayerAuctions another customer who has been scammed

Please do not let this company scam you as well, I bought a footnote account thinking this company would protect me from scams, maybe I was Naive thinking player auctions would help me to at least try and protect me.

Basically a person would not provide the information through player auctions and would only provide it directly through email, not trusting someone and thinking I could trust player auction I told them to send the information to player auction in which they did not and refused to do so, I filed a dispute with player auction and they returned saying the seller sent me the information when the seller didnt send me anything, its so clear in the communications through player auctions but they still sided with the seller, completely ignoring the buyer. BEWARE, they will take your money to.

I will also complain to Paypal if I do not get any response, this is totally unacceptable business.

I cannot see how PayPal can continue to deal with this company if they continue to do dealings like I experienced.

Player Auctions: for your info.. dispute number is 39967.. look at it, you show me where I was provided with any information, what a joke...

Hello ShoddyGorilla,

Please note that the reason the dispute closed is because you inputted "0%" as the refund value you are willing to accept. The seller agreed to that and the dispute was closed right after for payment. Even if it was done by mistake, I'm afraid it's irreversible.

I was able to look into your order (for reference, it's order 4147442) and to help you along, we have now put a hold on your seller's payment. One of our agents will be emailing you shortly to ask for evidence from you.

I can also see from my end that no insurance was purchased for this order. I'm sorry but we cannot provide a refund for orders like this; Rest assured that we will still support you through mediation to ask your seller to provide a replacement account or a refund.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Best regards,
Richard

PlayerAuctions scam!!!

I have purchased the deluxe edition, paid and it and it does not work. Then further I purchased the standard edition from "their" site and the payment goes through but then they cancel the whole deal, try reach out to them and have no response whatsoever. You email the customer complaints and still science
I cannot understand how they can be such a "big" online site but have the issues. This has all been reported to the relevant authorities and I will not rest until this is returned to me.

Good day Richard.
I trust you are well.
Again thank you for the response, it has given a lot of credibility to the site and I will be returning to it in the future for purchase's and I even want to look into being able to post items myself.
The order for the CD key I received the refund, the order for the sold account I saw it was closed in his favour, but I do trust that you will have that changed. Once I received the refund on that I will gladly even remove this whole post and write a positive review purely due to the effective response and after sale service that I have received from you.
I trust the refund will come soon.
Again thank you a million and I will be sure to let everyone know if there is an issue there is actually someone there who will work to have it sorted.
Keep up the great service you are doing.

Please could you look into the other order as well with the deluxe issue, that order number is PlayerAuctions Order ID 4051855 Payment Complete. I would however like to state that fact that there was a response is appreciated, its not every company where they respond. Due to this fact I will give some credibility back.

Resolved

The company was at least very prompt with the response and effectively resolved both of the cases for me. It has honesty made a negative situation positive and sorted it out as soon as possible to the point where I will return in future and do business again with them

For order 4052025, you should not have been charged for this. The voiding is automatic so the refund should be with you again very soon.

For order 4051855, I was able to consult our support team and upon closer inspection, we will be closing this order in your favor. Your seller was selling an already sold account and this should not be the case. You will be getting a refund for this. Really sorry for the inconvenience.

PlayerAuctions poor site management/integration with email server, zendesk, and player guardian

Any order I place with any type of payment method that I've access to fails. In the status I get:
Order closed by system - payment settlement failed

Date of incidents: Ongoing

Description:
Then there are delays on payment processing refunds, and some people don't even get their money back at all.
The issue is confirmed with first time buyers as well as sellers. Their email confirmation isn't working, and neither do they call or text to confirm identity of the parties involved. Support is provided via Zendesk, which is slow and delayed responses, if at all. They've been uncooperative in resolving this. Attached is provided links for snapshots I've taken of the Steam forums where I've been posting as well.

Evidence:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/175751703830855680/474881152750977034/unknown.png
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/175751703830855680/474881286008471573/unknown.png
[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/175751703830855680/474881286008471573/unknown.png
Unless this is resolved, this is nothing more than a site that is scamming money from end users due to refusal to fix the issues causing the problems. This being categorized as such until otherwise proven. Please see the other complaints regarding this company.

Desired outcome:
I seek to resolve this for all customers (sellers and buyers), not just for myself.

Hello Draconis,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about our payment process. I would like to clarify that no charges are being processed for failed payments, and if your credit card went into a vetting process, rest assured that the amount will always be refunded back to you.

This is an anti-fraud security system we have on our site that prevents accepting payments from accounts with information discrepancy or those flagged for security risks. We have this in place as a protection for the community. I repeat that there are no charges or payments being accepted, so this does NOT fall into scamming at all.

I'm sorry for any inconveniences this has caused. Do let us know if you have other concerns, Draconis.

PlayerAuctions complete scam

This company will not return any emails and avoids providing the service they promise.

They work with the seller and provide zero support for the buyer. I spent over $500 on a virtual good and Playerauction insurance that was later ripped off on. They have yet to acknowledge the failed delivery and I am working my financial institution. Avoid at all cost.

PlayerAuctions csgo product trade bot scam.

So I set up an offer in order to sell my gloves from CSGO. I later decided to change my mind and wanted to get my gloves back, I requested cancelation 30+ times and they have yet to get their bot to send my gloves back to me.

Overall, I do not recommend selling anything STEAM related on playerauction's website. Their bot will not send you your item back. Be warned, I have lost $100+.

PlayerAuctions league of legends account order id [protected]

So, I buy this platinum 5 account on the euw server for $15, and guess what?
The login details didnt work. So the guy actually sent me the wrong login info, I go to dispute it and lose?

They wanted me to show evidence, how the [censored] can I show evidence of an account that I didnt get the correct details for? He just accuses me of changing the password and wins the [censored]ing dispute.

Hello Drake556,

I'm sorry to hear about this. We require evidence for all claims and the one you needed to send for this is the screenshot of the actual game account email from us, then a comparison with the actual game account screen. This is for us to document the complaint properly. I'm sorry if you were confused about this. You may try resending this again to support@playerauctions.zendesk.com if you'd like the team to check on this again, we will definitely provide you support but at this point we cannot guarantee anything since the dispute window has already most likely closed.

Best regards,
The PlayerAuctions Team

PlayerAuctions very poor communication and ticket resolution

This is my second purchase from PlayerAuctions and the first transaction proceeded smoothly due to the small amount related to the purchase.

However, this second purchase (Order# 3892125 involves a much larger one and is now stuck at the "Verifying Payment" stage. I've checked their support articles and have checked my email in case their Payments Risk Management Team contacted me for additional info (as they claim they would for transactions that take more than 20 minutes to clear) and have received no such contact attempts.

I've since created a help ticket and it's been almost a day and have received no response from PA. The seller has also created multiple tickets as well and we are both in contact with each other and are growing increasingly infuriated with the lack of communication from PA. We've created another ticket this morning, too.

There's been no issue with my payment method as Paypal literally states that the charge is awaiting confirmation by the merchant (PlayerAuctions).

Hello ButterGodz,

This looks like an account problem. It's possible that your account is suspended. If that is the case, you need to get in touch with our team so your account can be reinstated --- if that is still possible, and also for them to inform you what the reason is for the suspension. Please email support@playerauctions.zendesk.com; you may also send a PM to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PlayerAuctionsTrading

In the meantime, please try logging in from a different browser or device to see if it works. If it's a 503 error, it is most likely just a server hiccup that will sort itself out in a few minutes to a couple of hours.

As for your refund, please include the order ID to your outgoing mail as I've explained above, so our team can check on it for you. I sincerely apologize for the confusion and hassle you had to go through with this.

Best regards,
The PlayerAuctions Team

Hello there, King Nolt,

Thanks for sharing the order ID and details about your transaction, and I am sorry to hear that the transaction has gone south. I was able to check on your order logs and the ticket associated with this concern, and the good thing is that it hasn't been closed yet, so you still have time to dispute this. Rest assured that our team will do everything to find a resolution for this.

The evidence you need to submit looks something like this:
https://i.imgur.com/0YZRhOv.png

You need to contact the game publisher and ask for a statement via email or Twitter, where their representative tells you what happened with the game account. The incriminating statement there is "the account was reclaimed by the original owner", which points to the seller as the one who claimed the account back. Once you're able to secure that, please send it back as an attachment to ticket thread #132064.

My sincerest apologies for the inconveniences.

Best regards,
The PlayerAuctions Team

PlayerAuctions customer service

I bought an account like 15 days ago and there were a problem with the payment according to the playerauctions. Although the money is taken from my account I got an email right after purchasing "payment is declined" I even bought the account with insurance. So I got in touch with them and they told me payment is declined and the money will be refunded. After waiting for 10 days straigh nothing happening I got in touch with them by opening a ticket. They replied to me by asking for #orderid after 2 days. Can you believe it 2 days for an information which is already on ticket. So after providing them with the #orderid which is so hard to find apperantly, now its been 4 days without a respond. This site is a joke.

PlayerAuctions osrs account recovered, order id:#3713225

I've provided evidence countless amounts of times for my refund, and yet your team is still protecting the seller because I'm unable to provide proof of the seller reclaiming the account? what does your team deem valid proof? the seller post a selfie with his playerauctions username written on his forehead showing he recovered back the account? dream on, because no one will EVER be able to provide that, and i'm going to PROVIDE you PROOF that the SAME seller who scammed me out of the account, is RE-SELLING THE SAME ACCOUNT HE JUST SCAMMED ME OUT OF, but your team is still going to find a way to protect this seller to avoid my refund. which this site should be sued and shut down. Just give me my refund because I've provided MORE than enough evidence and proof.

The same happened to me, Jagex will never supply an official statement saying that the ''original owner recovered the account'' however I have proof that the account got locked and unlocked. This should be enough proof that the original owner has control over it as only the original owner can unlock an account unless specified, however playerauctions ignores me and disputed towards favor of the seller.

Hello ilysfm,

Thank you for sharing all the details and screenshots you submitted to our team. As per checking, these are indeed insufficient because the offer details are very subjective. I'm sorry but you will need to secure a statement from the game publisher, where they tell you what happened to the account ("this account was reclaimed by the original owner").

I'm very sorry I cannot you assistance with this at the moment. Buying insurance still requires buyers to prove their claim as stated in our disclaimer: https://i.imgur.com/xuvAhYo.png

If you are able to secure the statement I mentioned, email it to support@playerauctions.com and include your username and the order ID, so our team can reopen this case and provide you assistance.

Best regards,
The PlayerAuctions Team
