Resolved PlayerAuctions — Verifying payment with 3 tickets and no response.

Made an order, waited 2 hours for no response. They asked me to send in information such as my license, a picture of me with my license, my card showing the last 4 numbers, and all. Still got no response. Absolutely horrible service to handle this with and still haven't gotten a response to the tickets I've sent in. My order number 6359206 has been sitting here on read for hours with no response.

      Hello Ted,

      I am very sorry for the long delay with your order. First-time payments may sometimes take the longest since we need to perform a full verification, I am sorry for the experience you're having. I've already notified an agent to take care of your order in the soonest possible time.

      Our team has now marked your ticket/order processing with the highest level of priority. Thank you for extending your patience with this, Ted.

    May 28, 2020 was the date of my ticket opening
    May 29, 2020 they respond saying the ticket has been escalated to their team.
    It is now June 9th, and I have yet to hear a single word from them about updating my phone number, so that I can fix my disbursement method on their website. That is almost 2 WEEKS. I have already uploaded all the required documents, this is absolutely outrageous.

        Hello Nicholas,

        I'm sorry for the hassle you had with this. I contacted you back on ticket 458825 to ask for the new phone number; we're ready to change it but I was not able to see a new number on your ticket. Please write back to me on that ticket number and I will process the number change ASAP. Apologies again for the inconvenience.

          Hello Sachin,

          I'm very sorry for the late response. We do not have a buyer named voidking003 on our database and it sounds like you were scammed. An official order at PlayerAuctions will produce a 7-digit order ID in the orders section of your dashboard on the site. You will also get an email notification about it. If the buyer is just informing you via the on-site messenger, it's a scam attempt. If this is the situation for you, please recover your game account now.

          Can you please write back what your PlayerAuctions username is? I would be happy to look into it and provide you assistance and feedback.

        Resolved         PlayerAuctions — Order #6118538

        I bought an account from you and the next day the account was recovered. it's been 5 days and I keep messaging you guys but I get no response back. I'm going to contact my bank to give me a refund because you guys obviously wont help me. You guys told me in the message you sent me that I you would have a response for my dispute in 3 days. That was a lie because it's been 5 days and you guys just keep ignoring me. I have sent you multiple screenshots of evidence that the account has been recovered. You told me you would contact the seller and let me know what they say. How much longer are you going to keep ignoring me? I feel as if you are trying to let days go by so that I will no longer be able to get a refund. I need you to resolve my issue today

            I'm sorry for the delay in our reply; our staff was working on the dispute case and I wanted to wait for the process to end so I could properly update you with an outcome. I'm happy to update you that you won the dispute case and you are now scheduled to receive a refund, or you may have most likely received that already — can you please check?

          Resolved           PlayerAuctions — Account password reset, not receiving reset email

          I cannot remember my login password, I tried 3 times or so, and I think it locked me out. Upon attempting "forgot password" I filled the details and still have not yet receivied any password reset emails. I have tried this numerous times, no email. I even created a ticket with playerauction on May 12th, 2020, ticket number is: 446195, NO RESPONSE ON THAT EITHER after a week. I have posted updates on that ticket regularly and the status still shows open. No one has even started working on it and/or acknowledged the existence of the ticket. I am at my wits end and even tried creating a new account with another email, and im sure that has been marked as phishing - as I found out will be the case after reading through numerous FAQs and coming across that.

          Kindly look into 446195, awaiting rresponse. It is annoying. Thank you, loyal user of playauctions

              Hello Narayan,

              I'm very sorry for the inconvenience with this. I sent a response to ticket 446195; I confirmed the account and email connection there and if the Gmail account I spoke of there is now open, you should be able to request a new password via forgot password. Otherwise, if the Gmail is closed, you may request for the email address to be changed. I sent the details in that ticket.

              Thank you for the heads-up about your issue and sorry again for the hassle.

                Hello Mohammad,

                I'm sorry you had to eventually cancel the order. Rest assured that you will be getting a full refund for this after 2-5 business days.

                We have to manually verify an order and we're currently experiencing some delays. If you decide to order again, we recommend using cryptocurrency — given it's a stored wallet payment, it no longer requires verification.

              Resolved               PlayerAuctions — Awful payment system

              Their payment method is not working for more than 2 months already. Absolutely noone is able to pay for my items using visa or any other option other than crypto.

              That means that I lose literally more than 90% of orders (I can see that on their sites orders page) because people don't know that or don't want to use crypto, and it looks like they are doing absolutely nothing to fix it.

              My guess is they are using crypto to avoid taxes.

                  Hello Alberts,

                  We orders are placed using credit card or GooglePay/Skrill, our system has to check if there are security issues with the account such as mismatched real names between the payment account and PlayerAuctions account. The check also finds discrepancies with addresses and login locations. If any issues are found with those, the payment will have to be declined because we have to comply with risk management standards of ensuring payment accounts are being used by their intended owner. This is one of the ways on how we can protect payment accounts from theft or unauthorized use.

                  We recommend cryptocurrency at times because that payment method does not need information verification and it's a stored wallet. We never force the option and we only have it up as an alternative means.

                  I'm sorry for the inconvenience you had with this. If there's a particular order you need help with in terms of payment verification, please reply back with the order ID — I would be happy to look into it so I can help you.

                    It's possible that the order transfer hasn't started yet and your payment still needs to be verified — our team needs to verify payments from first time or returning customers. Rest assured that if the payment is declined, you will be refunded. That said, please check the email address associated with your payment account, we send verification requests there.

                    Tried purchasing an account, was prompted through payment method then the site said the payment was denied. After checking my account saw that funds were taken anyways.

                    Saw where this could be a security problem from names and info not linking on on card and account so I checked Info and tried again same result. Now I have 2 charged on my card for 887 dollars a pop and nothing to show for it.
                    5901965
                    5902159
                    These are the transaction numbers, I used a discover card which the website says it takes. I am really wanting to buy an account but this leaves a rather sour taste almost 1900 later and nothing.

                        Hello, BryantB92,

                        As per checking on the 2 orders:

                        5901965 - This was declined due to security reasons; we found several security considerations and due to the high price of the order, the system decided to decline the transaction and this is meant to protect your money

                        5902159 - I can see from my end that the order was canceled by you

                        Rest assured that for both orders, you will be fully refunded in 2-5 business days. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but there is a mandatory processing time like this that we cannot expedite. Please feel free to write back here for any other questions, Bryant.

                        I’m sorry the other number was 5901910 so my question then is this, if I don’t use crypto how will I be able to but an account using my discover or Visa card without this happening??

                      • PlayerAuctions's response · Apr 06, 2020

                        Hello Bryant,

                        Thank you so much for responding back with the correct order ID. I was able to check and order 5901910 was declined due to the high price of the order; Normally, this is alright, but our team found security considerations which we cannot divulge to keep the security process intact. Our system is basically protecting your money and if we find security concerns with an offer, we'd rather cancel the order and turn down the sales to protect our buyers.

                        I suggest buying another offer from a different seller with a lower price range. However if it fails again, I'm afraid I won't be able to discuss further details due to the same sentiments I explained above.

                        Let me know if you have more questions or concerns, Bryant.

                      Hello, my user name is appy_jax93. I put an account up for sale and the next day I receive an email and an on-site message alerting me to the purchase of the account. I then proceeded to follow the instructions given and handed the complete account details over to the buyer that same day, now the buyer refuses to confirm that they have received the account after I have requested they do so. I know for a fact they have access to the account as they have changed the passwords and unlinked connected accounts. There is no way for me to recover the account. I've sent in a support ticket, but have received no help. The money from selling this account was supposed to feed my family, I have no way to put food on my kid's plate.

                          Can you please write back what your order ID is? It's very likely that the order completed on a Friday or a weekend — due to policy reasons, we do not release disbursements on weekends to coincide with how most banks are closed during that.

                            Hello Ipaddress420,

                            We sent a reply last week, but it didn't seem to have posted correctly here — I'm very sorry.

                            Declined payments are due to security issues such as risk flags or the payment account's name being mismatched with the PlayerAuctions account name; please ensure the payment and PA names both match exactly.

                            Can you please write back what your order ID is? I'd like to check for you.

                            Best,

                          Resolved                           PlayerAuctions — I want the payment to be verified

                          I payed with bitcoin and I did not receive any email of confirmation and the order has been on verifying payment for hours. THE site says that it take a few minutes... I want this payment to pass now, this is ridiculous.

                              Hi again, Overwatch,

                              Thanks for sharing the details. I was able to check on order 5843487 and I can see from my end that the order has already completed. I also saw there was a dispute, and that one has also closed successfully.

                              Can you please confirm that everything is ok now? Kindly let me know if there are still issues, I would be happy to look into it for you.

                            I have sent 100s of dollars to the sellers to buy two accounts and I sent a ticket to the support team and I have not heard anything and there have been no updates... One of the sellers wants to send me the details but he can't due to this... Why are they so slow?

                                Hi there, Overwatch12,

                                Can you please reply back with the relevant order ID/s and your username? I would be happy to check on this and find out what went wrong and do what's necessary. Kindly note that payments for orders on the site are paid to the site — NOT to sellers. Please be careful that you don't get scammed by other people.

                                It has been 3 days and my orders are still on verifying payment. One of the sellers is getting impatient. Please just pass them.

                              • PlayerAuctions's response · Mar 19, 2020

                                Hello again, Overwatch 12. Thanks for writing back.

                                I was able to check on orders 5826164 and 5828481, our staff sent you a reply on ticket 403831 to inform you that you need to check on the verification request email sent to the email address registered to your PlayerAuctions account. You would need to complete the verification process so your payment account will be validated for use on the site.

                                This has always been our policy for first time or returning customers. I'm afraid you were unable to check that email and respond back for the whole duration that's why the order isn't being processed. You may still continue with the order as long as you're able to fulfill the verification request on the email sent to you.

                                Let me know if you have more questions, Overwatch.

                                Best,
