Player Auctions offers players of massively multiplayer online (MMO) games a central platform to deal, advertise and exchange programmed resource such as in-game currency, items, accounts and power leveling services.

It was constituted in November 1999 as a bartering platform for MMORPG players to actively engage in digital resource dealings, the procuring and contracting of in-games assets such as virtual currencies.

In July 2007, Player Auctions was taken over by Koren digital asset exchange giant Ittemania. The site facilitates visitors with coupon updates, a large selection of over 100 game currencies, full equipment sets and gold trading facilities. On the social front, Player Auction features a members area and accounts for facebook, twitter as well as google plus.

Product. Operating since 1999, PlayerAuctions.com operates a little bit differently from other real-money trading websites, facilitating as a marketplace connecting player buyers to player sellers. This model enables them to cover more than 300 online games, from the AAA titles that dominate the industry to smaller – even esoteric – MMORPGs. This website also boasts a wider variety of services beyond virtual currency, including items, account, power leveling and game guides.

Price. When it comes to virtual currency, Prices posted by sellers fall in a big range. Usually, there will be a handful of sellers that offer very cheap Prices – not the cheapest, but certainly near enough to catch the attention of budget-constricted buyers. Visitors can arrange the thousands of sellers based on Price and feedback satisfaction rating from previous buyers.

Speed. The top sellers in PlayerAuctions.com promise less than 30 minutes when delivering orders, which is a Speed that should delight raiders and auction house barons whose runs and deals, respectively, often depend on getting their fresh influx of virtual currency as quickly as possible.

Shopping and Payment. There is a quick buy option in PlayerAuctions.com that involves three steps in one page, so those that want to get the transaction done quickly can expct to do so in this website. But transactions can take longer to complete for buyers that want to look for sellers that are more trusted or have guarantees, and at least there are useful sort features to help when this is the case. Payment options are not as robust as other websites, but the website does try to fulfill its role as a marketplace middleman by safeguarding the payment until the goods promised by the seller are actually delivered to the buyer.

Customer Service.. PlayerAuctions.com has set up a comprehensive help center that covers buyer issues in registration, payments, delivery and everything in between. For those that cannot be bothered to wade through pages of self-help FAQs, there are decently responsive Customer Service agents that can field questions. Agents appear to be patient and are quick to reply to queries, which should lessen the frustration of first-time buyers.
