NoahTheWeebWolf Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Just curious since I have seen how risky account sales are normally. It seems they have insurance for account theft too but not sure if that extends to stolen items on the account too. What are your thoughts/experience with players auctions?

Krys Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 i think you cant get your money back when someone recovers the account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 As long as you buy from a verified seller you should be good, but a lot of people get a few good ratings and then scam people on that site. I would suggest to use with caution if wanting to buy an account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 You can always get scammed regardless. Buying an account from another owner is never 100% safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blm95 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) No, their "insurance" is fucking bullshit. Only time I've ever chargebacked was because they refused to uphold the $50 of insurance I bought on a $350 account that was recovered less than a month after purchase (and the guy has 100% positive rep over 40 sales). I've never had a problem with recovery for the other 20+ accounts I've bought from PA (different games), but it seems like 99% of the RS community is a bunch of fucking scumbags who need to scam over $50 for lunch money. With that being said, I bought an account from muffins a little while ago and, even though he resold it to me, he guaranteed money back if the account got recovered. In general, I would not trust a single soul who is not well established in at least two communities. If they have a solid reputation, it is not worth their reputation to scam you over less than a few hundred dollars in most cases.

knnlameosb Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I dont think they'll recover items on the account that you lost. They might reimburse you for the money paid though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
