**A Deeply Frustrating Experience with PlayerAuctions.com – Excessive Verification Demands and Poor Customer Support**
I recently attempted to establish myself as a seller on PlayerAuctions.com, hoping to leverage their platform for legitimate transactions. However, what followed was one of the most unnecessarily complicated and frustrating verification processes I've ever encountered with an online marketplace.
**Immediate Account Suspension Without Just Cause**
The moment I completed my registration, my account was abruptly suspended solely because I accessed the site through a VPN. While I understand security concerns, this immediate suspension without warning or explanation set the tone for the terrible user experience that followed. Many legitimate users employ VPNs for privacy reasons, and a more reasonable approach would have been a simple notification or temporary restriction until verification.
**Never-Ending Document Requests**
After reaching out to their support team, I was subjected to an absurdly invasive verification process:
1. First, they demanded a **selfie holding my government-issued ID**
2. Then, they required **multiple scans of my identification documents**
3. After days of waiting, they finally "verified" my account
4. Only to turn around and demand **a video recording of my ID documents**
Each request came with 24-48 hour response delays, stretching what should have been a simple process into a week-long ordeal. The most infuriating part? There was **no clear explanation** for why each subsequent verification step was necessary after the previous ones were already approved.
**Complete Lack of Transparency**
At no point did their support team:
- Explain why a VPN triggered an immediate suspension
- Provide clear guidelines on acceptable verification documents
- Offer a reasonable timeline for resolution
- Have any apparent escalation path for unresolved issues
**Questionable Data Privacy Practices**
I'm extremely uncomfortable with how many sensitive documents they've collected without:
- Clear information about how my data will be stored
- Who has access to these documents
- What their data retention policies are
**Final Verdict: Avoid This Platform**
PlayerAuctions.com has created a marketplace where:
✅ Legitimate sellers are treated like criminals
✅ Simple account setup becomes a multi-day interrogation
✅ Support responds slowly and unhelpfully
✅ Verification requirements keep changing arbitrarily
There are far better alternatives available that respect users' time and privacy. I strongly advise against using PlayerAuctions.com unless you enjoy submitting personal documents to an opaque verification process that may never actually end.
**Rating: 1/10** - One of the worst marketplace experiences I've ever had.
