The problem remains unresolved. Till you get your money do not give you game account or you will never get your money. I still, have acces to my game account and will cut access to the buyer.

Original review Jan 18, 2025
Put my STFC game account for sale on PlayerUp around the end of 2023. In March 2024, an offer came in and I accepted it, using their 'secure way' with the Middleman.

The buyer transferred the money to their Middleman and I transferred the account to the buyer. The waiting period was stated to be around a maximum of 14 days to get money through PayPal or bank. After the time expired, I contacted them and got a response 7 days later that they had some issues with PayPal. After a month of back and forth, they made me change my way of cashing out from PayPal to a bank account, which took another month or so.

Yet again, they told me they had a problem with the bank this time. I contacted them even through their quick resolution center on Telegram and still had a ton of excuses and no money. After that, despite several attempts, they started not responding anymore.

I posted some bad reviews about them on different review sites which made them contact me and promised to send the money if I took down the reviews, which I did. Guess what, it's 2025 and the money hasn't come yet.

Potential Scam Alert: My Experience with PlayerUp

  • - Bought a $103 game account on PlayerUp; sale canceled.
  • - Refunds claimed Dec 4; still not arrived; support unresponsive.
Potential Scam Alert: My Experience with PlayerUp
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

On November 5, 2024, I purchased a game account on the PlayerUp platform (Order ID: 100********) for $103 USD. However, the transaction was canceled because the seller refused to complete the deal through PlayerUps system.

After the cancellation, PlayerUp converted my payment into website credits instead of refunding the amount to my original payment method.

I attempted to cash out the credits back to my credit card, which I used for the initial payment, but I never received the funds. Over the following weeks, I contacted PlayerUps support through their Telegram channel and website messaging system. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, my efforts were met with either no response or unhelpful replies.

On December 4, 2024, I finally received a message stating that my refund had been completed, but as of January 2, 2025, I have not received any funds in my account. Further requests for assistance through Telegram have gone unanswered, leaving me to conclude that I may never recover my money.

Warning to Potential Users

Based on my experience, I strongly caution anyone against using PlayerUp for any type of transaction.

Whether the transaction is successful or not, you may encounter issues similar to mine, where funds are withheld or refunds are delayed indefinitely.

Their lack of responsive customer support and opaque refund process raise serious concerns about the platform's credibility and reliability.

For your safety, consider using more reputable platforms with transparent payment and refund policies. Avoid risking your money on a service that may not have your best interests at heart.

Poor Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The refund request has been pending for over 72 hours with no update.
  • - I've contacted support multiple times without acknowledgment.

Extremely disappointed with the lack of response and transparency. I submitted a refund request over 72 hours ago and have reached out to customer support multiple times since, yet I haven't received a single update or acknowledgment.

The silence is frustrating and unacceptable. At this point, it feels like my request is being ignored, and I'm left wondering if I'll ever get my money back.

There's been no communication, no follow-up, and no accountability. I expected better.

Sad excuse of a company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The reviewer says the business takes money and provides nothing.
  • - They advise others not to bother.

This business is run by lowlifes that will take your couple of bucks and not give you anything, instead of being a productive part of society and selling multiple things to you. Maybe one day they'll grow big and strong and learn how to make real money; until then, don't bother. Pretty pathetic people.

Cons:
  • Scam

  • - Ordered an account; seller never gave login info.
  • - Refund took 1-2 weeks.
  • - Charged again; store credits.

I ordered a account off of this website and the person never gave me the information for the account so I refunded my order and it took 1 to 2 weeks for me to get my money back and then I get my money back and a month later they randomly charged me and took it out of my account putting my card in the negatives and put it in as store credits or what do not use this website its a waste of time

Frustrated

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Communication is dreadful and refunds have been delayed for months.
  • - It's pointless contacting them via their site; Telegram is slightly better.
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

In theory, the idea is a good one, but the communication is dreadful, and I have been waiting months now for a refund. They ignore everything, and when they do speak, they say I am 'prioritised', and 'someone will be in today to work on this' - then silence for weeks.

I am so close to calling it a scam.

It's pointless contacting them via their site. Telegram is slightly better, but not by much.

Loss:

Pros:
  • Looks good
  • In theory should work
Cons:
  • Almost zero communication
  • No refunds given

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Stay well away

I am finally in the process of getting a refund. The delay was caused by a scammer trying to steal the refund and get it diverted to their account so I was, perhaps, a little harsh
