How does PlayerAuctions work?

When you buy, does it automatically say that you have payed so the seller will deliver the money?

How does PA know that the seller delivered the money?

Thanks

 

After PA confirms and secures your payment, they will inform the seller, who will then deliver the money. The seller gets paid 3 days after (less for some power-sellers) both the buyer and the seller confirm the delivery. The seller is required to record proof of the trade so that they can show it to PA if the buyer says it was never delivered.

 

On a note to what Pockets has said, do realize that payment confirmation is not always instant depending on the payment option you choose. Once the payment is verified, however, they will send you an email of your order update as well. Do not bash on a seller if you have to wait over 20 minutes for them to deliver - most of the time your payment has yet to be verified by PlayerAuctions manual review.

 

So if you pay with paypal, do they do manual reviews?

 

Yes, they go into manual review for PayPal. For that payment option, it states that it takes up to 0-60 minutes for payment to be verified. You can also check here - http://www.playerauctions.com/help/content/buyer-payments/#989

Beside the payment options it states information on each one, including fee's buyers will hit on there orders for that payment type or if it requires manual verification or not.
