Is PA stealing $300 from me?

[kmjt]

Recently I noticed PA randomly put a "phoenix powerseller" rank on my playerauctions account. They did this without informing or asking me. When I browse the powerseller info it says that a $300 deposit is required to be a playerauctions phoenix powerseller.. does this mean they are going to just take $300 from my paypal or keep that from my recent transactions? ...

I never told them I wanted to be a powerseller because to me it is a completely useless rank, so I wouldn't be happy if I now had to pay this $300.

They have $300 from me come to think of it. So the answer to your question is, quite simply, yes.

You have nothing to worry about, this is given to you free.

Here's what the money says

No. There are no fees to qualify for or maintain a PowerSeller status.

But for better service and profit we offered to powersellers,you will first need to pay the customary PowerSeller deposit fee . The deposit fee is an integrity control factor PlayerAuctions uses as a means to discourage any potential fraudulent behavior.

Basically it's free but they are offering account protection services. As long as you dont intend on breaking the rules you do not need this.

Honestly I disagree with this... I read it over as-well and from the looks of it, this is what I've gathered. Basically, you'll be paying $300 as kind of like a deposit for an apartment. As such, if you were to scam/not-deliver/recover an account, then money would be taken out of that $300. Staying with the same analogy, kind of like fees taken out of an apartment deposit for punching the wall and causing a hole.

Tell them you don't want it, and they're taking money without your knowledge.

Hmm so I assume they are taking it from my recent transactions since they haven't charged me on paypal.

Yeah but they can't just charge your PayPal its not a credit card.

 

[Meeester]

I believe this is your insurance against scammers/you scamming (no implications)

It comes with being a powerseller.

 

[chinesekid]

i dont think they can charge your paypal like that.

I've only used PA once or twice for small amounts, but i've heard of this problem on yahoo answers from a large seller and the top rated answers were yes.

Mind sending me some screenshots through PM? I'd like to see what's going on.

Yes, they are basically stealing it from you, as it seems like you will get your deposit back once you are done with PA, which will most likely be never lol.
