Possible Player Auctions Security Problem

i dont really get which bit your looking at to get this information, can you explain it to me?

also i have traded over $150,000 through PA, seems safe enough to me.

It is not that big problem ,but if you do not want to share you personal ID card with anyone. Because someone can just make a copy of it or abuse it. I bet that they can easily find ways.

I also remeber other problems with PA . I have sold like 30 accounts there ,but there was problem that you had to change your email to owner's one once he checkout. So in time between you has sent details to PA and they reviewed it, the buyer could easily accept email change and then recover lost password and change it. Then wipe out or destroy account and you would have no chance to prove it to PA ,because once they will go to check account details you provided they will find out that password is wrong so they will ask you for new and if you would not repsond with working one then they will return money to buyer. I reported this bug few times also mailed them ,but nothing has change. I do not know how it is now ,because it was like 6 months ago.

to be fair thats account trading, and it does not matter where or who you buy an account from there is always a risk of the account being taken back anyway.

i think it was gold4fun who made a new policy if your account is taken back they would replace your account with another account, but if you lost all items from other character then it was pretty much tough luck anyway + the same thing can just happen again.

well I was selling these accounts (as I have sold around 100 on sythe and I have never recorvered them back) ,but this was risk because of their bug in system ,where you as seller was risking that buyer wipe out or destroy account and you could not do anything about it. Its not about that account trading is riskly. Yes it is ,if you do not trade with correct people ,but PA gives little bit safety to it. I would say more for buyer then seller.

I was putting my account up for sale and I clicked "create an offer like this one" at the bottom of somebody's thread. I scrolled down and it had the ID he had uploaded with his name, address etc etc.

I tried this again on a few other offers and after checking around 20 or so, I was able to see 5 IDs of the seller.

Not exactly sure how somebody could use the ID but all I know is that I think a fair bit of damage could be done.
