Why do so many gold sellers have Player Auction Secure Checkouts setup[example:HamJamK & RS2Sell/R2Pleasant/King Tijn], while most of the other item sellers/skills services don't. I am mostly wondering what is the incentive to set that up and is it something specifically used for gold selling. This is mostly just a curiosity since it was a pattern I noticed in the gold selling section.
Playerauctions is like a middleman. All you need is a phone number to set up one. You can sell gold, items, accounts and powerleveling services there.
Pros:
Safety for sellers, protects you against chargeback.
For buyers, able to view seller reputation, unlikely to get scammed.
Able to cancel order if seller fails to deliver.
Various payment methods, accepts direct payment from credit card.
Cons:
High fees, they charge a 14.99%+$1.99 fee for gold and items, even higher for accounts and powerleveling services.
Not instant payment, PlayerAuctions will hold the payment until the buyer confirms delivery.
Order verification. For buyers, they will call you to confirm order and may request your ID documents for big transactions.
