The verdicts
Eldorado
The largest marketplace in this set by review volume, with the most completely documented buyer process: escrow through TradeShield, a 3-day review window, a free 5-day account warranty, a dispute route with published timings and fees printed on both sides. The warranty is short next to some rivals, refunds land in the Eldorado balance first, and roughly one review in nine is one-star. Suits a buyer who wants breadth and a documented process and will do the account checks inside the first five days.
PlayerAuctions
The oldest marketplace in this set, run by a US company since 1999, with escrow through PlayerGuardian, a 72-hour inspection phase and a documented dispute committee whose decisions are final. Its weak points are also documented: the seller fee rate is not on a public page, cover against a reclaimed account beyond the inspection phase is a paid insurance add-on, and nearly one Trustpilot review in five is one-star, many of them about identity checks. Suits a buyer who values a long track record and will buy the insurance on an expensive account.
