The verdicts
G2G
A Singapore-registered marketplace running since 2015 with payments held by a payment partner until the buyer confirms, a 14-day insurance period on account orders, and a refund that can go back to the original payment method. The strict side is written down just as clearly: all sales are final outside non-delivery or a mismatch, a claim must be raised within 72 hours, a chargeback ends any investigation, and the Trustpilot average is the lowest of the large marketplaces here at 3.9. Suits a buyer who reads the 72-hour rule and acts inside it.
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.
Games both list accounts for: Fortnite, Valorant, Clash of Clans, Roblox, Pokémon GO, Mobile Legends, PUBG Mobile, Apex Legends.
