Before You Order From a Marketplace

Check the specific seller's or listing's own rating on the marketplace, not just the platform's overall score.
Start with a smaller order before committing to a large purchase, especially with a new seller.
Use the platform's built-in payment and dispute process rather than moving off-platform.
Keep records of the listing, price and any chat communication until the order is confirmed complete.

These points describe what to check with any marketplace; they are not claims about PlayerUp's specific policies. Scores are editorial assessments (see Our Review Process) and are compared only with vendors reviewed on MMODude.

What You Can Buy

PlayerUp: seattle-based account and item trading forum rated 3.5/5 on 825 reviews with little recent feedback and limited business transparency. We have not matched it to a specific game page yet, so it appears here as a reviewed vendor rather than in a game's vendor list.

How We Rank Vendors

Scores on this page are informed by publicly available trust signals — Trustpilot ratings and review volume, third-party trust-scanner assessments, and patterns reported across forums and review sites — combined into our own editorial assessment. They are not a substitute for checking current reviews yourself before buying. See our full review process for details.
