PlayerAuction Plat Market

Are the plat there for sale legit or a scam?

A website with "auction" in the title, that claims to offer some sort of in-game currency? I'd have a hard time not believing it wasn't just another scam

i would not say one way or the other, however know this, DE does not support and is not responsible for anything outside of direct trading in warframe using the game. Don't come crying to here demanding DE do anything if you do use a 3rd party site and get ripped off

And don't be surprised if you buy platinum from a source like this and end up having it confiscated, or even being banned.

Don't do it. The only legitimate source for platinum purchases is from DE.

Farm relics, use warframe.market and sell them. It's painlessly easy and earns you tons of platinum. You will be surprised how much platinum you can make and how easily it can be done.

You risk ban and it happens a lot so don't, if you want to buy plat wait for 75% login discount

Do not buy premium currency for any game from a third party seller ever, it's that simple, they always keep track of how much real money currency is in your account and the second it increases and they see no transactions from their personal and official site, you are done.
Also third party sellers are always scams to fish for credit card and personal information.
It's 2018 you can not afford to be ignorant about these kinds of things.

Never touch a site that offers you ingame currency outside the game, is obviusly fishy and will lead to counless problems, is safer to sell your soul to the devil than dealing with "Auction".

Doesn't matter if the Plat they sell is legit or a scam.
Insta-perma-ban, plain and simple, for you and the seller if they are real.
You buy Platinum from DE ONLY or...gone. No other option exists.
Now you can't say you weren't warned.

[Ranger Jay]

Do not buy Platinum from anyone other than DE.

Always only purchase premium currency through in-game purchasing.

The game publisher is always the one guaranteed legitimate source of the premium currency for their game.

Any site offering to sell a game's premium currency is doing it at some discounted rate, so you have to ask yourself how they can do that and make money for themselves considering the only real source of the currency is at the purchase price shown in game by the game publisher.

There are only so many ways a third party site could sell discounted currency and actually make money, and all of them are triggers for bans by the game publisher. No matter if the third party is selling scam purchased currency and doing chargebacks to recover the money they spent on the plat they sold you at a discount, using stolen credit cards to purchase the plat they sell you at a discount, outright scamming you out of your credit card info, using an ingame discout daily draw to purchase a large ammount then selling it below non-discount price, or selling plat they made via in-game trading, if money is being exchanged with someone other than the game publisher for the premium currency the game publisher is well within their rights to ban you.

One of the reasons for this is to protect their revenue stream. They are a business afterall and have to make some profit to make it worth it to them.

Another reason is for legal purposes, there are taxation issues in many countries where the government is understandably upset with the exchange of virtual goods for real currency in such a hard to track and tax way.
