After many months of working diligently to enable a safe online trading environment for our new product, we are very pleased to announce that unparalleled protection will soon be available for the secure online player-to-player trading of frozen water, or as we proudly refer to it at PlayerAuctions, “Arctik Freeze”.
Unlike our other supported product types, Arctik Freeze (commonly known to many people as “ice”) will need to be shipped to a mailing address after purchase. We appreciate concerns our buyers may have with regard to providing their mailing address to sellers. However, to address and alleviate those concerns, PlayerAuctions has developed a new security model specifically for trading Arctik Freeze: sellers will deliver the Arctik Freeze to PlayerAuctions, who will send the Arctik Freeze to the buyer’s mailing address provided during registration.
Below is the summarized order process for Arctik Freeze:
- Seller posts Arctik Freeze For Sale Offer on PlayerAuctions
- Buyer creates order and sends payment to PlayerAuctions
- PlayerGuardian secures Buyer’s payment, and informs Seller of purchase
- Seller sends Arctik Freeze to PlayerAuctions
- PlayerAuctions confirms Seller’s delivery
- PlayerAuctions sends Arctik Freeze to Buyer’s mailing address
- Buyer confirms delivery to PlayerAuctions
Our members and the gaming community can rest assured that with our security model, both the buyer and seller will be protected.
As a preview, the Arctik Freeze product icon will be:
We have high hopes for PlayerAuctions with the addition of Arctik Freeze. Our website will certainly first receive an update to enable our members to securely buy and sell Arctik Freeze online, and our IT and Design teams are working assiduously to have that update on our marketplace soon.
Stay tuned for more updates!
April 2, 2009 Edit: We hope everyone had a nice April Fool's day... ... and to remove any ambiguity: This blog post was in honor of April 1st. PlayerAuctions will not be securing the buying and selling of ice over the Internet any time soon.
