This is a warning to anyone who plans to use epicnpc.com.
While I understand some on that website try to help, the site itself is simply setup to allow scammers to conduct transactions at ease. I myself was victim of being scammed 2/2 on that website and the percent ratio of successful transactions is pretty low in my opinion. While there are middleman transactions, the problem isn't just getting the service, its' about the recalls later.
Just doing the math, over 9, 900 have been banned on that website in over 3 years for various reasons and that is only bans that have been reported. The point here is if you try to do business on that website, the fact is there is a solid chance that you will be ripped off either during or after the transaction was completed. If you're thinking the site is fully secure, you are completely wrong because a good bulk of the users on that website aren't. Simple as that.
I would advise others to look elsewhere instead of doing business with epicnpc.com.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
The site has so many systems to help members avoid scammers, it's alot safer than the above poster claims. There's a Verification system, Middleman services, feedback system and a nifty Location Info system that tells you the country and city they live in. So as long as you do a minimal of checking, like making sure their Paypal is verified, you should have any problem.
Obviously if you see someone that registered the same day, has 1 post and 0 feedback you should do more checking. After all it's a free trading forum.
Wow, there's no edit. I meant to say " you shouldn't have any problem." above.
You're exactly right MacBeth, it is a free trading forum. Free and full of scammers.
I was just recently scammed on this site. I'm debating if I should even bother reporting it. Seems even if I report it, all they'll do is ban the guy and then he can just turn around and recreate a new account and do it again. Not sure it's worth my time.
I'm taking the majority of transactions on these sites is pretty much full of scammers unless they have feedback.
Even the secure sellers on there aren't fully legit. They try but when they run into problems, you're screwed. There is nothing you can really do. My suggestion is if you're dealing with someone with no feedback, don't even bother. Best case is deal with someone that has some feedback.
Sorry can't even login to my complaintsboard account, tried password reset, not working.
I'm not going to blame Epicnpc anymore. I'm frustrated with the scammers out there. This is actually my 2nd time I was scammed. Tired of it. Want to move on from this so closing this.
There's scammers on every site, even Ebay. I've used Epicnpc for years and bought and sold a dozen different items and have never been scammed.
They even have a new escrow system where they're hold the money until you get your item.
This site is garbage.
I went on vacation a couple weeks ago. Logged into this site from my hotel, few hours later account is banned. Try to contact support to fix it and they are useless. Stay away from this site.
This site is loaded with scammers top to bottom. You simply can't trust anyone on this website. Scammed twice only site I have been scammed on. Site mods/admins are very rude. Don't use this site. Use epvp.
The owner of this company deleted my facebook post. Unbelievable! So I'll post it here
don't trust this website! i got banned because i sold an account and then it got sold on about a year later, then claimed back by person who bought it off me and i get instantly blamed and not the guy who bought it off me.
Just got banned on this ### website. Signed up next morning Im banned. No reason was given to me. This site is rubbish.
Just got banned also with epicnpc and already paid $10 for verified member.
The reason is : PayPal dispute
This site scammed me
They banned me and took my money. Dont use this site.
I was banned for making a negative claim against accountswarehouse.com for stealing my money and claimed I did not pass verification after I submitted 2 forms of id.
Purchased all the perks and bought credits and due to disagreement with mod about his biased stance with a 0 rep member over a 100+ rep member that said mod started looking for reason to take down all my stuff before banning me an labeling me as a scammer. I am a scammer for charging back on perks I purchased which were removed not long after purchase. purely because of spit he had towards me? ### off.
Will i be free of scams if i use the middleman service?
I've used their Trade Guardian system, it's pretty good, but it depends what your buying or selling. Accounts can still get recalled by the original owner, but nothing can protect against that.
If your buying items, currency, leveling or something that can't be recalled then it's very safe.
@ d4rk Q1L1n the ban reason says you disputed the Paypal payment. Of course they're going to ban you, lol.
@ryman5613 your ban reason says "Racism, Death threats, All sorts of bad behavior against seller here."
Gotta love people who dispute payments and give death threads complaining about getting banned. Take some responsibility for your own actions. Epicnpc is great!
I registered about 3 weeks ago in this garbage site and sold 2 of my accounts there, we were fine until I paid them for upgrading my account, next day I logged in to my account and saw that I am banned! I was so confused and asked the support the reason for my ban. most of their tickets assigned to a guy named "Mike D" who is in charge there and owns EpicNPC account. after so much delay he answered me that I own another banned account created in 2012. when I asked more and more he told me this "You literally listed the name bleuxbell in your contact info. Your unban request is denied" and obviously he was lying to me. I found this in my threads.

He edited my post himself and added bunch of banned emails and account to to get reason for banning me, after I show it to him he accepted that I did not listed the name bleuxbell in my contact info and he did. he change his words and lied again that problem is something else.
I asked people about him and I think this guy is a racism and has a problem with iranian people.
Be aware that they are liars and they abusing you and your money.
This is a warning to anyone thinking of trading on epicnpc, based on a recent real-life experience from the owner of 5-years-old account on this platform.
Beware that your account with all the reputation you've been building with your time and money might get suddenly blocked and there will be no one reasonable to help you. Empathizing friendly support that we're all used to on big platforms is non existent here.
I have been trading on epicnpc for more than 5 years and have collected hundreds of positive reviews from happy customers, invested thousands of dollars in advertising there and never violated any rules. What did I get for being a loyal user and paying customer? — My account got blocked on some bald assumptions that it was sold to someone else who was going to scam other users. (what? banning for something that did not but COULD happen?)
During the appeal process I have addressed all the administration's concerns and explicitly proven that the recent changes in my account (IP, new phone number, new card) were made by the account owner in the interest of the owner (so it wasn't sold to anyone).
It's worth noting that the administration didn't really care to investigate to make sure their accusation were true or not. I was the one requesting to take a look at least some evidence before making a final decision. After I have presented compelling evidence to prove the accusations were false, the administration just went completely deaf with one answer to all my questions: ''this account is now closed and you have to create a new one'' — thanks for the offer, but I'm not wasting another 5 years of my life for building a reputation here again. They did not comment on why my evidence was not enough or if they have other concerns or whether they have even looked through it.
To sum it all up: a careless administrator closed a 5 y.o. account of a paying customer without even trying to conduct a proper investigation. Demonstrated a complete lack of interest to help when I started doing the investigation for them. A horrible experience and a HUGE waste of time and money on trading at epicnpc.
Epicnpc team, please don't let the person who handled my case to work with any people, it's just not their strong point, really. Some AI bot like chatgpt would do the job much better and show more empathy in the process.
Anyone who is interested in more information feel free to email me at digital.uk.solutions@gmail.com
I'll show you what kind of ''support'' you may expect if you decide to trade on this platform.
P.S. I'm hoping for someone from the Epicnpc team to reach me as I am sure there was a big mistake and an innocent account got banned, and I can prove it to anyone who would care to look at facts and actual evidence.
P.P.S. Looking at other 1-star reviews, it seems I'm not the first one to experience this outrageous attitude from epicnpc, so stay away from this site guys, it's not worth it.
