    Me and the buyer's middleman, Edward Reyes. Has not been responding to either of us in almost 3 day and this delays things. Me(the seller) has come to agreedment with the buyer that he would pay the middleman fees and I would sent him an $10 iTunes in return of him paying the full price of the middleman service.but instead I payed 20 dollars iTunes because there is some confusing and our middleman did it for safety reason locked the iTunes. so I have to get another one, and the middleman told me that he'll be paying me the grand total of 95 dollar because of the mistakes. Than now he hasn't been respond to either of us and it gets me sort of worried because I've already paid 20 dollars of iTunes and I haven't gotten anything and I don't know if this is normal of what's going on?

    Also the original price for my clash of clan account was $50.

    Do you use K,I,K, Skype, or another messenger service?
    No. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons. Anyone who attempts to contact you through a 3rd party messenger claiming they are us is fraudulent.

    When should I release my account information to the buyer?

    Never release your account information unless (@Middleman) contacts you through the PlayerUp Conversation Ticket System. We will never contact you through e-mail, K,I,K, skype, or any 3rd party service. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons.

    Here is how our process works:

    How does it work?
    1). Sellers create and post middleman buy now listings (click here)
    2). Buyer clicks on buy now listing and completes payment
    3). We verify and secure the buyers payment
    4). We create a 3 way conversation ticket with the Buyer and Seller
    5). We inform the Seller which specific account information they need to release to the Buyer
    6). During this process, we will communicate and guide both the Buyer and Seller.
    7). Buyer secures and verifies the account
    8). Payment is then disbursed to the Seller

    Edward Reyes = Doesn't Work For Us = Well Known Scammer

    If you type "Edward Reyes" into playerup search, you'll see the countless scams he has pulled. Basically he scams people into believing he works for us offsite which he doesn't.
