So I have a region locked beta key for the US SC2 beta but my cousin's on the EU server, so I was wondering if anyone had an EU key who doesn't care if they're on the US servers and were willing to trade.
I'm wondering if a mod or admin could act as a middle man to make sure that neither of us is getting scammed.

I'm curious how you think the middle man will help. How are they going to test to make sure the keys are valid before they distribute them?

I don't have an EU key but I'm fairly certain you can email blizzard support and have them switch it for you.

The middleman could set up 2 new gmail accounts and attempt to activate the 2 keys on the 2 accounts (1 each). If they are both valid, the middleman can then give out the email accounts/passwords to the respective parties, and then each party can change the email address/password of the b.net account.

Basically, since you can edit the e-mail addresses on the b.net accounts, having an unregistered beta key is equivalent to having some buffer e-mail address.

Ah interesting I guess that can work but it's wayyy too much work to expect some random tl admin/mod to do when there are tens of thousands of keys floating around in every which direction now lol

People do this pretty often, google house swapping. If you want to go on holidays for a few weeks, just swap with someone

I'm not a mod or admin but I am not new to the site, and would be willing to middleman if you want. I also have my own beta key anyways, so even less motive to double scam you guys! (proof: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=119672 )

You do know this is against Blizzards terms of service, therefore TL doesn't support these threads, right?

No? Just give the admin the name and pw of the account you have and he'll logon and check...

I don't understand... if A has a US key and B has an EU key and they want to trade, they haven't activated the keys yet. That is, the keys aren't tied to any account. If they activate the keys with their own accounts, then the admin would have access not only to the keys but to A's and B's b.net accounts, which is more information than is trying to be exchanged (not to mention that the keys have now already been activated and now cannot be traded without trading both b.net accounts...).

EDIT: Can you explain what you mean a little more?

Isn't only trading accounts against ToS, and not the key itself? Kind of if say, I bought a copy of WoW and gave the key to you before activating an account with the key, and similarly you gave me yours.

... key can only be used once to upgrade a Battle.net account to participate in the beta test, and while we encourage you to share this key with someone you know, it must not be traded or sold.

I think that means traded for something of value... not a key from another realm lol
