ever since i got the tassadar portrait a couple days ago on my sc2 account i have been getting messages from people wanting to buy my account. I don't care about achievements or portraits, the only reason why I have played as many games as I have (and will continue to do so) is to try and get better at the game. However one guy offered 600 USD and said Ebay only. Now I looked and I guess even though it is illegal to do this a lot of people sell wow accounts with fixed price auctions before the VERO people from ebay discover it within 1-2 days and take it down for being illegal.

Does any1 here have experience with this, and should I do it? I would ask for payment then send them the email + password right?

Why dont come up with something. Put a lawnmover on EBAY, but in reality its something else, only you 2 knows it, you know the price so he can always pay more than any 3rd guy coming to buy your lawnmover, then when things has to shift owners he pays 600 and you give him your account.

Also the reason why its illegal, i think, is the same reason why its illegal to print money, which is a serious crime.

$600 dollars holy crap

if you can somehow find a secure way to negotiate with it go ahead
Just purchase another copy and enjoy $540

Oh and make sure you don't put yourself in a bad situation

Let me tell you why he said Ebay only:

- Selling games accounts are illegal on Ebay

So he's going to buy your account on Ebay, change the account's password and then open a Paypal dispute asking for a refund that he will 100% win due to the initial illegal selling.

Althought I do want to know, if your goal is to play a ton to just get better ,why do you only cheese? I always thought you were doing that just to get as many games in as possible

wtf 2000 games in like 40 days
I believe thats about 11 hours a day if avg game is 15 minutes

thats 54$ a day or almost 4.90$ an hour.


I might sell it still even though that sounds like a terrible wage. You can rebuy the game for 40$
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

ok thanks, guess I wont sell then. I thought paypal wouldnt refund the money but if there is a chance they do I don't want to risk it.

and I usually don't cheese -_- I die to cheese a lot more than doing it myself

just ask any decent player like slush if i cheese or not...

this thread can be closed now as its served its purpose and now turning into a discussion about cheese lol

I would sell that shit in a heartbeat. Transfer the account when you get the money. Of course it is illegal but damn.

Say you want a money order for the full amount. If he says no, then it's fair to assume that he's a dirty little thief.

except there's no safe way to do it, other than having a trusted third party hold the money in escrow

if you do it through ebay/paypal, you're just asking to get scammed

Yeah, so transfer after you get the money. Obviously it is shady but 600 bucks for a SC2 account? Nothing like getting paid for your time.

On Ebay the buyer has 45 days after the paiement to open a paypal dispute.
All he has to do is change the acc. password and claim the refund for illegal selling.

If you manage to pull it off somehow, do it. Be happy that you can sell your account for absurd amount of money. Not too long down the road, you'll be glad to get 80 dollars for it.

O and HOLY SHIT son, you massed games like NUTS.
I like money. You like money too? We should hang out.

Listen. Don't use paypal. A paypal purchase gives you something like a month or 2 to make a complaint and get cash back. There are alternatives so do your research, some won't allow people to chargeback on digital products at all, as long as the product was delivered.

Yeah, if you transfer money out of that account he can't get a refund can he? And can't you do the security question thing to make sure he doesn't scam you or can that be changed once you know the password?
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

If hes serious about buying and you are serious about selling use western union. If you really really really want to use paypal then ship a tracked letter with your account info to him. There are a lot of other tips from selling mmo goods that you can find if you google it.
