Selling Game Account as well as Email

A question for the somewhat more internet-savvy people here on TL.

I am selling a game account of mine and since said account is tied to an email adress of mine ( admins wont let me change it) which also handles all my other stuff I am a little concerned.

Now this selling of the account also coincides with me changing my email address since the old one is a rather childish sound one ( done when I was about 14). I have carried over all all stored Email from the old account into the new one and am looking of course to delete these messages on the old account. Furthermore I am in the process of changing my email address to the new one on all the sites I can remember off the top of my head ( ebay, TL, paypal, etc.).
In addition there is a 30-day period in which all Email that is adressed to my old email account will be forwarded to the new one.

What will go down in about 2 weeks is that the old email address including password and the game account will go to the new owner.

My question is: Is this safe enough? Are there any other precautions I need to take? Can the new owner of the old email address access anything that was previously tied to that address?
And is there a way to make sure that I have changed the email address on ALL sites that were connected to my old email?

I changed my b.net email adress once, when my account was hacked. You could just tell them you have been hacked (like the account plus the email adress) and try to change the adress that way.

Oh it's not a battle.net account, right? Because you would be able to change the email adress there yourself, there's an option for that.
