People Buying/Selling Accounts : World of Warcraft General Discussions

So many people buy/sell/trade accounts, it made me think after a while... What is to stop the origional account owner reclaiming it and getting access back? So much money changes hands, is there a way to secure a bought account? :S

It happens alot.

My friend buyed a WoW account for 300€, around 330$ or something like that, he had it for like 3 weeks, then the first owner took it back, !@#$%^&* happens :s

Why don't they just sue them for like twice as much the account was?

Because if Blizzard found out then they could ban both of you but still its better to get the thief banned then to just let him get away with it

I really get irritated by people who buy, sell and trade accounts. I hate it when people are so lazy that they pay for already played characters off of eBay or other sites. I hope Blizzard starts to ban said accounts, because the people who end up buying accounts like that make it feel unfair to the rest of us who have spent hours trying to reach the maximum level.

Hey man that is just life some people have it easier than other some have to do twice the work and we can't do anything about it, sure i agree cause having to deal with someone in a 60 instance group that doesn't know how to heal or tank is frustratingand embarassing at the same time

It'll likely be even more frustrating when the level cap is 70, instances are even harder, and the eBayers come.

Yeah no kidding i can't wait to see how they treat um they will probably make them kill themselves for buying an ebay account

Often people level one char to 60, then are bored with it, so they sell it, and with the money they sold it for, they buy another level 60, so that they dont have to level all over again, but they can still have fun at level 60. I see no problem with this.

There is nothing to stop the original owner reclaiming the account back, but generally, unless someone is extremely dodgy, they shouldnt do it. There is alot of trust involved definately, but dont think everyone is out there to screw you.
