So I've gotten a few old guild mates interested and did a few /trade shouts. Let's say a few of them are legit, they probably wont buy enough to keep me out of stock each week so along with selling to these private buyers, I'll be selling to chinese. This is where I'm wondering, now I use a $15 vanilla account everytime I sell to chinese, cause it's going to get banned. Now if I use the same vanilla to sell to a private buyer, what are the odds they're going to get banned? What if they want to buy gold when I dont have a vanilla, since some of you seem to say since its a "regular" trading occurrence (by wow log's standards) that you can be more lenient on how/what you trade and trade with them through your guild bank (have them join and withdraw), or maybe even face to face? Just looking for some opinions, I want to keep my buddies safe and not purposely get them suspended/banned, but if they're going to be a familiar trading buddy I thought I read around here that, that's less chance for them to get suspended/banned when trading gold, but I'd probably just make another guild bank and deposit the gold into that bank with my auction house toon (again is this safe? since its a private buyer/person I've traded with on repeat basis?) that took the gold out of my farming guild bank.. I use the $15 to avoid getting banned on my farmers (yes i know it can be linked, and has happened but only one farmer got banned) but I dont want to waste $15 everytime a private buyer wants to buy gold, which might not be worth enough to justify $15 vanilla.. Yeah I'm aware these posts are common, I did some searching around and didnt fight quite what I wanted, which was when a seller sells to both chinese and private buyers, how do they keep private buyers safe.. I mean if you sell 300k on a vanilla to chinese person then sell 50k to a private buyer, makes me worried.
I had this thought as well. to solve this i have one vanilla account to trade with private buyers, i only sell in batches of 20k of less to private, as for the chinese i use a different vanilla account and only trade with 300k+, sometimes if i line up 2 buyers i will sell to two or three people at once with the one account before it get banned. i have never lost my account that i use to trade with private buyers. Oh, the vanilla account i use for private buyers i level a toon so as to keep under the raydar. as soon as it gets high i delete and start again. hope this help. P.s sorry for the bad english. it's not my first language
I sell to guild mates. Which..is my guild master. You can ask your guild leader to set a limit your friend can withdraw. Say you are selling him 20k, make the GM a rank to with draw 20k when you deposit 20k. This only works if you know the guild leader pretty good. I sell gold to my guild master. I deposit the amount of money he wants to buy after he sends the money on paypal. He withdraws the guild. If you don't know the guild leader so well. You can probably lie and say you want to give gold to your friend but you are paranoid and don't want to be banned. I've sold over 200k to guildies and have no troubles. As far as GM's know, its to my guild. And they don't care. If you don't want your guildies to be suspicious and report, deposit 1g/1c until the logs are spammed Not sure about other methods of private selling other then the guild vault method.
In US version it is not against the TOS to buy gold just to sell it so unless your private buyers sell it to someone else they will not get banned.
