I sold mine a while ago and got ripped off. Its impossible to sell your account without the risk of getting ripped off. My suggestion is not to do it.

Lol, nice, yet so true. Being as how it's illegal to sell your WoW account, there would be no way for you to get it back if you got scammed. I wouldn't recommend doing it.

Heh, I sold mine of eBay a year ago. I guess they weren't cracking down on it as much as they are now.

I sold mine on this website....then later worked to get my account back when I realized how much they underpaid me. Selling is ALOT safer than buying an account but there is always that chance that you will get ripped off.

Hey, here's something original. Instead of worrying about all the ways of getting "scammed" in selling the account, why not just close the account up.. You had fun with the game while paying for it, so why try to make a profit off it now?

what website is the best and most secure that won't screw me over?

There are several reasons why you should not sell your account, one is that it is illegal but no one cares about that.

The other reasons are much more game related, as the guy that will buy your account will most probably be a idiot that has never played the class in question and just don't want to do the leveling part, and that results in a guy that has no frigin idea how to play and then he joins a guild and spoils not just for himself but for allot of other people.

I tried to sell mine and of course got ripped off, easy fix though just call blizzard and say someone has changed your password they ask you a couple questions about your account if you can answer they reset to your settings,

sell it at accounts.com. I had a 70 hunter with mostly blues and a few greens and I got like $120. They'll pay you within a few hours to and I would recommend them.

I don't remember the site I used back in December. I used Paypal and had the money before I ever gave the account info out. So it's not impossible, just use common sense.

So basically you scammed the website.

You sold them your account, then used the original details to steal it back off them. Doesn't matter if you sold it undervalue - you still stole it when you took it back.

This is exactly the danger that anyone buying an account faces - the original seller takes back the account using original details

I sold my account for $300. It was a 70 Rogue in blues. Don't worry about getting scammed because as the seller, you are in fact the one who would be doing the scamming (meaning that buyers have very little scamming power). The most they can do is recall their money on Paypal - in which you would reply to Paypal saying that it wasn't a tangible good that was dealt with and Paypal will cancel the money recall.
