Anyone who sells and doesn't wait until the money is in your bank account before giving them the login/pw is pretty much dumb ;[ If they won't wait the 3-4 days for it to process they are 90% of the time trying to pull a scam. I also usually wait until I mail out a confirmed delivery package usually with a copy of the WoW discs or something. Depending on the person it'll be normal delivery confirmation for tracking # and sometimes I do signature confirmation.
I don't give the SQ/SA anymore either it's just not worth it and makes sure I get quick recovery.
I'm at 5 people trying to scam out of the 20 accounts or so I've sold between ebay and realpoor.com. Four out of the five got their money back (this was before I started mailing out stuff for safety) but I got my accounts back w/ all items restored in less than 24 hours. The fifth got to eat a dick cause paypal went in my favor with my ebay seller protection, my signature confirmation etc. So I got my account back and kept his $200.
In short. Call blizzard and tell them you got hacked or whatever. Tell them to freeze the account and then fax in a copy of your drivers license and their retrieval form. Will take 2-3 days and you'll get your shit all back and know better next time you try to sell.
i sold two accounts using markeedragon as my main form of advertising... out of the 200+ people i talked to, maybe less than 30 were serious about paying out money for the account.
most people trying to buy on popular sites are scammers until proven otherwise - you as a seller are afraid of them because paypal is much easier to manipulate than blizzard is (although due to blizzard's account policies you can always recall your account but lots of people don't know how to go about this..)
