chances are it is a scam, some one can easily take back their accounts once you pay them the money and such... it's not hard at all. Also, buying and selling accounts in game and from ebay are against the EULA policies, it is a reportable offense and can get your account banned.

What i don't understand though is when someone is spamming wtb a ranked guildwars account, and you whisper them and tell them that it is against the EULA policy then they return your whisper cussing you out calling you an idiot like wtf? Then you're added to their ignore lists right away... i just wish people were more mature.

hope that helps answer your question. also, use search, there's alot of these questions already answered. and it's on Guildwiki.org under common scams.

It's against the End User License Agreement that you accepted by playing GW. Besides, he could steal the account back.
Buy a new boxed copy or get it from the Online Store.

why would someone sell GW accout/s for GW gold? unless they're planning on distributing the wealth to 'former' guildies, hmm... I dunno, as of late my trust in people has been challenged

sounds scamm-ish to me, IMHO your call though

thats what you get if you handle against the EULA of guildwars what you are doing is illegal so no sorry for you

Trakata · Oct 07, 2006, 02:42 PM // 14:42

Yeah, you really should've listened to the people who posted before. It's a scam 99.9% of the time; you're lucky he doesn't report you for attempting to buy an account.

You got screwed, just best to move on now.
