So last night my inactive second account got hacked and long story short ended up with 60k across 6 servers that i sold for cash and got banned for about 5-10 mins ago for.

Which brings me to my question- How do you sell gold now a days without getting banned if you cant direct trade?
 
I do face to face all the time and no ban for over 3 months now on 5 accounts. luck of the draw maybe? also might depend on the buyer and sale amount ect..
 
4-9k trades over prob 6-8 servers. maybe due to the fact that i had just got hacked that they were paying attention to the account for a limited time?

Nope.

Most likely, you traded your gold with some Chinese company (not being racist or anything!).
If they logged in through chinese IP or a VPN that is known to be used by the chinese gold sellers or they were being monitored by blizzard in any way, your account gets flagged and looked into for trading with them.
At least that's my theory.

So what most people do is, use a Vanilla account just to do the trades.
The vanilla gets banned and the farming accounts keep on going.
BUT sometimes, they dig in enough to relate the vanilla with your account(s) and thus banning all of them in one swift move!

So yeah.. don't get into goldselling unless you're :
a) Trading with someone you know irl/guild (their account won't be flagged, so it will look like a normal trade)
b) Willing to take the risk of losing either the trading account or all accounts with each trade you do.
c) Selling lots of gold so you can cover up your losses if you did get banned.

So in conclusion, there is no "safe" way of selling gold.
You sell gold, you get banned sooner or later, hopefully later.

Good luck!
 
Thanks, this makes sense. I do believe the gold seller/buyer to chinese as there msn name was lee machel or something so it sounded Chinese. Shoulda found a god damn english traderr!
 
Use a vanilla, if you sell more than ~600k, use two vanillas. I sold 1mil on one vanilla and as someone mentioned, they looked a little further and banned one farmer. This only relates to chinese people/trading with level 1 accounts.

For my private buyers I just use my farmer to invite them to my guild and have them take gold out, no problems (since private buyers = level 85 players, make sure they have a level 85, I prefer them to use their 85 so I know they're not saying they do then using a vanilla - dont wanna get banned on my farmer.. )
 
My friend's acct went inactive when he stopped playing. A few months later he got an email saying his acct was banned for selling gold. So someone hacked his acct, paid the $15 to make the acct active and sold gold from it, which he had no gold so they got that from somewhere else. Ive never sold any so I don't know a safe way to do it. Bliz can track anything they want so it's just getting harder.

I'm just straight up blunt with my guild , when I started selling I simply asked in guild chat if anyone was looking to buy cheap gold. It's not much but I sell to about 5 to 6 guildmates on a weekly basis for $1 per k

Not saying to do that , that's just how I found my buyers. I also don't use vanillas , I trade directly from my raiding toon to another raider in my guild , so if blizz looks into it , it appears as if I'm helping a friend get that special piece of armor or lap dance whatever he/she is using it for.
 
i use my third acc (with 2-3 85's) to sell gold via guild banks at 3 servers!
i have sold over 1mil to each server with no problems at all!
P.S. have never trade face to face with china ppl...
 
you find private buyers easly i already have a few while tellinng in trade what mats i have to sell:) just say in trade WTS Bla bla and people wil whisper u
