just write a ticket and say that you never traded gold. you will get the account back for sure. its an automated ban by their scripts. my ban triggered by sending all my leather from one to another account.

How many auctions were you posting a day? This ban is usually caused by flooding the AH with un-realistic amounts of auctions. Or handling too much of one item, either mailing or selling.

I was posting around 200 auctions per day, with not more than 10 auctions of the same item at any one time.

Keys to botting without getting into trouble?

Moderation and keep it quiet.

The moderation gets 99% of the botters since they are greedy. They will harvest the same area 24/7 and some will even report other bots just so they can get the spoils instead. Limit yourself/account/character activity to look like a regular casual player. Not one that will do 12 to 18 (or more) hours everyday

Keeping it quiet is a hard thing. Your characters level pretty good pace if you do the questing. However, you could easily find yourself with loads of products/gold. This draws a slight flag. And if you ever try to get rid of it in large quantities, you can almost guarantee that you will be calling in for account support.

This ban seems to be yet just another one of those that falls into these categories. Nothing new for moderate botters to be worried about.
