I am not sure if this is the right forum or if it is even allowed but here it goes.
I have been playing wow for a very long time and botting for a couple of years now, always for personal use, to cover the cost of BoEs for alts, flasks, repairs etc. But with gold being in such huge abundance these days I find myself stockpiling and having no actual use for it.
I started thinking about all these success threads I read about people getting some nice extra cash on the side and I wouldn't mind getting in on this myself, I am a student so any extra cash is very much useful to me and I was therefore hoping you guys would give me a couple of hints / introduce me to the trade, I have a few questions but please feel free to add your input regardless.
1) Should I start by selling to a "chinese" gold buyer website? There are some credible and well-established ones on the net but at what cost? Will they buy for a much cheaper price as opposed to private sellers?
2) Should I get a vanilla account under the same/different battle.net to announce in trade for private buyers? How do you guys get private customers?
3) How do you prevent getting scammed when selling to private buyers? Or websites for that matter, do you use paypal? How do you transfer funds from paypal to local bank without the tax authorities putting you in jail? Will all that extra money (however big/small) not raise any suspicion/be taxable?
Thanks
