Blizzard looking harder at account to account transfers I believe.

I've had around 15-20 bans this week that were all due to account to account transfers. Nothing linked these transactions, no billing information, no IP information...Nothing that I can think of to link them. I roll my IP twice daily, I use throwaway credit cards that only are used one time to open/transfer characters. I cannot figure out what the problem is and now I personally have around 20 customers whose accounts have been banned. Not really sure how to remedy this, or what the issue actually is. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.



That said, the people that have this problem I realize its frustrating for you, and as soon as I am able to figure out how to continue business and transfer characters, I will compensate you in kind with what you originally purchased. I ask for some patience, and I'll get it sorted. I can't really handle the amount of cash that it would be to totally refund everyone that had this issue and I don't think I should be held to that standard as it clearly states on my return policy:

Returns are processed on a case by case basis. Refunds are neither expressed nor implied. Returns will be processed as needed in a timely manner depending on method of payment. Refund is guaranteed if account is recalled. We do not cover any action that Blizzard takes as a result of any activity in game, or any violation of their terms of service. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.


I do not have control over what actions Blizzard takes, and everyone that purchases an account realizes that they are breaking the TOS and that this is a consequence. I go to extreme lengths to try and keep this sort of thing from happening and when it has periodically in the past I've done what I could to both get accounts back open and running as well as compensate people to the best of my ability when things go awry. Given a little time, I'll find you new characters and things will return to normal in WOW land. I think this is a lot better than any customer service that you would find on competitor sites in case of Blizzard action, (as I've NEVER heard of any site that compensates you for blizzard action) and ask that you bear with me while I figure out both the problem and a way to fix it and move on.



Thanks guys. Understand I want to make everyone happy, but I can't just refund 10 days worth of business without finding out what the problem is, and how to fix it and move on, especially for something that is out of my hands.
 
is it possible that the throwaway credit cards you used to initiate the transfer did not match the first and last name on the account? (or the credit card name did not match the first and last name used to open the account)?

i believe a certain account retailers such as KCJ, Kevs etc... at one point suffered this problem until they used the paypal plugin to create a matching throwaway ID with the same registered first and last name on the account.

this way, there is no suspicion when transfering. i understand that you are more experienced than me at this, but i am just raising my opinion : ) after all, i have been denied email reset over the phone of account change because the blizzard billing phone representative stated that my credit card information used to subscribe for the account did not match the registered names.

i wonder... has blizzard begun to brighten up?

The account I bought from Chad got banned. I thought it was a perma ban but Chad had all the information and was able to get my account back.

Perfect as always, wish I could buy more things from him, always the best.

Can you elaborate on what the issue was? Has me a bit concerned as a frequent account buyer/seller.

"Blizzard looking harder at account to account transfers I believe."

meaning that blizzard is now more aware of account transfers (when you purchase an account) and will flag transfers and purchases made with a credit card if the name does not match the registered first and last name on the account.

chadwick575 is a professional retailer, thus, the issue has been rectified easily. so do not worry.

Thanks Bones. One more question, is this just for transferring from one account to another or are they also flagging character transfers to a new server if the CC name does not match account name?
 
Thanks Chadwick, your honesty and effort are appreciated. Same thing happened to my account I got from Chadwick and he was more the helpful in trying to rectify it. Patience is a virtue for BOTH parties when trading.
 
Probably not, as you see Chad had some problems doing it that way...
 
Any ideas what to do about this that you could PM about. My email was the same on both of my accounts, but I used another CC holder on the transfer. It was done less than 10 days ago. I did not purchase from Chadwick but he is having the same problems as me so I figured I'd ask in the thread rather than starting a whole new thread.

I think mine may have been recalled because I can no longer login to the original account and I have no email about any changes in the mail. It just says login/password incorrect when I login the site. The character in question was purchased and moved to a separate account. Could I be suffering from the same problem as you all, or could mine be a account recovery problem?

**Again I did not purchase from Chadwick, I am just having the same problem**
 
alrighty : ) we have seen this thread come up and down and up and down several times. unless new findings and solutions are brought to light, lets let it die in grace.
