I accidentally sold an item for Battlenet bucks instead of Paypal and was wondering what the best way to get the money out was. Thanks.

your friend puts item up on RMAH for your balance
you buy it
he transfers money from his paypal to your paypal



buy game
sell cd key



buy RMAH gold
sell RMAH gold

The best way is to buy gold in the morning. That way you can get gold roughly ~$1.00 vs $1.50 during the day. Then you can sell gold for $1.30 - fees ~$1.xx dollars. You even receive a profit. :]

Aurati, here's some math. Math is fun.

Let's assume you buy 100 units of $1 gold. That will cost you $100 flat but you are going to get 85 million of it due to the 15% fee.

In order for that to be profitable to resell, you would have to sell 100,000,000 gold back on the RMAH for AT LEAST $1.43 to break even.

if you sell 100M gold @ 1.30, you are going to get $90.90 back after all the fees are subtracted so you just lost $9.10 in addition to the extra 15 million gold you had to come up with.


@ $1.43 per million you'll make $143.00 off the deal but you'll only see $100.02 of it.
@ $1.42 per million you'll make $142.00 off the deal but you'll only see $99.32 of it.

@ $1.50 per million? $104.93.

Don't bother reselling gold unless you can get it hella cheap.

But if you got gold @ .50c/million, you'd get all 100 million of it and then you could sell it for booku bucks.

So $50 for 100 [email protected], resell on RMAH for $1.30 = $90.90-$50 = $40.90 in profit!

Farm gear and RMAH it or third party your gold and resell.
