I dont know if this has been posted before, i havn't come across it myself; so if this is a repost let me know and i will delete it
it's also my first attempt at a post so try and keep the flaming to a minimum if possible :P
Okay, so basically for this scam (well its not really a scam, but it belongs in this section) it requires a character of any level as long as it has access to an Auction House and a tiny amount of money
Basically, gold sellers on various websites make their transfers through Auction house by putting up a cheap item such as Wool cloth, grey weapons and armour, with a buy out price of say XXXXX gold
For an example, lets say one of these sellers has an Wool cloth for the price of 10,000g, and the character name is Dougall. Use your character with easy AH access to browse the AH for one of these gold selling items, and take special note with the characters name
Now create a new character, with a name very similar, by using either accented letters to replace one letter (Dougall -> Dòugall) just as an example
If you are struggling to find out how to use accentuated letters, type into google 'Windows Alt Key Codes' (seeing as this is my first post i cant post links.. APPARENTLY)
Or if your'e too lazy, just rephrase the name to make it look similar (Dougall -> Dougal)
Anyway, get this newly created character to an Auction House, get some cash from your main, and buy some Wool Cloth similar to the gold sellers item. Put the wool cloth on the auction house for the same amount of gold as the gold sellers
and if your lucky, the gold buyer/seller will buy the wrong product, a.k.a - yours
ive sucessfully gained literally tens of thousands of gold from this
the plus side is that there is no chance of getting banned what so ever
only downside is that sometimes it is hard finding a gold seller selling an item on your servers auction house
