Ok, well I just sold the account on which my paladin has been banned for nearly 3 months for $165. I decided I might as well show the mmowned community my scam, and so here I am!
First step: Get your banned accounts info, you must have all of it for this to work.
Second Step: Find a target site to sell your account to, such as THSale, which I did this scam with.
Third Step: Go to "Sell accounts" and put in the banned characters information.
Fourth Step: Enter Live Chat with one of the company reps, and the fun begins.
This is the copy / pasted chat in which I "get them gold companies good"

Sure enough, a couple hours later I had the cash in my paypal and I am home free I am now gonna use all this cash to go buy gold for one of my other 70s for an epic flyer
PS. I took out a part in the middle with my email, name, address, stuff like that.

I swear I saw this already and posted in it.
The guy is just dumb. I believe this won't work with most people. Your "story" has flaws ( if the account is inactive for a while how come the 72 hour ban is still active?! ), plus you keep asking for the cash (like most impatient scammers do).
Dunno when you did this, but they will probably do a chargeback soon. Meanwhile try to spend all the cash on gold companies while the cash is not frozen.
I guess it would take you a while for this but Its believeable and doable so yeah .
but nothing really new here ...
