I was about to sell this feldrake on a server... and I needed the money badly. The guy said he'd had reputation for successful trades and I believed him. He said he wanted me to give him the mount first, and I was a bit sketched out at first... but I needed the money. Badly. I give in and give the mount to him, as soon as he receives it he signs off and blocks me from Skype.

As for my mount that I lost... Does anyone know how I can get it back? I really need money in real life and I was hoping to use that to sell.

unfortunately no =[

i got scammed 700K like this a while back and i ticketed blizz and made an excuses saying i was trading 700k on this server to receive 700k on another making the trade look legit.

There reply said i was trading gold to a gold farmer/seller and my account has been suspended for 72 hours and any further breaches will mean a ban of my wow license.

Sorry to hear that you really needed the money in real life.

Ah, okay ... Thanks anyways. And wow, 700k is a lot to lose

I could be wrong, but getting into the pet market might help you.

I was super skeeved out by some of the reports re: one of the popular alternatives to Ebay.
However it might be better than nothing.

For example if you list pets or something similarly valuable on a site like PA.
I can't vouch for them but to make IRL money it might be safer to "test the waters" on a paid site like that,
a bit at a time, rather than lose all on a larger item like Thistle Tea or a Drake.

Back in the day I thought losing 4000g was bad, or having late payment for 40k.

nowadays the horror stories of trading make lots of former traders think twice.


i heard the AU players are a lot happier due to more relaxed property laws etc.
in USA it's much harder to make a living selling virtual goods because blizzard is allowed its monopoly on our work.

food for thought...
some people here should lobby congress lol

[Cheengle]

I contacted blizzard saying I was scammed ... They said it was a crafted item and could not be refunded, never. Oh my ....

Be carefull on your future trades, specially when it comes to big money, check their history,posts, or just use a middleman! You can't get back your feldrake

Did you really think that somebody would pay $230 for a feldrake when the mount is constantly available for ~55k at that server ?


Edit: Sorry for that necro =/.
