Selling Off A Guilty Pleasure With BuyMMOAccounts.com
Posted on: April 6, 2009 by Matt
I normally keep my own guilty pleasures fairly quiet but for a long time I enjoyed playing World Of Warcraft to pass the time. I played the game for about two and a half years and finally started to drift from enjoying the game and found that I had largely lost interest. A few months ago I closed my account and waved goodbye to the MMO scene. I had not been playing much in the past 8 months or so as I had just been too busy with my girlfriend and the kids and I had no intention of continuing to pay for a service I was not using.
Instead of opting to leave my old characters sitting out there for eternity I opted to look into selling off my account which is when I stumbled onto BuyMMOAccounts.com. The site allows people to buy and / or sell World Of Warcraft accounts as well as purchase World Of Warcraft game cards. The only service that I used was the selling of my account as I was no longer looking to play the game.
The process was pretty straight forward. I submitted my character information and registered for an account. Within the next day I received a quote for purchase of my account for $80 (it would have been about $30 higher but my account was inactive). I then agreed to the sale, sent in the contract and confirmed that I was indeed who I said I was via a verification phone call. The process took me the better part of a week but this is unusually long for their service.
My problem was that I had attempted to fax the contract back in but the fax machine on their end was not picking up. After a couple of failed attempts I called in to customer service – which was very helpful – and was informed that both lines are tied to fax and phone. Since I was having trouble with the listed fax number then I could try the main support phone number – this worked perfectly.
Upon receiving my contract the company then placed a verification phone call to the number I provided. I missed the first call but they also emailed and said that they would like to try to call again and allowed me to set a time. I spoke with support again the following day and within 15 minutes of wrapping up the phone call I had the $80 deposited to my PayPal account. It all worked very smoothly!
All said and done – I was fairly impressed by how well the service worked for me and would definitely use BuyMMOAccounts.com again if I had another account to sell.
