Game Account Trading/Selling
Too many people are trying to sell accounts and other virtual objects, which is almost always a breach of the Terms of Use/Rules. Use this guide to see if your account is prohibited from trading.

Please note: Sale of Toribash accounts is strictly prohibited. Any threads in Market selling accounts will be deleted, you will be banned and the account that has been offered for trade will be banned PERMANENTLY.

Blizzard does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual property executed outside of the Game, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in the Game. Accordingly, you may not sell in-game items or currency for "real" money, or exchange those items or currency for value outside of the Game.

Tibia:
Rule 3f) Account Trading or SharingOffering account data to other players or accepting other players' account data.
Comment

Account trading:
You are not allowed to sell your own account or to give it away for free. Vice versa, you must not buy another players' account or accept their account data. This also includes not to accept or give away accounts as a present. Each account is assigned to one person only and this person may not pass on the account to somebody else. Statements like, e.g. "I'm selling a level 30 knight", "I trade my sorcerer on Antica for a sorcerer on Nova" or "I'm buying a paladin" - whether in the game or on a website - will lead to a punishment of your account. The same is true for a comment like "New Owner" on your account or character information.

Account sharing:
Moreover, an account should always be used by one person only. Only the person that created an account is allowed to use it. It is unfair towards other players if a group of several people shares one character to be online 24 hours a day. Sharing your account data with another person is not only against the rules, but also a high security risk for your account. It is actually one of the most wide-spread reasons why a player loses his account. What if you suddenly got into a serious argument with a person that you consider your friend and who you are sharing your account with? Or what if one of your friends suddenly decides that he would like to play your shared character alone and takes over your account before you can react? Account sharing is not worth the risk, which is why you should never do it. Besides, it can as well lead to an account punishment.

If the merchant attempts to process the Gift Card for more than the available funds, the transaction will be declined. You may confirm your available balance or transactions 24 hours a day, seven days a week at www.giftcards.com or by calling us toll free at 1-877-944-3822. You may only use your Gift Card in the manner and for the purposes described in these Terms and Conditions. Some merchants, including most restaurants and service establishments, have a policy of authorizing an amount up to 25% or more than your total purchase in order to cover any outstanding tip or gratuity that you may add to your purchase. The entire amount of these authorizations may remain unavailable on your Card for an average of eight (8) days and up to thirty (30) days. However, only the amount authorized by you will actually be deducted from the value of the Card. Any transaction attempted that exceeds the actual value of the Card will be declined, and you may be asked to provide an additional form of payment in order to cover the remainder of the transaction and/or gratuity. Your Card may not be used for illegal transactions or for any type of pre-authorized transaction such as recurring monthly payments, dues or fees, or installment payments.

Also, you may not resell any gift codes or licence keys - but of course you can give gift codes as gifts. This is necessary so that we can help stop piracy and fraud - and especially users buying keys that have been fraudulently obtained.

These are just some of the accounts that have popped up for sale here at one time or another.
If you have any questions about other games or sites, post here and I will find the answer.

Cheers.
