Selling gold is not selling an account, and the marketplaces that treat it as
one are the reason gold sellers end up in Discord. An account is a single
object with a single price. Gold is a quantity: the buyer wants 50,000, you
have 3 million, and the price that matters is the price of a thousand. Every
serious currency marketplace prices per unit for that reason, and so do we.
This is a guide for the seller. If you have never listed anything here, the
application is at /sell/apply?offer=currency and
takes a few minutes.
When you create a currency listing you set three numbers, and none of them is
the price of your whole stack:
- The unit — how much gold one unit is. A thousand is the convention on
retail servers; on servers where gold is cheap, sellers use ten thousand or a
million. Pick the number buyers in your realm actually quote.
- The stock — how many units you have. This is what the storefront counts,
so it is also what tells a buyer whether you can fill a large order.
- The minimum order — the smallest number of units you are willing to hand
over. A trade is a trip to a mailbox or a meeting spot; if five hundred gold
is not worth the walk, say so here rather than cancelling later.
The buyer then chooses a quantity and the total is computed from your unit
price. There is no bulk discount ladder in this version: one unit price, the
same for the first unit and the thousandth. That is deliberate — a discount
tier that the fee code does not know about is the fastest way to make a payout
wrong by a few cents per order, which is the sort of error nobody notices for
months.
You receive exactly the price you set. Not the price minus a percentage, not
the price minus a transaction fee, not the price minus a withdrawal charge.
There is no listing fee, no monthly fee and no seller rank that unlocks a
better rate later.
That is worth stating plainly because the rest of the market does not work that
way. Eldorado takes 10% on accounts. GameBoost publishes 15% plus a fixed
charge per transaction on its items category. FunPay's liquidity in Russia is
real but its mechanics are a listing title and a chat. The honest comparison
for a seller is not "who has the nicest site" but "what lands in my balance for
a given price on the storefront", and that is the number we chose not to touch.
Currency is handed over by you, in game. Nothing is automated, and nothing
should be — a bot that logs into your character is a far larger risk than a
mailbox trip.
- The buyer pays. The money goes into escrow, not to you and not to us.
- The order appears in your seller cabinet at
/seller/orders, with the quantity, the realm and the
character name the buyer gave.
- You meet the buyer or send the mail, and mark the order delivered on that
page.
- The buyer confirms. Your share moves to hold.
- It sits on hold until the warranty window ends, then it goes to your
balance.
The hold is the part sellers ask about most, so: it is not a fee and it is not
us holding your money for the float. It is what makes the buyer willing to pay
a stranger before receiving anything. Without it you are back in Discord asking
for payment first, which is exactly the trade most buyers refuse.
Buyers of gold filter on things that decide whether the trade can happen at
all, and a listing that leaves them out will be skipped even when it is the
cheapest:
- Realm and faction. Gold does not cross either. A listing that omits the
realm is unbuyable for everyone who reads it carefully and a cancelled order
for everyone who does not.
- Retail or Classic, and which Classic. They are different economies with
different prices, and mixing them up wastes both sides' time.
- How you hand over — mailbox, trade, or an auction-house buyout you
arrange together. Say which, so the buyer knows whether they need to be
online.
- When you are available. A currency order is a meeting. "Evenings, EU
time" on the listing prevents the order that sits unanswered for a day.
Blizzard's terms forbid selling gold, and enforcement lands on the accounts
involved, not on the marketplace. That is the seller's risk and it does not go
away because the payment was escrowed. What escrow changes is the other risk —
the one where you hand over the gold and the buyer disappears, or pays and then
claims they never received it. Those are the two failures that made gold
trading a Discord business, and they are the two this fixes.
Price accordingly, keep the trades small enough that a single loss does not
hurt, and do not move an amount you would not be willing to lose to a
rollback.
Apply once at /sell/apply?offer=currency. Every
new listing goes through moderation before it reaches the storefront — usually
quickly, and the check is about the listing being accurate, not about you
proving anything. After that you set your unit, your stock and your minimum,
and edit them as your supply moves.
