If you're thinking of buying Warcraft gold then this article is for you. Here are five points to consider to keep your account safe and make sure you have a smooth purchasing experience: 

Many people believe that Chinese gold sellers are the only option in the market - THINK AGAIN! There are plenty of gold sellers based in the USA, Europe and Australia, offering the same prices as their rivals in China. 

Why avoid China? Buying Warcraft gold from a Chinese seller leaves you vulnerable to fraud, non-delivery and mass e-mail spam in future. You will also be unable to claim a refund or complain if things don't go well (unless you have a good Chinese lawyers). 

Using a credit card to buy Warcraft gold allows you to be completely protected from Internet fraud and non-delivery. If you experience any problems with you order you can simply contact your credit card provider and issue a payment reversal. This is not possible if paying via debit card, Paypal balance or Western Union. 

The are two main services available for you to check a seller's reputation. We suggest visiting one or both of these before making a purchase:

MMOBux : An independent site/forum that compares gold selling companies through a user-driven community.

BizRate - World's largest customer review site that is used by 90% of gold sellers to accommodate customer feedback. Watch out for sites fraudulently posting BizRate awards on their site (if it doesn't link to BizRate, it's not real).

The quality of a seller's customer support will tell you a lot about what you can expect from them. Click the "Live Chat" or "Live Support" icon and ask them some questions. You'll quickly find out whether their support is outsourced to Asia or taken care of in-house, and a whole lot more! 

Here's an example; compare MOGS.com (Ohio, USA) to THSale.com (Anhui, China). It's no surprise that MOGS, who offer in-house US-based customer support, are much higher ranked at MMOBux and BizRate than THSale, whose customer support is in China. This is proof that the quality of customer support will tell you a lot about the company you're about to deal with.

It's very tempting to make your purchasing decision based on price, but when buying Warcraft gold that is a big mistake! Fraudulent companies will always under-cut the prices of legitimate sellers in order to pick up these kind of orders.

Rather than trying to save a few cents on your order, make your purchasing decision based on the factors above and you'll be guaranteed a safe and pleasant purchasing experience.

If you follow these five steps you are sure to have a safe and pleasant purchasing experience, and be able to enjoy the benefits of all that wonderful Warcraft gold.

Good luck with your purchase!
