Blizzard cancelled the transaction, deleted all of the cubs from my inventory (I bought 20) and sent me a GM email saying I was using my account for explotative activity of the economy. Funny thing is they said my account is now banned (which it isnt) too. I messaged them three times trying to figure out what happened but they insisted they were in the right and my account is now banned.

Did I miss the memo from them where we are not allowed to sell these on the AH at all? Ive been looking but havent seen one.

This is from the QnA on the pet store site....


Q: Could I put the Guardian Cub up on the auction house to try to make some gold if I wanted to?

While our goal is to offer players alternative ways to add a Pet Store pet to their collection, we?re ok with it if some players choose to use the Guardian Cub as a safe and secure way to try to acquire a little extra in-game gold without turning to third-party gold-selling services. However, please keep in mind that there's never any guarantee that someone will purchase what you put up for sale in the auction house, or how much they'll pay for it. Also, it?s important to note that we take a firm stance against buying gold from outside sources because in most cases, the gold these companies offer has been stolen from compromised accounts. (You can read more about our stance here, or you can read our recent blog post on teh subject here.) While some players might be able to acquire some extra gold by putting the Guardian Cub in the auction house, that?s preferable to players contributing to the gold-selling ?black market? and account theft.


You need to get them on the phone bro.

I think the key here is the huge number he bought (20) basically flagging himself as a gold seller. If he had bought one or two, sold them and then bought a couple more he would probably sailed under the Blizzard radar.

Blizzard has some sort of program that will auto ban accounts if certain "exploitative" things occur. If you phone in a call and explain what happened, they will forward the info onto someone higher up and they should unban your account . . in like a day

Yeah. I bought 20 last week and did the same though...


I guess they flagged me as Chinese or something.

You can see why they might be a little trigger happy in blocking you though, I would hope.

Clear this up, you bought twenty for cash or twenty for gold with intent to sell later?

If the first and your were banned I would reverse the charges now let alone be screaming at them for the idiocy, if the later I would protest the suspension over and over.
