I read through this thread and have not noticed anyone talking about their luck selling an account to Gamepal.com so I thought I'd add my two cents.
I decided to sell my wow account cuz I was hurting for cash. Their site said they would pay for the account within 72 hours via paypal, so I went for
it.
Their website says that after finishing filling in the account information this will happen:
After you have finished with this page, you will be sent an offer. The page with the offer, just fill out the information, and submit it, and you
should receive your payment within a few hours. Please be patient during this process as some payments can take more then a few hours, but if you
submitted your information, then we got it, and we will check your information as fast as we can.
They sent me an email:
This email is to confirm that we've received your account submission and are ready to offer you $880.19 for your account at this time. Your account
submission ID is XXXXXXXX, please keep this number for your records. If you'd like to accept this offer, simply fill out the acceptation form

I accepted the offer (yes, at 2:30 in the morning) and received another email:

After waiting the prescribed 72 hours without seeing any money show up on my paypal account I decided to try out their live support. It appeared that
the live support wasn't actually live because after entering my email address it just sent me 3 automated replies only one of which had anything to
do with what I wanted. I decided that perhaps it would be better to send them an email so I sent one inquiring:
This question concerns:
Account Submission ID: XXXXXXXX
Account name: <account name>@<email>.com
PayPal Email: <emailname>@<email>.com
My question is regarding the payment for the account. I accepted the offer presented by gamepal.com and submitted my account information. I have not,
however, received payment for the account on my paypal account. I've checked the spellings for things that were submitted and everything appears to
be in order. I was wondering if someone could contact me since it has been more than 72 hours. Thanks, <disgruntled customer>
My reply came almost immediately in the form of the same 3 automatically generated emails that had almost nothing to do with what I asked about.
Basically they were redundant with the website's FAQ which I had perused prior to even sending the email. The one that was MOST relevant I have
pasted below:
Greetings,
Thank you for contacting our support team! We have received your email response! Thank you. I will be glad to assist you with your order.
Current Orders
If You Already Have Submitted Your Account To Us, Please Read Below.
If you wish to view your order status on your account submission, please register to the website before you submit and track your submission status
from your control panel.
Please remain patient on your so an agent can check your submission. Normally the process may take up to 72 hours, but on extreme cases, you may
experience delay times up to a week. Don't worry, we will NEVER touch your account until an agent verifys the account, and issues a payment. If you
are waiting for more than a week, this may mean that we did not receive your information, we are not interested in purchasing your character or there
may have been a technical issue. Please note, we are actively purchasing characters, but we do occasionally deny specific accounts as we cannot sell
them due to overstock.
General Information
Information On Selling, Trading, or Exchanging Your Account.
If you wish to trade or exchange your account with us, please go to our "Sell Account" option on our website, and submit a quote to receive a gift
certificate quote which you can use to exchange for a new account.
Please select the appropriate game name on the left hand side bar and click the link that says "Sell Your Account". You will be presented with a
page that asks you for general information about your account. This is an important step, filling in as much information as you can with accurate
information will result in a better price and leaving things blank to move forward faster. After you have finished with this page, you will be sent an
offer. The page with the offer, just fill out the information, and submit it, and you should receive your payment within a few hours. Please be
patient during this process as some payments can take more then a few hours, but if you submitted your information, then we got it, and we will check
your information as fast as we can.
Security In Selling To Us
If you need general information on how we sell and trade accounts, please read below.
Most companies require information up front before you receive the cash. The reason is because before when we paid the individual first, over 90% of
them never delivered the account. We require the account information first before we send payment to verify the information. During this time, we will
not change the password until we are ready to purchase, and pay for the account.
When deciding what to do when selling your account, you must decide the best way to sell it. You can either wait around, and 2 to 3 months later you
sell it. A lot of sites offer guarantees on payments, but are completely bogus scams. Some companies actually login to your account, and farm with it,
banning it, and then never pay for it. Others login with Chinese Ips, few hours later they get banned or a few days later and either don't pay you or
try to reclaim the payment they sent you. You should never rent, list, or do consignment with any company as these are all fraud, and scams. These are
known issues, and this is where we come in.
Our site is one of a kind. We are solely based in the United States, and adapt our cultural of understanding that when you sell a product, you want to
get it over without any hassles and drama from your buyer. That is why our site is straight forward, we offer instant quotes, and provide you with a
fill form after you receive your quote. Once you fill it in, you're done, no more work is required, and you can just sit back, let us verify your
account.
Request New Bid, Better Price, or Higher Quote
All offers are non-negotiable and only available through a web page submission. If you feel the offer was less than you think it should be, you may
resubmit your account with more detailed information and that may alter the price you are offered. Filling out each blank with the appropriate
information will increase the price, please do not neglect to do this if you are looking for a higher offer, but make sure the information is accurate
because if we check it and it is incorrect you stand a good chance of getting your offer denied.
Advanced System Automation Quote Database
With over three years put into our automated quote system, we can safely say this is the most automated quote system for accounts in our industry.
Every word, and every field you fill out will change the price offer on your account submission. So if you do not agree with the price we gave, simply
resubmit or try again at a later time as we change our prices every day based on supply and demand.
Payment To You
Payments usually occur within 1 to 72 hours. On some cases, they can extend to as much as a week, but usually on rare cases. If we sent a notice to
you to update your information, please allow extended time so an agent can review your account.
In terms of payment methods, we offer multiple different types of payment methods. For good customers with over 2 years history with us, or have
several transactions processed with us, we will make an exception an issue payment by MoneyBookers, Western Union, or Corporate Check. If you are a
new customer, the only method we send payment from is by PayPal.
Trade Your Account Information
If you wish to trade or exchange your account with us, please go to our "Sell Account" option on our website, and submit a quote to receive a gift
certificate quote which you can use to exchange for a new account.

Support Tech Agent
Okay so pretty much the only thing in that that I want to draw your attention to is that under the "Payment to You" section it adds that in "rare
cases" payment can take up to a week. I continued waiting and I'm currently 17 hours from the one week deadline, assuming that I was just a rare
case. However it also mentions them contacting me, which DIDN'T happen, so I'm not sure how this will pan out. My friends and family are telling me
to call Blizzard and report my account has been stolen, but I'm holding out to see what happens.
