DO NOT FALL FOR ACCOUNT TRADING SCAMMERS!

I wouldn't say Not a single company- some MMOs are fine with account transfers.

But yeah, generally risky on all counts.

I only get people wanting me to sell them accounts. Yeah, I'm going to sell you an account so you can steal my business (speaking of, **** the twats that already did this for some of them, I've gone from 50 orders a day minimum to more than a week between bulks).

THIS IS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL

No it isnt. A minor semantic point, but a very important one. Illegal means its against a law. Violation of a EULA/Contract is a civil matter, between the parties involved.

Not a single company allows the trading or selling

Also not true. Ive seen some MMOs and services even offer a trade escrow service of sorts to allow a smooth transition.

"THIS IS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL AND ONE OF THE MOST COMMON SCAMS IN TRADING."

Not illegal in ANY countries.

Which is why no company has ever successfully prosecuted someone for a selling a perfectly legal account.

Terms and conditions of usage NEVER trump laws.

In fact many terms and conditions are completely unenforceable from a legal perspective, even if the end-user accepts them.

it's steamgifts, not steamtrades. :3

and if someone is stupid enough to buy a steam account... well, they really deserve to get their account stolen later. just don't play with fire.

btw, it's surely illegal on steam since they will ban you. no need to discuss the definition of the word outside their system, we all know what would happen on their platform.

Well damn, I did not know I could go to jail just passing my account onto a sibling once I grew out of it.

Haha, well, I see people trading and selling accounts on forums on local sites daily but that is usually an account with one game (CS:GO since it is an e-sport site) with some free tosh. I imagine getting a decent deal for an account with couple of hundreds of games is much harder, as such I do not see a point of such trades.

But certainly be vary of scammers anytime, everywhere.

Ok ok let's make an here example: I live idk let's see England for example I"ll take a trip to New York and then to Miami and then to Puerto Rico for a couple of months or maybe some years and then come back to my country. I"ll get banned for that as well? "Not talking about selling my account to anyone"

As most people above pointed out, "illegal" is quite a big word. You can get banned from a service (more or less rightfully, that depends on your local laws), but you won't certainly end up locked in jail.

Just want to remind people that Illegal is not just "forbidden by law, especially criminal law".
The definition is actually. Illegal : "contrary to or forbidden by law, especially criminal law".

In THIS case/thread the context involved is for "contrary to". Which means to "go against". An expression of going against what is right or allowed.

Hopefully that clears it up for you guys thinking on its other meaning.

I think it's a stretch to say that not a single company allows trading of accounts.
I played a mmo where you could buy and sell accounts legally and a staff member would oversee the trade for a fee.
