I am trying to figure out why they are soulbound. This might necessitate, for reliability reasons, to buy them with a char of max. level 20 where you need to have the gold concentrated, otherwise you’d have to use the evenly-autocollect-from-all-chars method.
This seems unnecessarily clumy and restrictive.
And why do you need to transfer the token from character to character if you can only use it to activate gametime or sell it for Golds that can be sent to another character anyway?

I had the exact same thought. Feels like it’s a very random and nonsensical issue.

One reason you might want to move them is to delete a character. Can’t just add them to your Battle.net balance if it’s full but you might want to save them for monthly subs anyway.
I think the OP has a fair point, should be able to mail them to yourself. It’s rare issue and probably won’t affect most people but it something that could be fixed without any negatives.

Wait, that can happen?
As soon as 20 euro appears on mine it dissapears 
You cant send gold to another fraction or realm(
What about using gold to purchase a token and then convert to Bnet balance and sell a token with your other char? 
You lose out a lot in that exchange. Buying a token is £17. Using a token gives you £10.
It’s why Blizz loves people that buy tokens with gold lol. They make 70% more per month from those players when someone else pays for their sub. It’s kinda genius.

why cant u trade wow token imagon be avable to trade them with other players even better idea 
I am talking about the tokens bought from the AH. They are soulbound and non-re-auctionable. So you are stuck with them on the char(s) that you manage to condense enough gold on. If your gametime expires and you didn’t buy it on a max. level 20 char, you are kinda screwed.
You literally can. I guess there is no ban for making an auction post of some nonusable - nonvalue item for a big price of gold on cross auction in Dalaran and buying those on a character with gold while you sell that for that price of the amount of your gold…but now i don’t remember if it’s still possible and works.
IIRC Dalaran was never cross-faction, and the actual ones are probably normalized now because the regular AH is cross-faction now. (In addition to be inclusive of most realms, seemingly only limited by realm type.)
But you cannot buy something from the AH that you listed from the other faction on your own account. It would only work between accounts.
What can still be a feasible albeit complicated method is to use battle pets for values transfer. You can just take them from your collection on either faction and put them on the AH or try to sell in trade chat (semi-joke). I made some starter funds on new realms that way. (But those distributed funds also bother me because that’s gold not usable for tokens or anything else on a main realm.)
Generally I am wondering whether the prohibition of sending gold to your own characters of the other faction and/or on other realms still makes any sense. Seems to me that by now that should have been removed, considering how merged everything is.
Little side note: Queen’s Conservatory souls (e.g. from missions) are not BoA. Seems alting-unfriendly.
I don’t think you can do that anymore. I used the same trick to “transfer” gold from an ally to a horde character using the neutral AH in Booty Bay sometime pre-wrath, but now I think you are unable to place bids on items that has been listed from the same account.

Better say “Alli”. A Horde can be an ally, too.
Stupid naming choice with lots of confusion potential. Orcs and trolls are in an alliance, too, just not THE Alliance. the Horde itself is one big alliance. (And surely the Alliance can be one big horde if riled up enough.)
Same reason next to nothing is truly account bound.
Blizzard said so.
Still mad at losing 18 years of account wide stuff that isn’t actually account wide or my EU account would have it because they’re on the same battlenet account.
And I know they can do it, my windsteed just became account wide, and my hearthsteed and Daisy were, too. They just don’t want to.
But yeah, it’s the same thing. Reasons. They’re not going to tell us.
