so when I set out wow tokens today for sale on AH, they were worth 381k yet now that I check how much sales are for tokens its 300k, will my tokens just sit there? I can’t even cancel them and revert them into bnet credit.
You should get the gold that it was worth when you listed it.

They may sit there for up to 14 days.
WoW tokens will be sold in the order they are put up. If in the meantime the token price changes, the quoted price you put it up for will be the amount you receive and Blizzard will front the difference.
but will it be sold as first sale comes first or do they go for the cheaper gold first? I would hate for it to sit 14 days, I would rather be able to cancel them and revert them into bnet credit.
since when putting it up for auction it states 2-12 hour…one would think that after 12 hrs the seller would be able to cancel and put it at cheaper price, or revert back to bnet
I found the answer to my second question, they are listed at sell price lowest first…just checked and would I buy a token now its 302k, so I am locked waiting for the 14 days to go by which is insane cause thats like locking (it was 5 tokens) 100 euros for 2 weeks for someone. enable the cancel please then
They don’t sell like regular AH items, they sell in the order they were put up regardless of the price, however they will be sold to the buyer cheapest first.
If you put your 400k token in the queue at position 9, and by the time you’re in position 1, the tokens are worth 100k, the buyer pays 100k but you still get 400k.

so yeah I am screwed basically having bought 5 tokens thats gonna sit like uselessness for 2 week then?
Not really, as you don’t know how many people listed their tokens before you, nor how many people are buying.
Most tokens sell within 2 days, but Blizzard say 14 to cover themselves.
The price it sells for, is not the amount the seller recieves, as it’s based on their queue position, as such previous sales are not a good indicator of when yours will sell.
To give a better example:
Person A B and C list 1 token each, in the order A first B second C third.
A B and C all list their tokens at 200k.
After As token sells and he gets his 200k, D lists a token at 150k.
B and Cs tokens will still sell first, but B and C will cost the buyer the same 150k as D, but the seller will still get 200k.
Next time just send the money directly to Blizzard’s bank account. It’s faster that way.
I did, as I bought the 100 euros on bnet crediot to start with and thought I would get good gold (not the insane amount of 381k as it was listed as), did not expect the things to be unsellable 
I hope this makes it a bit clearer, that said, with the massively inflated token price right now, many gold makers might not buy tokens until the price calms down.
thank you it does help , I HOPE that my tokens will sell.
Wait what? Blizzard is actuality minting out money like that?
They have to, because at the time of the purchase of the token, they agreed to provide that value in in-game currency, to fail to do so would violate most consumer law.
Mhm, because they chose a structure that would only enable players to either buy or sell their tokens. It’s meant to prevent speculation.
I’m quite sure overall it is not really a giant dent on the Gold Generator + every legally bought WoW token = less illegal gold bought so it’s a win-win for all good people involved.
Your proposed solution would enable speculation within a time set of 12 hours. It would not solve anything, only increase the volatility of the WoW token and cause additional problems which has been closed off in the early WoW token design.
I understand you’re upset that your token is selling slower then usual, but it will be sold eventually at the quoted price.
You may still give them feedback through the ingame box about this but its not likely going to change.
easy solution to that…to prevent speculation set a time (2-12hrs) if its not sold after 12 hrs, let the seller cancel the sale.
I am not upset, I just think 14 days is FAR to much to wait for refund.
also by that logic that it will sell eventually…can I get game time and pay “eventually”? after all it is 100 euros worth of bnet credit, which is equal to money thats on the line, its a 2 way street no?
I don’t think you need to worry, a few people in my guilds buy tokens and within a couple of days they get their money.
That said, it’s hard to justify buying tokens with gold right now, as the price has ballooned.
Sadly not as terms are usually dictated by the seller.
If I walk in to a supermarket and ask for some bread, they will want to be paid today, they won’t accept “I am getting some money at the end of the month” as they can just give the bread to the next guy who has his €5 in his hand.
I think the solution is quite simple, either give the seller the option to cancel the sale or strictly go by who sold first gets the sale, not who sells it cheaper gets the sale first.
This is exactly what happens though, as per my example, all that change is what the buyer pays, the seller gets what they were promised, and in the correct order.
from your keys to Blizzard ears, hope hope
