How safe is buying gold?

[sky_dragon]

I hear about people getting banned for a day and having the gold removed from their account. Is this common or rare? How do they found out and how do you know if a seller is trustworthy?

just dont buy gold, and do not buy from a massseller, means, someone who sell daily to 10 people +

if u rly want to buy "gold" then find a private person and just purchase items, like ectos, preq. etc

i did purchased about 2k gold in items already, and always the seller wrote a text that i won it from a quiz or something like that, nd nothing happend..

and on that time i had about 2k AP, so it was a nearly new acc ^^

Buying gold directly gets you banned about 99 percent of the time, just don't do it. Gold movement/ transactions ingame are tracked very thoroughly by arenanet.

It is pretty safe if you don't go for the fastest cheapest solution, usually.

how much gold for one of two expansion so if i have the gold to trade for code

I always buy Gem Cards 2000Gems = 15-17€ = 380 - 400gold and its safe.

I know buying gold for around 100g/3€ is much more (like 550-680g) and therefore cheaper, but also unsafe if you have high end account :P
