Selling codes is against the EULA and puts accounts at extreme risk due to your knowledge of an account used code and ability to attempt social engineering with customer support to steal accounts.
Redeem the code on your account and /bonus on a pre character. You can then trade the unopened present in game in a trade window with other players.

The sales of character name threads are becoming horribly annoying as well as disgusting, and I'm pretty sure many are uncertain as to where this is all leading to due to a 'trusted trade mod' shutting shop, so let's have a poll.
Legacy isn't encouraging. I think you should rephrase to "allow" instead of "encourage".

Failing to transfer names that had XXXXa bids on them after being super confident that you have secure methods in place and then gatekeeping the "safe method" as a trade secret is certainly a choice
Thanks for your input.
Feel free to bid on names at your own risk or not at all. This is not new information and not a new stance to take.

Some of the names reached prices far higher than I expected. Any indication of when names were going to be sold based on R/Bs or B/Os and even windows of time for the bidding to close would have given other nefarious parties incentive to try and steal as many names as possible by brute force character name creation and luck (window between deletion and creation). My actions and intentions were in the name of security. Unfortunately, as pointed out previously, there is no 100% failsafe method - only methods that can decrease risk significantly.
The sales and transfers I wanted to make have been made.
If you have a name you were truly interested in and did not receive, feel free to discuss via PMs.
So what's the best practice to safely transfer names that other sellers can follow. Did all your transactions go successfully.
The safer methods can't and won't be discussed on this site as it is against the EULA.
The safest method is not worth using on names trading for under 100a. I would consider this a trade secret, sorry.
Unfortunately no, I cannot tout a flawless name transferring record. There are too many variables as mentioned in this thread that took place. This experience is why I have removed name transfers from my list of trade mod services thread. -

I appreciate the feedback and thoughts people have shared here. There are things I have not considered that others have presented, and it is helpful to me as I try and navigate the moderation of such trades.
As the mods have pointed out, there is an inherent risk with name trading. I do consider these to be riskier trades versus guilds/trims/pre post. As mentioned in the thread, there is no way to steal a guild through moderation that has one party walk away with both goods and funds. I screenshot all my trades with confirmation from both parties once the trade is complete.
The two major concerns with name trading:
Some random coincidentally brute force spamming character creation for the specific name which results in a “steal”.
The buyer or seller coordinating with a 4th party to steal while pretending to trade in good faith.
I have some ideas that will help minimize these threats, though, not perfect security. It never will be unless ArenaNet introduces a tradable naming token.
The thought that a trade mod would take advantage of this situation and steal a name… that defeats the entire intent of the position. And ultimately, you must not be using very trustable trade mods if you have concerns someone would do this. Use mods with an extensive history of trust.
Open to discuss further of course!Okay since you started the name selling craze on legacy and you're also the only active "trusted trade mod" left (as far as I know) may we know why your wts thread was suddenly closed? While still a lot of bids ongoing. Obviously this has an impact on the other name sales.

Thanks for your in depth research on this topic.
I do want to add that I have found the below to not be accurate:
- You must select a different starting campaign than the one of the deleted character.
All of my characters and transactions have been NF Warriors. No issues with names releasing.
-
While a bump is not necessary, I did want to point out that I have confirmed the bid on Balthazar for 4500a was a troll post and all bids from that user are/will be ignored.
guildwarsmaniac Your bid of 1500a is next highest and has been marked on the C/O. Please let me know if your offer is a troll offer or retracted.
Edit: Received PM for an offer of 2000a on Balthazar. Funds are verified.
