One way of staying safe when buying wow gold online for World of Warcraft is by using only providers who are paypal merchant certified.

In order for a wow gold seller to be come paypal certified they must provide a large amount of personal information such as a credit card, bank account, and home address. All this information is then verified before they can even sell wow goldto the public! Also every wow gold seller will have a reputation number next to their name.  As a good guide I wouldn't buy from a wow gold seller with less than 10 points. And when in doubt you can always buy a small amount of wow gold from them and after they prove themselves change things up and buy a larger amount.
