seeing that MMO account sales is an unregulated 'black' market, you have to treat your account as a black market good; pretend you're a drug dealer for a day. i would demand cash payment, even if it means you have to restrict yourself to local buyers for possibly less money. obviously it helps to be in a major metropolitan area. it's way too easy to get scammed with other forms of payment. keep in mind that after you turn over the account name and password, you have no proof that you actually transferred the account. with paypal, if it still works anything like it did a few years ago, all the buyer has to do is claim you didn't deliver and they will simply take the money right back, and as far as I could tell you have no restitution. i'm not sure about other forms of electronic payment, but I wouldn't trust them. a postal money order might work, but cash it at the post office, and don't turn over the account until you have the cash in your hand. be sure there's no way to trace the money back to your personal bank account.

i'm not sure about blizzard; with sony its sometimes possible to recover your account in case of a scam, but instead of risking it just make sure you can't get scammed in the first place. make the buyer assume all the risk.
