How to buy gold or game currency

How a gold or currency order works on AccountShark: ordering for your own server, face-to-face trade or in-game mail delivery, and checking the amount before you confirm.

Buying gold or game currency on AccountShark starts with choosing your game, server, and amount. After checkout, an approved currency supplier delivers your order using the method shown on the listing.

🧭 Step 1: Choose your game

Go to Currency and select the game you want to buy gold or currency for.

Choose the correct options for your order. Depending on the game, this may include:

  • Region

  • Server or realm

  • Faction

  • Platform

  • Currency type

Check these carefully. Currency delivered to the wrong server, region, or platform may not be transferable afterward.


💰 Step 2: Choose a supplier and amount

Browse the available currency listings for your selection.

Compare the:

  • Price

  • Available stock

  • Minimum order

  • Delivery method

  • Estimated delivery time

  • Supplier feedback and history

Enter the amount you want to purchase and review the total before continuing.


👤 Step 3: Enter your delivery information

AccountShark asks for the information the supplier needs to deliver your order.

What you need to provide depends on the game and delivery method. It may include your:

  • Character name

  • Server or realm

  • Faction

  • Username

  • Other game-specific delivery information

Double-check this information before paying. A small typo in a character name or server can send the currency to the wrong place or delay delivery.


💳 Step 4: Complete checkout

Review your order summary, choose your payment method, and complete payment.

Once payment is confirmed, your currency order is created and the supplier can begin delivery.

See What payment methods does AccountShark accept? for the available payment options.


📦 Step 5: Receive your gold or currency

The delivery method is shown with your order and can vary by game.

Common methods include:

Face-to-face trade You meet the supplier in game using the character and location agreed for the order. Both of you need to be online for the trade.

In-game mail The supplier sends the currency to your character through the game's mail system. You generally do not need to be online at the same time.

Auction house or marketplace You may be asked to list a particular item so the supplier can transfer the currency through the game's trading system.

Other games may use their own supported transfer methods. Follow the delivery instructions for the listing you purchased.


⏱️ Step 6: Check your delivery

Once the supplier marks the currency as delivered, you have 2 hours to check the order before it automatically completes.

Confirm:

  • You received the correct amount.

  • It went to the correct character or account.

  • The delivery is complete.

If everything is correct, confirm delivery.

If the order is missing, incorrect, or only partially delivered, use Report a problem before the 2-hour window ends.


❓ Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be online for delivery?

It depends on the delivery method.

A face-to-face trade requires you to be online and available to meet the supplier. In-game mail and some auction-house or marketplace methods can be completed without both of you being online at the same time.

Check the listing before ordering so you know what will be required.

How long does gold delivery take?

Delivery time depends on the game, server, supplier, available stock, and delivery method.

Use the estimated delivery time shown on the listing you purchase rather than assuming every gold or currency order will arrive at the same speed.

What if I entered the wrong character or server?

Tell the supplier as soon as you notice the mistake.

If the currency has not been sent yet, the delivery information may still be correctable. Once currency has already been transferred, recovery may not be possible.

What if I receive only part of my order?

Do not confirm delivery.

Use Report a problem and show what you received compared with the amount you ordered. AccountShark can review the delivery and determine what happens next.
