Firstly, Quoting njaguar:

Name changes (and account sales) specifically within D2 are not allowed because they are mostly impossible to mediate. If you can come up with a sure fire way to mediate these, we may consider a rule change on them. (And to prevent scams from recovering an account after a sale)

Last I heard, you couldn't set an email on an account after you registered it. That would mean there's no way to know if the account could be recovered or not.

Lets make them safer

Current illegal trades:
-Runescape membership pins
-WoW membership
-XBL Points/Membership
-Other game memberships
-Account selling/trading

How we could solve these:
-Runescape, get a mediator to take the pin AND the FG, and activate the pin himself OR let the person activate it and confirm (med checks with screenshot or something)
-WoW membership, same thing
-XBL Points/membership, same thing
-Other game memberships, same thing
-Account selling/trading is the hard part

Runescape: Send a mediator the forum gold to cover it, verify that you can recover the account yourself before anything, or allow the mediator to do so, then FWD the forum gold
WoW: Same deal
Diablo II: More difficult, you can change the email address, but same kinda deal

It would make there be more trades,and less scammer accusations regarding these because they are actually legal (should this be passed), and justice could be taken against illegal trades.

About runescape:

I have to say no. It is easy to recover account back even after the sale recoveries are removed and changed. Original owner can always recover it if he has first passwords and membership transaction numbers. Even if the buyer is able to recover, then still the original owner could recover it too and remove the gold from the account, what is a scam.
Also giving mediators the info will leave 2 options if the account should be recovered. Either Seller did it or Mediator. I do not want to get blamed or accused on something like that.

Membership: For a credit card membership it will require account information and is impossible to mediate unless mediator gets the sellers personal info and credit card info (What is totally illegal).
About pay by phone method. I do not really know how this works since i have never done it myself so if you can explain it a bit then, I can comment it.

That's a NO from me

Yeah, for 1 legit trade, there will be 100 scams -.-.

@Membership, as long as it wouldn't be via credit cards, I wouldn't mind it.

I'd have to say No, because I've gotten my fare share of stolen accounts.
