well i didnt really mean just the CD key... your friend still has to ship the rest of the stuff to you via airmail anyway smile.gif

btw from google

33 Australian dollars = 76.175387 Malaysian ringgit

47 Australian dollars = 108.492218 Malaysian ringgit

lol you pay RM185 and get WOTLK and 60days reload.

Thanks yitjuan for the links provided.

I bought a game card from dvdcrave.com on the 30th October and everything seems fine. The total cost was Aus34.05 excluding GST and shipping which was not required. In fact they dont ship to Malaysia due to too many fraudulent cases.

Total charges in ringgit amounted to RM80 as reflected in my credit card statement. Pretty good deal i reckon.

For those interested, they can contact me if they would like to buy the codes from me at a slight premium to the price above. This would be mainly for people without a credit card but with a Maybank savings account.

Again i wish to reiterate that this is a service i had told myself not to get involved in, but on the other hand, i would like to provide another option which is of benefit to the wow community.

if you're afraid of cc fraud, i don't think its necessary cos most of the e-commerce services are middleman parties that will help prevent fraud.
in other words, the shop/person you're buying from will not even get a single detail of your cc, they are only getting the credit you're paying them.

however do note, most of the online stores based in aussie does not sell the cards to outsiders. thus your best bet is through e-bay.

The chances of stealing credit card details is probably alot higher at petrol stations than in online transactions.

My guess anyways.

36 to 38 aussie. most probably have to buy from JB Hifi or d*** Smith, unless there's a cybercafe nearby. And unlike Malaysia, Aussies don't have many cybercafes. heck, the shopping centres close at 5pm.
