I want your advice on how to trade a wow account safely

[Akutski]

Ok, I may be getting a wow account from another user. However, I want to make sure that he cannot get it back once the trade is over. What precautions should I take ? and what should I do ?

Uhm..
As long as they know the security question(not able to be changed) and the CD key, they can get it back..
The only thing you can really do, is change the name/address/ etc..
Password..
nothing much after that..

I don't think it's worth it. You have to change the E-mail adress of the account quickly otherwise the original account holder can easily contact Blizzard and claim their account was stolen.

Yepp. You are right.

So even if I do change the details and the email address he/she can still easily take the account back right ?

Yes, they can just easily e-mail blizzard and complain that their account was stolen. After all of that, Blizzard usually investigates the situation and will e-mail the new account name and password to the original user. Pretty sick.. A lot of E-bay users sell their accounts for like $300++ and steal them back.

He can recover it easily they send a new pass to his email and even if he gives u his email adress and u change its pass he can always recover his email adress by answering secret question.Maybe if u can change secret question but i dont think its changable.
