It is common practice for a FFXI Gil seller to ask for details such as your character name and some of your personal details to verify your payment. However it is not necessary for websites who sell virtual currency to request your account name and account password, unless they have a specific delivery system or you trust them with your account information. You should never trust any website or service with your account information unless you are highly confident they are a legitimate and credible company. Always question why your details are required before providing them.

Most companies will deliver FFXI Gil in game to your character in person or use a delivery method such as mail. If you require quick delivery through face-to-face delivery then it is important you arrange the trade with the seller and make sure you are online at the time of delivery. It is more convenient to receive through delivery methods such as mail, however these can often be less secure. Always ask the seller which is the most secure method of delivery and which they advise you use. It is logical that the seller will advise the most secure method of delivery as they will not wish to replace – it just makes business sense for them.
