unfair account termination while buying gems
I don’t know all the circumstances but since he disputed the charges, you have gems that Anet won’t receive the money for, hence the ban. You didn’t give the reason for the dispute and it’s not really any of our business knowing. Maybe he isn’t really a good friend, maybe he took your money and ran. We can’t help you here and the best way to get help would be to file a support ticket.

Yeah, company bean counters do not usually “forgive” CC charge disputes so you are likely out of luck on this one. I’ve seen posts from Gailie that state there are only a few CUT THE CORD actions a player can perform and disputing a CC charge is one of them.
I’d be more worried about your “friends” CC …. CC fraud is a felony and your name is on the account.
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances

Zeke — I’m really sorry this happened to you. And quite honestly, it’s unlikely that Support can help with this. There is a risk in having someone else use his CC on your account, and unfortunately, you’ve run into the worse outcome of accepting that risk. I’m not sure why you didn’t use another means of payment. If you had the cash, why not purchase Gem Cards, that would be owned by you and you alone? (They are available online, so the lack of a local retailer isn’t a factor.) Why not deposit the funds into PayPal and purchase the gems that way? Why not purchase a $200 credit card gift card at the grocery store?
I’m not asking you to answer these questions, btw. I’m just presenting them as examples of why what happened is so strange, and why it seems that what you’re going through is so unnecessary, as least at first consideration.
It sounds as if you have been discussing this with Support, and naturally you are welcome to do so. We cannot assist through the forums.
