Basically, this is a guide that will show you the easiest way to transfer money from horde to alliance.

Steps
Transferring from an Alliance Character to a Horde Character
- As the Horde character, find a worthless item. For instance, Dried Bat Blood from a Duskbat in Tirisfal Glades.
- Calculate the commission for the neutral AH. In the case of 15%, put the Dried Bat Blood on it for 1150 gold.
- With your Alliance character or through a friend, buyout the item at the price in step 2.
You have now effectively transferred 1000g.
Transferring from a Horde Character to an Alliance Character
- Log in to the character to whom you want to transfer.
- Go to a neutral AH (Auction House) and put a rubbish item with 24 gold buyout. Neutral Auction Houses are as follows : Gadgetzan, Tanaris Desert; Booty Bay in Stranglethorn and Everlook in Winterspring. A neutral AH is an AH that can be used by both factions.

- Get the character from whom you want to transfer gold from to the same Auction House, find your auction and buy it out. Congratulations ! You have just transferred 24 gold between alliance and horde.
- PATCH 3.2 Edit: You now have to have a friend on another account help you because you can not bid on your own auctions.
- Your transfer will be subject to the 15% sellers fee that the neutral AH applies to all completed sales.
- Best bet:
- Get 2 accounts or a friend you really trust on another account to help you.
- Buy something on the alliance/horde side that is about the price you wish to transfer. Make sure it is an Auction-able item that sells for at least what you paid for it in the faction auction house you are transferring to.
- Post it in the neutral AH for 1 silver.
- Immediately have your friend buy it out at 1 silver.
- Have your friend then give the item to the toon you want to have the money transferred to.
- Post it in the factioned AH for the buyout you wanted to transfer or just bark it out on trade chat.
This way the neutral AH commission is charged 15% on the 1 silver final sale price... 15 copper. There's a couple more steps to it, but the transfer will be completed and you only lose pennies instead of gold.
Warnings
- Beware of the auction costs and as well the AH's commissions (15%) as you may not receive exactly 24 gold, but rather 20 gold and 40 silver.
