Trial Account To Fully Upgraded Account Delay

Hello,

I have been searching everywhere but I can't seem to find the answer I am looking for.

I created a trial account about 10 to 15 hours ago and upgraded the account to full Wrath Of The Lich King and 3 Mos Subscription about 3 to 5 hours into playing it.

I just got my char to level 10 and I wanted to mess around with the auction house but I am unable to post any auctions.

Is this normal? I am ok with a delay or something but I do not know if this is supposed to be happening. I did call my CC company and they confirmed everything went through.

I also noticed that my purchases are pending and not active like the trial account. Do they manually review payments?

Any help is much appreciated.

Did you upgrade online, Vikx? The reason I ask if because, when an account is upgraded online, some temporary trial restrictions will remain in place until payment for that upgrade is finalized. These restrictions include, but are not limited to:

    - Inability to trade via the auction house, mailbox, or player-to-player.
    - In-Game public chat channels will be unavailable. (Players will still be able to communicate using say, party, or whispers).
    - Characters will be unable to create or join existing guilds.


Level and profession skill caps will be removed right away, though. :)

As another posted noted, these temporary trial restrictions should dissipate within 72 hours of the digital upgrade. Give or take!
