I’m very sorry to hear that the direct and predictable results of your actions happened to you. Read the fine print, I live in America so I don’t have to deal with it, but if I ever buy anything from another country I read everything. This isn’t blizzards fault. Also I’ll see you in game, you won’t quit just like the rest won’t.
Such very bad advice in GD today lol

But OP’s quitting right? So having the account banned won’t be a bad thing, right?
But yeah!
Nobody who spent $120 on two digital pets is going to quit.
They’re also not going to risk their account since they’re obviously a collector.
This thread is just noise.

diet sodas are worse for your health, you are better off drinking water and skipping the sodas.

No one robbed you.
But they really need to stop limiting this stuff to US only. And they need to stop attaching battle pets to plushies that look like a five year old made it with some basic shapes cut out of felt that they hot glued to some poorly made stuffed… thing.

I’m not sure how much choice they have. International regulations are weird. A lot of contests and promotions I see have the same limitations, not just Blizzard.

Never do a chargeback. That’s a mess you don’t want to deal with.
Just do as Water said and contact support ASAP with the details.

This isn’t a promotion, it’s the gear shop. And those pets should be in the WoW cosmetics shop so people can buy them regardless of region and use Bnet balance or credit card.

I see a bunch of people jumping on the bandwagon of “evil companies trying to scam us” but the reality is these issues are caused by local laws. A lot of “foreign” promotional stuff doesn’t apply in Canada, and other countries. None of this is Blizzard’s decision, you think they WANT just some specific countries to not have access to digital content that can’t go out of order? Of course not, it’s only trouble for them and less sales. They want everything to be accessible to everyone, but some government block a lot of stuff from being available. Your complaints should be towards the Canadian government, not Blizzard. I am Canadian too.
But also 2 things.
You’re right that the fine print should be more obvious.
And for the love of god 140$ for 2 battle pets is INSANE. The game itself was less expensive. For 2 battles pets you should never pay more than a quarter.
EDIT: and when I say “a quarter” I don’t mean a quarter of what you just paid, I mean 25 cents.

Really? Not sure how “more obvious” it could be.

You got robbed?
- you failed to read the fine print…
but more impoortantly: - You have not contacted Blizzard to request order cancelation and refund as your main purpose was to purchase the digital goods.
You didn’t get robbed, you failed to read and failed to follow up…
come back and complain more AFTER you reach out and talk to blizzard…

You’re not sure how more obvious it could be while you send a screenshot that very clearly displays how “only available to US customers” could follow the first line up there saying “Exclusive In-Game Content Included with Purchase”, since this very in-game content is the thing that’s not available in some countries, same font, same size, also in bold, and part of the first information people should have.
Take literally zero extra effort, better communicated, ethically and morally better.
There is no way you just tried to make this argument while using a screenshot that provides a counter to your own point, that’s WILD.

Oh I’m sorry, here, let me try that again:
How’s that? 2 lines UNDER Where it says “Exclusive in-Game …”
The fact that you are defending this persons severe lack of accountability for their mistake is astounding.

they know where youre from when you buy, to apply the correct taxes.
they could give a warning before final process. but then they can’t get an accidental 140$ 
How am I defending them? I literally called them insane for paying so much for useless stuff AND I said this happens a lot in Canada, implying he should be used to this by now. He’s in the wrong, sure, but Blizzard not making it clear and just pushing this information down is just your typical sales strategy that many scummy businesses do.
When I said under the first line I meant that at the top you should see this:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Exclusive in-game content included with Purchase
(Unavailable to Canada and Mexico)
Blablabla rest of the info.
Making the description like that LITERALLY takes less effort for the ONE person who had to write this, than it takes for any single person to search through it to get the important information.
I’m not defending OP. You’re defending predatory business practices. Even if I was defending OP I would still be more in the right than you. Objectively speaking.
I can’t wait for your next irrational rebuttal that will inevitably also get dunked on.

But it is clear, unless of course you cannot read, at all.
It’s literally in black and white right there, on the webpage, it’s not even hidden, it’s not in tiny print.
“See terms and conditions” is even in BOLD PRINT right next to the image of the digital product.
And you call that
smh

You’re right I can’t read at all. That’s why we’re having this text based argument over the internet. With writen words. That we have to read.
It is predatory business practices. If it wasn’t, then it would be written the way I just showed you. It takes less time to write, it’s more obvious, the information is better communicated. The only downside is it doesn’t create a trap for any customers to miss and fall into. That’s what makes it predatory. Just like any prey, would they get caught if they paid more attention? No, they would not. We all agree on that. This doesn’t mean there’s no predators around, a failed predation doesn’t mean absence of predators.
Purposefully making the information less obvious than it should be, is predatory business practices.
Not reading all the information before making a purchase is dumb.
Blocking content from being available in your country is annoying to everyone and accomplishes nothing.
