Good point. They probably have some gil selling site out there luring idiots to buy from them.
Yes and it's called IGE.
If you ever buy any kind of in-game money, I would advise not using IGE.
Think about this: peons4hire.com got sued by Blizzard, but not the website IGE.com which is much much more infamous.
I am fairly certain IGE works with Blizzard and I wouldn't be surprised if they work with SE as well. How the operation works is Blizzard and SE allow them to conduct business and keep their site open with the deal that IGE give them access to all of their information (Names, Addresses, Credit Cards, Character Name/Server Info) and then they do some cross-checking I assume (well Blizzard does so that you cannot have any excuse, SE might not) and then they ban you.
I am fairly certain that the case is something at least similar to this. I got banned in WoW after selling about 600g when I was deleting a character. The way I went about it, there couldn't possibly have been any concrete evidence. I was unequipping my items and vendoring them and giving away the rest of my stuff, then I whispered the name I was supposed to saying "where can I meet you?" and then I just mailed him the money.
Whenever I ask for an appeal from Blizzard, they investigate and always say that they have concrete evidence, but how can this be when the only possible evidence is MAYBE "where can I meet you?" and even that is definitely concrete, unless they matched the names and CC# I entered at the site. Maybe that was dumb of me, but I would have never seen something like that coming.
So yeah, just a warning: Don't use IGE.
