There seem to be quite a few sites where you can sell ISK - though after quick research (not familiar, since I have never played the game myself) I see that the forums explain that it is not allowed by EVE, yet people still do it.

The "market rate" seems to be approx 0.40 USD per 1M EVE ISK, but it fluctuates on various sites with some being up to 0.65 USD.

Selling ISK is explicitly forbidden by the EVE ToS. Buying ISK without going through CCP (by buying game cards) is also forbidden.

If caught, CCP will debit your in game wallet for the ISK you bought twice -- once to reverse the transaction, once as a penalty fee.


That corresponds to what I read and good to have confirmation on that - but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.


No, I didn't mean to imply that unsanctioned ISK sales weren't happening -- you are right, they most certainly are happening.

I just wanted to add a bit more information to your post :)
