Like any MMO, join a AOL messenger chat and do the real trading there. How do you think gold sellers work?
I was under the impression that you could only put real money into the game, not get it out.
You can spend real money to buy pilot license extensions (PLEX), which can be redeemed by the holder for 1 month of subscription time. You don’t have to redeem it right away, and PLEX can be sold to other players. So there is a USD to ISK exchange rate equivalent to the market value of PLEX, but you can’t turn PLEX back into dollars.

You do transactions for real money outside of the game and isn’t sanftioned by the dev.

Ah, well the figures in the article aren’t based on any grey market stuff, so you’d have to look somewhere else to find out what the ISK-to-USD conversion looks like.

It still mostly flows from the cost of PLEX, but would be lower. It’s the market’s gold essentially, and the most common item to sell for real world money by undercutting what the dev sells it for.
