[Text taken from an official annoncement from the Gaia admins]

Beware of buying Gaia gold or items for real money!

The following section doesn't apply to Monthly Collectibles, Gift Credits, or anything else sold officially on gaiaonline.com; it only applies to items bought on third-party sites or auction sites.

Paying real money for Gaia gold or items is against our Terms of Service and is a total waste of money. The gold and items being sold on the internet are botted or hacked, which means that people who buy them will get in trouble!

Here is a timeline of what will happen when someone buys Gaia gold or items with real money:

[1] A Gaian pays some jerk on the internet for Gaia Gold or a rare item.
[2] The jerk takes the Gaian's money.
[3] We catch the jerk botting or hacking (we always catch 'em).
[4] The jerk gets banned!
[5] We check the jerk's trade history and see that he sent a Gaian a large amount of gold or a rare item.
[6] We ban the Gaian for profiting from botting/hacking! Ouch!
[7] The Gaian is sad because he wasted a bunch of money just to get banned! Alas!

Does that sound like a good way to spend money? Not really!

Once I was telling my boy about Gaia, & he jokingly said "I wonder if people sell their Gaia gold on ebay. So I searched "Gaia gold", or something along those lines, on eBay, & to my suprise there were actually results... lots of them! I remember one person was auctioning one million g, & there were 12 bids, the highest being 81.50 dollars (yeah yeah, I can remember numbers incredibly well without trying). I was 75% amused, & 25% disgusted & angry. I looked into the whole gold-sold-on-eBay thing more later on, & I swear to God, it's so sketched out. Rio & the Gaia admins are so right (duh), don't buy gold off ebay, or any other website that's not affiliated with gaiaonline.com. The people who sell these things really are hackers; & who wants to encourage a hacker to keep hacking random accounts?
