Just curious to see how this works.. it seems some players are selling items for real life cash via paypal or other methods, so would buying PED be legal as well (albeit unsecure and not defended/encouraged by MindArk?)

Original Support Case sent by me:
Hello.
I was approached by an intriguining offer by *********** to sell me PED for USD ($) via paypal. I read through the ToS and found this statement under section 6.1. Transactions between Avatars:
"You acknowledge that any transaction regarding Virtual Items, including PED, carried out using any service or system other than one of MindArk’s Approved Transaction systems is at Your own risk."
I interpreted as purchasing PED in game outside of the game is legal as long as both parties understand it is at their own risk. However, I do not want to get terminated if I am mistaken so I am being as transparent as I can be regarding this situation. If this was against the EULA, I understand that the 1000 PED that was purchased may be revoked from my account. I am asking for clarification on this transaction and to see if I am in compliance (or breaching) the EULA.
The transaction occured on Entropia Universe time: 2015-03-04 03:39:01 with Avatar ********* just outside of Camp Icarus.
Best regards.
