It's not 'your' bank account, it belongs to CCP. You have access to it and its contents only as long as you agree to play their game according to their rules.
The transaction was initiated by a GM which is very suggestive. If you move the mouse over the [r] it will give you an explanation. As the other poster said you've probably been buying Isk through third party sites. That is against the EULA (ie;against game rules).
Oh and it also makes you an object of ridicule for not knowing about the rules and for being so sad as to need to resort to cheating. -- (Battle hardened industrialist)

GM's essentially removed the iskies from the game I think. maybe by sending it back to the seller and then banning to sellers account

I like how everyone insults the isk-selling, and disparages isk-buyers. It's just funny cause CCP is very hypocritical, as they are the biggest isk-sellers of all. They sell it through timecodes, and eliminate all competition by retroactively stealing all virtual property (read: isk) that was not bought through them. (Yes it is stealing when you take something someone else bought, regardless of what any EULA may say. EULAs have no real legal power.)

Lol, nothing in the game is yours, it remains the sole property of CCP. What do you want to do? sue them because they took your ISK? Ohnoes, that wasn't yours in the first place...

When they buy/sell timecodes - all the profit goes to CCP. When people actually buy/sell ISK through third-parties, they don't get any money. They don't mind people paying isk to play the game - it's quite a nice thing to have in actuality (what other game do you know that allows people to do this?).
They are completely different things. ---

1. player buys timecode from CCP 2. player trades timecode to another player for ISK
Which of those steps has CCP selling ISK? All the ISK in the equation comes from players. CCP is only selling time codes.

You bought ISK knowing it's not allowed, and someone takes that same amount of ISK out of your wallet again and it says GM all over the place ?
And that didn't ring any bells ?

Portions of some EULA's may prove to have no legal power if tested in a court of law.
However, EVE's EULA is pretty watertight, and especially regarding this.

So, you paid real life money to buy video game money, then your video game money got taken by the GM.

This isn't here nor there to the original posters problem, however I will answer you.
Having worked in the MMO industry in the past, I can promise you that any "objection" to isk or currency trading from the companies that publish MMOs revolves around the "sale" and transfer of their intellectual property.
What I mean to say is, companies do not like it when people are trading real currency for game currency and items, because they don't see any of the money that has changed hands because of THEIR game.
This leaves developers in a sticky situation. Simply selling items to customers directly is an option, but this increases inflation issues, and disturbs a very complex formula that regulates the amount of currency and items that flow into the game (through NPCs and questing) and the amount of money that comes out of the game (taxes on player transactions, etc.)
Some companies, like SOE, have opted to create servers where item and currency trading is acceptable. They then control all currency and money transfers through the "station exchange," charging a small fee for each transaction.
CCP has chosen a third method (and a rather ingenious one at that) to get their "piece" of currency exchanges in EVE-0. By allowing people to sell time cards for isk, CCP receives all of the "cash" that in most cases would have gone to a third party. For example, player A (the seller) gives CCP $15 for a time code, this player then sells the time code for isk to player B. So, player A has purchased isk from CCP, in a round about way, but the isk is isk that is already IN game.
There are secondary benefits from this as well, like people who typically couldn't afford a monthly subscription being able to play in virtue of their success in game.

It would never be tested in a court of law because it's too trivial. Everything in the game-world belongs to CCP. CCP have absolutely right to say who can or cannot access their servers.
Once you understand those two facts you realise that the EULA is basically a set of game rules. You either play by those rules or don't play. You don't need a court to decide that. -- (Battle hardened industrialist)
