Scamming is allowed ingame.
Character transfers and G/ETC sales are not exclusively ingame acivities, and thus are not allowed.

That's not the point i was talking about. Read the bold text, it does not match with the PACTA SUNT SERVANDA principle.
Good job this isn't some international treaty then, isn't it?
CCP have the right to decide who they will provide their service to, and you agreed to that stipulation.

From the TOS (which forms part of the eula)
Quote:
#
# CCP reserves the right to close, temporarily or permanently, any userĘs account without advance notice as we deem necessary. Furthermore, we reserve the right to delete all user accounts or inventory of characters as warranted.
# We reserve the right to ban any user from the game without refund or compensation.
If you didn't *want* to sign up to those conditions of use, you can just cancel and walk away.

You're the kind of person that EULAs with invalid clauses were originally invented for.
It doesn't really make much difference.
A judge isn't going to be able to force CCP to provide its service to someone it doesn't want to. At worst CCP would have to pay costs and the outstanding portion of the current subscription.
More likely, however, is that it would never get to trial.
CCP can restrict their service as they see fit. That part of the EULA is perfectly valid. Unless you could prove they were doing it in a dicriminatory manner then there would be no case to answer; just the same way as a shop can refuse to serve you, or a bus can refuse you as a passenger, or a bank can decline your request for a loan. It may not be great for customer service, but they are certainly entitled to do so.

so i still don't get why it is okey to scam billions of isk in mods etc. but not okey to scam them in charecter sale or gtc's, as long as the only thing you scam is isk?
If you scam a character sale the owner loses the transfer fee. That is real money.
If you scam a timecode then the seller loses out on the cost of the code.
Fraud:
Obtaining goods, money, or services through deception.
If the person scammed has a tangible financial loss (as opposed to some missing pixels), then it has ceased to be a "legitimate" in-game scam.
