Explain how then, instead of just saying so
The possibility to transfer money between players.

What exactly do you want an explanation of?
If you enable player to player trade, even if it is just for credits. Then the EXACT same player to player trade can be used by a gold seller to sell credits for real money. The deal is made on an external web-site, and then the transaction is completed in game, where the buyer meets up with the gold seller.
And as explained a few times by now, Gold Sellers are NOT good for the game, at any level.

I don’t want to deal with wings of gankers demanding other commanders pay them credits. If you want to help a commander make some money, let them multi-crew with you.
LOL.
Problem with gold sellers is that - instead of playing in an environment where people run missions for their creds and where you can't repeatedly annoy people before you eventually run out of in-game cash - and get to rethink your attitude - you put another dime in and hey presto; Sol is overrun by Suicide Corvettes!
Without it, you did the grind and - hopefully - have a connection to and certain pride of ownership in your ship.
Lestat, why did you lie to me? People say that docking on large ships is not difficult. And even easier than the small ones.
In this https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/460529-Make-a-large-ship-docking-tutorial thread, I was filled up with messages about it, now I feel awkward.
You asked how many tutorials I played, I answered.
Problem with that approach is just brings up links to the gold sellers websites, they know how to optimise their web pages
A gold seller is basically anyone who takes your real money and turns it into in-game money apart from the game owners.
Because there are so many different ways of trading in games there are different ways this is implemented, they are to many and varied to go into in any detail here, but it takes money away from the game maker, reducing their income, leads to hacking because often you have to give them your log on details as part of process and is against the T&C's of the game of course.
It leads to spamming in game forums and in game chat channels sometimes to the point it becomes a waste of time trying to talk to anyone in game and if there is an in-game economy it usually drives it into terminal decline. We don't have that problem in Elite, guess why?
The fuel rats - are they gold sellers?
And why did gold sellers can not simply be banned? In any case, they must show their nicknames. And creating another account is not profitable for them, they will have to buy the game again.

EVE is far from spacesim. I do not understand people who equate Elite and EVE. But at the same time, it would be nice to transfer some things from there to the Elite.

Thinking about it...
I would'nt mind having the option to pirate players for cold cash instead of commodities...
In fact, that would actually make piracy quite appealing seeing as one would no longer need to take an overweight and incapable bus to make any money.

Are you really going to play this dumb?
What exactly do you think fuel rats do? And how do twist what fuel rats do into that being some kind of gold seller?
So who are going to be doing all those banning? who do you think will have to pay for that? IS that really waht you want FDev to be focused on? Shoudl they just ban the seller or both the seller and buyer?
A hint, banning gold seller accounts have sofar not really worked in any other game. Mostly because the cost of an account etc, is on the grand total more than what they have to pay for a new account.
So just because a few said something different makes that true? If that is the case, why are still here arguing for this? by the same logic, you stop, you have not given any substantial ideas on how to make your suggestion to work, you are very vague and you do not have solution to the issues brought up against it. So how should it be?
Unless you have a much better solution to this supposed gold seller problem without completely omitting such a feature altogether
Hang on here, Why should I come up with a solution to a broken idea that I do not support?
That's cool. Right now piracy makes no sense.
But people will still pull out the ethernet cable, so forget it.
Nah, you are definitely wrong now
First about rats. Do they provide services for real money? Do they take them bypassing the FD accounts? Then they fit the definition of Gold Sellers, though a bit exaggerated.
Ban the seller, cancel the buyer’s transaction. Pretty simple.
Elite is not a free game. And not cheap. It won't work here. Constantly buying the game will be unprofitable, I repeat it.
Because since this idea is apparently broken, and as I am only just one person, I would really love to see some actual discussion about how it can be fixed and improved upon to make it actually viable without letting bitcoiners destroy everything they get their dirty mitts on
Hey, I'm not asking you. But if he said so, then let him at least go to that thread and support me.
