    There's no problem with spending $1 in game currency to buy $10 in game currency

Yeah that's 1) Real Money Trading, which is illegal and 2) if you paying $1 for $10 TCD you are way being badly scammed.

Buy a Donator Pack and sell that on the item market instead

I’ll sell you 10b torn currency for 1b real money. XD

after that I’ll buy torn, and take that 10b and give it back to myself. Or just rig the code to win slot radioactive 100x.

As others have pointed out the exchange for non-Torn items for Torn Items or vice versa is against the rules

https://www.torn.com/rules.php


[background color=#f2f2f2]REAL MONEY TRADING: DELETION[/background]



[background color=#f2f2f2]The exchange of currency or assets on Torn for real-world money or services (including assets from other games) is strictly prohibited. Real money trading directly affects Torn's economy and donation levels, while exposing our users to fraudulent activities. Staff proactively seek out buyers and sellers both on-site and externally, and no warnings are given for the first offense. Buyers will have their purchased goods removed and be subject to a lengthy game ban, whereas sellers will be banned permanently without recourse.[/background]

Probs out trying to sell da newds.


Edit: after making this post, you've put yourself on the map for investigation regardless. Might as well just ask upfront if what you're doing is against the rules so we can give you an answer instead of beating around the bush. Because they're gonna find out if it is.

If I'm understanding right, that's literally what a trader does. There's no point in being a trader if you're not making profit. I don't see how or why anyone said that would be against the rules, unless I'm missing some kinda context.
