Reduced demand = Reduced Supply

They're shutting the barn door after the horse has already bolted.

SE takes in reports, considers them, and then eventually gets around to banning the accounts involved, so yes, they are doing something, but they're doing it too late. (In fact, with the current cumbersome reporting system, by the time someone even sends a report, it's likely to be too late.) In the meanwhile, the gilsellers have already had plenty of time to get their money's worth from those accounts.

The gilseller spam will only stop when it becomes unprofitable, and that means monitoring and blocking it in real time, before the spammer can get enough advertisements sent out to bring in any profit. (Most people getting this spam react with annoyance, not with a desire to go buy gil from them. They have to send their ads to lots of players in hopes of finding one who will become their customer. SE needs to block them before they can get that far, before they get that successful hit that will make the spam worth sending.) As long as these spam accounts are profitable, the sellers will just keep replacing any accounts that get banned. Block them before they can make a profit, and it will stop.

They need to ban gil buyers !!!!!! Period.

That too, and I expect some of those banned accounts are buyers. But the ad spamming accounts are the easiest to identify and eliminate, so they're the low-hanging fruit that can be addressed first, so it's getting really annoying that it hasn't been.
