Hmn, I don't know if they'd resell. Considering that you can work to get your account back, I imagine they'd rather strip you of clothing/gil, send it to an off-character account, and then use that as a shout bot - because if it gets banned, they lose nothing. But if it gets taken back mid-transaction, they lose -all- potential sells from it.
