There's no actual gil being created, though.

You're taking an item you bought with real money and selling it to other players who buy it with their in game gil.

Also, I've not looked hugely into this, but how much of an advantage can you really buy with gil in raiding and whatnot? Is materia melded gear from crafting the best for raids?
