Because SE doesn't want to make it easily abusable and disrupt different worlds economies. If it was up to them, they would probably even prevent us from buying items and reselling them, but they can't do that without making players not being able to transfer items at all, which would hurt everyone who transfers. So you can do that, but it's at your own risk. I personally used to make millions of gil a day effortless just by selling several runs a day on a big server, and when I transfered to this really small one for static purposes, everything here was double if not triple more expensive. I made a lot of extra gil by selling things that would cost less than 100k gil on my previous server, and would be like 300-400k on the small one. Now imagine transfering all that money back to the previous one, people could abuse this so easily (rl cost tho) and would completely break the market.
