With the consumer protections put into place when it comes to such things it is not as risky as it once was to bank on said sites. I am not saying there are not some shady RMT running around, but overall those companies make more money not scamming people out of money. I use to take part in RMT in WoW, from personal experience the credit card phishers and the like are far less common then what people like to perceive. Just as the buyer if they are smart and use a site like paypal or a card with zero liability on unauthorized getting away with scamming someone out of their card info is not as common or as easy to get away with as many would like to assume. Also even ingame action being taken against the buyer is often not heavily punished.

Reality is buying is not as much as risk people like to make it out to be. Sure a risk is present but it is not as paramount as people like to make it.
