If you were looking to give the gift of cash shop items in Black Desert Online, you’re out of luck. Due to rampant credit card fraud, Black Desert Online will no longer allow cash shop items to be gifted. In a post on the official forums, Daum Games also announced that players purchasing from gold selling services will be “sanctioned accordingly.”
Due to abuse and credit card fraud by third parties (gold sellers and others) we will shut down the gifting feature in our cash shop. All players who purchased items/silver from those services will be inquired and sanctioned accordingly.
As a commodity that already finds itself in the grey area of the law, gold farmers and credit card fraud are two pieces that often come packaged together, using stolen cards to traffic in goods at no cost to themselves, with the funds inevitably reversed at the developer’s expense. The practice has been growing in selling CD keys purchased off of gaming websites with stolen credit cards, causing numerous developers to begin disabling associated keys.
