You do transactions for real money outside of the game and isn't sanctioned by the dev. The same way people make real cash, not Steam Wallet funds, via the Steam Market.

Ah, well the figures in the article aren't based on any grey market stuff, so you'd have to look somewhere else to find out what the ISK-to-USD conversion looks like.

It still mostly flows from the cost of PLEX, but would be lower. It's the market's gold essentially, and the most common item to sell for real world money by undercutting what the dev sells it for.
