They cannot be trusted so don't buy.
They probably just merchant stuff or they skill. Probably autoers.
Even if you did buy it you wouldn't be able to get it, trade-limit.
Most of the time they sit at green dragons..... I see them all the time, and they do trade gold. Trust me, an old friend of mine, we had a race to 25million coins about 2 months ago..... He had it in about an hour, he bought it. Here is a quote from a site I just looked up on Google-

we have changed the way of trade, We guarantee delivery time less than 5 hours now. other sites deliver gold more than 24 hours, your account ID, password must be given to us (it can be any kinds account that you want to be delivered, mule account, your main account). After placing the order,please contact our Live Chat for more details.
And yes the gold sellers are still in operation. My real life friend bought cash about a month ago, so he could finish herbalore. It did take about 5 hours to get, but it was traded to him. They are using some system to "trade" it.

Runescape is a popular web-based MMORPG developed by a UK company, Jagex. Being based on the Java platform, the game appeals to a broad range of players and attracts as much as 10 million people. The game offers free to play content, funded by advertisment, as well as premium subscriptions for non-advertising servers. The game is based on a fantasy theme involving players to exploring the the world of Gielinor. Like other MMORPGs, the game is open-ended and there is no particular path to follow. Players can engage in killing monsters, fighting other players, completing quests, leveling skills and doing other activities such as trading and mini-games. The game has been running since 2004 and is still going strong with more people joining up every day.
Runescape Gold is the common in-game currency used by players to trade and exchange goods with. The most direct way to obtain Runescape GP is by killing monsters and completing quests. Otherwise, players collect raw materials and convert them to items and sell them to other players for RS Gold. Successful traders make a fortune from the Grand Exchange where as certain weapons and armor demand high prices. Occasionally, the economy becomes unstabled with players exploiting the game's resources. The producer is strongly against all kinds of exploits and looking for ways to counter-measure such activities. However, various game currency sellers are offering RS Gold for real money.

In a word: DON’T.
Buying gold online is a sure way to get your Runescape account banned. Not only that, you might lose all the other Runescape accounts that you have. Jagex will log your IP and ban any account that is originating from that particular IP address.
For the gold sellers, (the vast majority of which are in China), this is no big deal. For them it is a matter of losing a single level 3 player because they are constantly creating these mule players and using them on proxy servers. If one gets caught and deleted they have plenty more to take its place. This is why if you ever purchase gold from one of these sellers you will not see a higher level character giving you the gold. They make sure that their higher level money making characters are never associated with the gold transactions themselves. They will then use these higher level gold maker accounts and have them trade with a shadow account. That shadow account will then trade with the gold trader account. This way the truly valuable gold maker account is always insulated and for the most part safe from scrutiny because it is never actually associated with the gold trader accounts.
So when Jagex does finally catch one of these low level mule gold seller accounts, they track the IP interaction that it has with other players. Once they have enough activity they ban the original gold selling mule and every other character that traded with them for massive amount of gp with nothing else of value being given in exchange.
What these means for you is that your character (whatever level it might be) will be permanently banned. So that level 73 character that you have been working on for months will be gone and all your hard work along with it. And there isn’t a single thing you can do about it. Jagex will not listen to your appeals because you broke the rules. The gold sellers will not care because they got their money and you got their gold. You will be out of luck.
But you might think you can outsmart Jagex and use a mule and shadow account of your own. If you end up doing this Jagex will not stop at just banning your level 3 mule, they will as said before ban every character associated with that particular IP address. This means that not only do you lose your level 3, but you will lose your level 43 magician and your level 63 ranger and your level 93 warrior and so on.
So is it worth trying to trade real money for gold in Runescape? Let’s review:
1. It is against the rules of the game.
2. You will eventually get caught because Jagex is not looking for you but for the gold sellers. However when they find the gold sellers they will find you.
3. You will not only lose the account that you used to trade to get the gold, you will lose all your accounts associated with your IP.
4. You will lose the gold you just traded for.
Buying gold online will never go away. There are just too many companies doing it right now and until the laws concerning the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) are clarified through case law, the advantage will be to the gold sellers. However, if you want to have an account and play on it for awhile then trading gold online is not the way to go. Rather, dedicate yourself to your character, train it well, be a productive part of the community and enjoy a guilt free life.
Bottom line: Don’t trade gold.
I personally thought about it quite some time ago, but decided my account was more important.
