Where does it say it is illegal to sell an account?
I just went through META and Mprep FAQ, question number 18 says the following:
18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.
Discouraged is different from illegal and forbidden. How come some mods do not respect their own rules and punish people for selling accounts?

What am I missing here?
You are exactly right. If it was illegal people would be banned for it, but it doesn't happen.
Once again for the 10,000th time: the trust system is a whole lot different to the forum rules. Lauda gives out negative trust just because she/he himself doesn't not trust you.
Why would you even need to buy/ sell forum accounts?
