Ah, the infamous IGE. The largest company in the industry with the best customer service. If you're concerned about customer services issues, as most people are in a new industry such as this one, IGE is a great choice.
Customer Service
The best customer service in the industry and one of the very few vendors who have a phone number listed. Customer service representatives were reponsive and friendly. This is the level of customer services the other vendors in this industry are striving for. Delivery was made within minutes as well. Website
The website is easy to navigate with a very clean and slick design. Load times are minimal and you won't find any broken english here.
The checkout process was the industry standard Paypal checkout so nothing new there. Product
Product selection is fairly good with the most common increments of game currencies. IGE does cover a comprehensive list of games, more than most other vendors.
Pricing is average to slightly higher than average compared to other companies, but you get what you pay for in customer service.
IGE also buys items/accounts/currency so you can make a few dollars or move over your in-game assets from one game to the next. You can also donate your currency to benefit a charity. Bottom Line
An excellent choice if you don't mind paying a little more for the best in the industry. Prices starting at $23.39 for 500g

International Herald Tribune
Every day, in 12-hour shifts, they kill monsters and harvest "gold coins" and other virtual goods that they can sell to other online gamers. From Seoul to San Francisco, gamers who lack the hours or the patience to work their way up to the higher levels of gamedom, are hiring young Chinese to play the early rounds for them. 
PCMAG
If you don't have time to spend hours playing the game, you can buy other players' items and currency to boost your character, or simply buy a preplayed powerful character to begin with. Sony estimates that the market for such virtual goods typically sold on eBay-style auction sites or by game-playing corporate entities like IGE has reached $200 million in yearly sales.
