Unfortunately it’s a bug and not a bot prevention feature
If you are selling an item in-game using the Auction House as intended and did not participate in RMT yourself, you will be a-ok.
If you are using the Auction House to sell items for egregious gold prices that do not make sense to gold sellers (aka, you are using the Auction House to buy gold through RMT) you will not be ok.

Hola a todos:
Hemos visto que hay una creciente preocupación entre algunos jugadores sobre suspensiones incorrectas y queríamos aclarar ciertas cuestiones sobre las penalizaciones y suspensiones relacionadas con transacciones con dinero real (RMT, por su nombre en inglés).
En primer lugar, hemos detectado cierta preocupación sobre la posibilidad de recibir una suspensión por RMT a través de los sistemas del juego si la persona con la que estás interactuando ha comprado previamente oro por RMT. Queremos tranquilizar a todos los jugadores con esta inquietud: podéis usar sin problema los sistemas de juego, como la Casa de subastas o el Mercado, con total seguridad. No obstante, animamos a todos nuestros jugadores a ser proactivos protegiendo sus cuentas. Si no lo habéis hecho todavía, habilitad la autenticación de doble factor a través de Steam, y aseguráos de no aceptar nunca envíos de oro de usuarios que no conocéis o en los que no confiáis.
En lo relativo a las ...
Read moreBonjour à tous,
Nous avons observé une augmentation des joueurs préoccupés par les suspensions de jeu incorrectes et nous voulions fournir des informations sur la situation actuelle concernant les pénalités et les suspensions liées à des transactions en argent réel (RMT).
Tout d’abord, nous avons constaté des préoccupations concernant la possibilité d’avoir une suspension à cause de transactions en argent réel (RMT) à travers les systèmes en jeu si la personne avec qui vous interagissez a déjà acheté de l’or avec des transactions en argent réel (RMT). Nous voulons rassurer les joueurs qu’ils peuvent utiliser en toute sécurité des systèmes en jeu tels que l’hôtel des ventes ou le marché. Cependant, nous encourageons les utilisateurs à jouer un rôle actif dans la sécurité de leurs comptes. Si ce n’est pas le cas, vous pouvez configurer l’authentification à deux facteurs via Steam et vous assurer de ne jamais accepter l’or envoyé par les utilisateurs que vous ne connaisse...
Read moreHelden von Arkesia,
wir haben in letzter Zeit immer häufiger von Spielern gehört, dass sie sich Sorgen über falsche Spielsperren machen und möchten euch deshalb ein paar Infos über die aktuelle Situation in Sachen RMT-Strafen und -Sperren geben.
Zunächst, wir wissen, dass sich einige von euch Sorgen machen, dass sie eine RMT-Suspendierung durch das In-Game System bekommen könnten, wenn die Person, mit der sie interagieren, zuvor RMT-Gold gekauft hat. Wir möchten euch versichern, dass ihr In-Game-Systeme wie das Auktionshaus oder den Marktplatz nach wie vor, ohne Probleme nutzen könnt. Wir bitten euch aber, selbst aktiv zu werden und eure Accounts zu schützen. Falls ihr das noch nicht erledigt haben solltet, richtet bitte die Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung über Steam ein. Außerdem solltet ihr niemals Gold von Nutzern annehmen, die ihr nicht kennt oder denen ihr nicht vertraut.
Die Dauer der RMT-Strafe hängt von der Schwere der Transaktion ab. Derzeit werden die St...
Read moreHello everyone,
We’ve seen an increase of players concerned about incorrect game suspensions and wanted to provide some information on the current situation with RMT related penalties and suspensions.
First, we have seen concern surrounding the possibility of catching an RMT suspension through in-game systems if the individual you are interacting with has previously purchased RMT gold. We want to reassure players that they can safely use in-game systems such as the Auction House or Marketplace as intended. However, we encourage users to take an active role in keeping their accounts safe. If you haven’t, you can set up Two-Factor Authentication through Steam, and make sure to never accept mailed gold from users that you don’t know or trust.
When it comes to RMT related penalties, the length of these penalties are based on the severity of the RMT that took place. While these currently appear permanent in the game’s UI, you can reach out to our Customer Support tea...
Read moreNo, you will not be banned for selling an item on the Auction House.
The CS agent is encouraging players to take an active role in account safety be wary about receiving gold from sources they do not know; we have always cautioned against receiving gold from random users or mail, and this is still good practice, especially if a suspicious account is sending you an amount of gold that does not make sense.
The second quote suggests that if you are only using in-game systems to sell to (ie, receive gold from) confirmed RMT sources, it is something that will be investigated. If you are using the Auction House regularly, this should never occur.
Neither of these quotes state that regular gameplay or intended use of these systems is bannable, and neither of these quotes say you are guaranteed a ban at any point.
I cannot share specific user or account information, but I would be wary of some of the claims you read online.
The way to not be banned for RMT is to not RMT, which is extremely clear. We are not going to be overly specific and provide run-throughs of with RMT related scenarios or suspension conditions that goldsellers can pick apart to try and get around being penalized.
You will not be banned for participating in RMT if you are not participating in RMT; you will not be banned for using an in-game system such as the Auction house if you are using it as intended.
It is safe to use the Auction House. You will not be banned for using in-game systems as intended.
Bussing is still allowed, although we do encourage users to proceed with caution (ie, not accepting tons and tons of gold that doesn’t make sense from low level accounts or characters with suspicious usernames, if that situation somehow arises). You will not be banned if you are planning the game as intended and are not participating in RMT.
I have removed links to the referenced user for their protection and I cannot delve into sharing specific user information here, but the situation was investigated and the cause for concern that “2300 gold received from a bus could get you suspended” is not something that occurred.
