it depends on how you look at it, and the game… a lot of online games do not allow real money trading.
it is generally considered cheating, as you have done nothing (in game) to earn that money.
also it leads to poorly skilled players being in areas they are not ready for.
Example: if in Eve online i was to purchase a few billion isk (the in game currency) i could purchase a large ship and all the skills necessary to fly it, but if i take it out to where that sort of ship is suited for, because i have no idea how the ship should actually be used i get killed very quickly.
It is generally better to work on making an income in the game to support your style of play, as then when mis-haps occur you have can easily recover because you know how too.
