I've heard mixed opinions in this area. Any educated opinions on the subject would be appreciated.
If it isn't legal, how are other sites operating without problem?

I think it does require registration. retailers who sell moneypak cards are required to be registered with fincen and these retailers have standards they follow for kyc and aml. moneypak is a stored value card and as such trading them in certain jurisdictions requires registration. anyone selling moneypak for btc who has not registered with fincen is probably breaking the law.
why are they not caught? nobody has noticed them. In time there will be more regulation and less wild west trading in the bitcoin world. if you are seeking a registered and legal bitcoin -> moneypak solution check the website I built at:
