I think he's repeated enough times that the high levels he's asked have refused because they are afraid of RMT bans (they have a lot invested in their characters.)

This is the core problem. Previously RMT bans didn't catch people who did transfers (or at least no one complained about it). But in the most recent wave of bans the staff
did decide to ban such people, and while that might be great for fighting RMT it has had the unfortunate side effect of chilling legitimate item transfers, invalidating the old P99 advice to "use a high level from a reputable guild". Evidently this has resulted in more opportunities for scammers, so it seems the staff traded (hopefully a lot) less RMT for (a bit) more scamming.
Personally I'm a "go to Freeport, find a random building, then do a drop transfer there" kind of guy myself. I've heard plenty of horror stories from others, but personally I've never had a problem.
