The botters use an addon or piece of software that pushes the "buy" button for them. They're rarer now, because they're pretty much an instant permaban. I saw one working in Booty Bay, reported him, put him on my friends list, and he never came back - it was a level 70 Tauren, too, decked in pretty good raid gear.
A couple of top raiders get booted, word spreads fast.
What I'm seeing lately is a LOT of gold being transferred, white items listed for 5k, 10k, last weekend there was a grey item listed for 10k. All the same people, too - I've reported them as suspected gold accounts for sellers, but they're still there - they're probably watching them to get the others who they deal with.
I think they're cracking down on ore botters, too, I'm seeing prices rise, less of it available, and I'm actually seeing nodes in WG and Storm Peaks and IC. I actually got a titanium node Sunday, I never even SEE those anymore.
