Agree any soulbound item that can not be worn by the toon should not be available for purchase.
What if I want to buy an armor piece my character can’t use? I’ve been told it’s possible to pull off some cross-character transmuting tricks with soulbound items.
What if doing that is unintended and as such its consider an exploit?
All karma rewards are meant for the toon that acquires it, Devs have gone on record on this issue.

So I guess my lemons should be soulbound then?
Touche. Should have been more explicit. The armor “trick” that you refer to is unintended, Karma armor is meant for the toon that acquires it.
As to the lemons there is a reason you can’t sell them or even give them away for free.
Edit
Just thought up a reason why Anet allows the purchase of different type of karma armor. I’m not familiar with the Mystic forge recipes, but perhaps 4 “x” type of armor could result in a piece of armor of that type?
Say my Necro has tons of karma and I want a helm for my Warrior maybe I can Throw 4 Karma bought heavy helms and get a random Heavy helm (non soulbound) back?
You can sell the lemons once you “transmute” them into another form. Bit of a reach? Maybe, but I’ll believe the armor thing is unintended when anet decides to stop it.

This is true (I’ve done this to get my Anon starter thief hood) you can’t transmute a light armor onto a heavy armor, a medim armor onto light armor, etc. There’s no real reason for a character to buy X piece of gear for another character they have because gold can be deposited into the bank.
My original suggestion also addresses this, for some reason if you want to buy items your character can’t use they’ll be on a separate tab.
So I grind of hours, getting loads of karma, I’m buying my karma gear and MISCLICK I buy heavy karma armor which I can’t use. I message support immediately and they can’t help me.
