Doing this as part of a Matrix game online. It's one word with less then 8 letters.
He who makes it has no need for it.
He who buys it has no use for it.
He who needs can neither see it, nor feel it.
What is it?
(fist thought that popped into my head was time, but that was wrong)
Thanks!

No need to guess. This puzzle has been posted and answered more times than even the "GRY" puzzle!
One place where you can find the answer, and some very good advice is here.

This what a simple one... Realizing that if you need something that it is a neccessity, but if you cant see it than you must be blind, if you cant touch it then your brain is either screwed up or your dead. In which dead is what the guy is, because the answer is a coffin.

Hey, how about "soul" as an alternate answer? Would that work?

No, I don't think so... 
But some people "sell" their souls.. Maybe it doesn't fit well, but I like it

But he who buys it has a use for it: torment.

He who makes a coffin needs it to be sold to a user (or the user's family)
He who buys a coffin needs it to bury a relative.
But I agree, he who needs a coffin is presumed dead.
