Do sinners still pay for indulgences?
Indulgences were never bought or sold. An indulgence is a remission of the temporal punishment due to sin given by the Church for good works. These can be obtained for oneself or for the souls in purgatory. The idea of buying and selling indulgences comes from the abuse of alms indulgences. Giving alms is a work of piety that is well looked upon in the Bible, so there was an indulgence for giving money for the poor or for certain religious purposes (like building a house of worship). These were abused in such a way as to create the impression among some people that one could pay away the temporal punishment due to sin. This was an illegitimate use of indulgences and in fact was a form of the sin of simony, so to stop this abuse the Church discontinued alms indulgences. In short, then, Catholics still do obtain indulgences. These indulgences, however, are not the discontinued alms indulgences but others of a different nature: indulgences for pilgrimages, group prayer, reading the Bible etc.

What was the job of the pardoner in medieval times?
A pardoner was a person who raised money for the church by selling indulgences and by getting offerings. The reason he was called a pardoner is that the indulgences were for pardoning peoples' sins. The pardoner prescribed penances for the sins confessed. Technically, the indulgences did not absolve people of sins they had not repented and confessed, so the modern view of people selling some sort of right to commit sins is not quite true.
