Turtle eggs can be incubated in certain temps to guarantee a certain sex. This method isn't 100%, but it can be done. I don't remember the temps. It's possible that you do know the sexes of your turtles, but I wouldn't count on it. Those internet sites are out there to make a buck and by the time you find out that you have the wrong sex, they aren't going to do anything about it.

Yeah, I had read that about incubating turtle eggs at 85 degrees F (I think) for a female. However, the article I read said something to the effect of the chances are "higher" for a female but not guaranteed.
