Ebay banning virtual items sales
Do people have way to much time on their hands or what? But Ebay have been forced to imposed bans on auctions of virtual items from online games such as EverQuest. For years, players have sold virtual items that can give an edge. Ebay has decided to ban non tangable products like these because of the possible legal ramifications and disputes caused. Apparently the virtual game items, which can be swapped between players technically under the software licence for such games would still be the property of game manufacturer so making money from the sale of a virtual component of a game may well in breach of the end user agreement or software licence.
