eBay To Delist Virtual Items

The well-known auction site eBay has recently made a policy decision that may throw these assumptions into a different light. Following up on a rumour that’s been going around I spoke today with a media representative for the company, who confirmed that eBay is now delisting all auctions for ‘virtual artifacts’ from the site. This includes currency, items, and accounts/characters; not even the ‘neopoints’ used in the popular Neopets service is exempt from this decision.

I am one of those weirdos who is completely for this action, as I hate virtual item sales and fully believe that they ruin games to a good extent. This kind of thing has been going on for years and year though, so what made eBay step up to the plate all of a sudden?
