eBay Bans Sales of Virtual Items From Online Games

eBay has begun to remove all auctions for virtual items from online games ranging from "World of Warcraft" to "Neopets" because of concerns over the legal complexity around their sale.
eBay spokesperson Hani Durzy compared it to alcohol and tobacco - eBay bans the sale of those products on its site due to complex issues surrounding their sale on the Internet.

The auction brought about 200 people to a warehouse about 15 miles west of New York.
