eBay has told Slashdot.org that it is clamping down on the sale and auction of items, characters, cash and accounts from virtual gaming worlds like EverQuest and World Of Warcraft – but Second Life has been given an exemption from the policy.
eBay’s Hani Durzy told the website that the web company has been removing offending auctions for just over a month, explaining that the action has been taken because of legal complexities surrounding property rights issues.
However, a spokesperson for eBay told Betanews.com that items from Second Life wouldn’t be affected by the policy, because the company has reconsidered what constitutes a ‘game’.
Last year, Anshe Chung became the first person top use Second Life to become a real world millionaire, after selling off her in-world ‘Linen Dollars’ for real US Dollars.
