Online auction
eBay announced the termination of taking as lots of virtual values such as swords, helmets and armor from various online games.

Game Life blog writes, is that legal activities always arise with such activities — for example, it is not known who actually owns the rights to property.
This is really reasonable. If, for example, the publisher of MMO games decides that players selling their armor and other items of virtual luxury violate the rules, then eBay may have a headache.
