wakka102 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm not sure if this is new news or not :-s E-bay has banned the sales of "virtual" items (Runescape gold, items, etc.). Any that are added will be delisted. I think this is awesome, one step closer to abolishing this issue. However, there are still tons of other sites out there for selling. This only destroys part of the issue. Thoughts? comments? praises? rants? cheese? discuss :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron1120 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Finally, its about time they start putting an end to this. Still there are a bunch of that sell Runescape accounts and gold. Jagex still has to work harder to put a final end to this. < | Runehead | Learning Java Programming, Please PM Me Tips | Signature by Loaf2000 | > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeo Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Doesn't stop them :/. Here, check out a common scam. (They sell a joke, and it *"magically"* comes with gold, items, account information.)

anonymouse_ Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I bet ebay wasn't even the primary site of RS sales. After all, it's crawling with Jagex mods; or at least until now it was. It's not like this move will abolish all RS sales; it will simply move them to illegal sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakka102 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Jagex can never put an end to it completely, However, they can thin out its numbers by getting it banned on all the main auction and selling sites. As well as assembling a team to track down sites and removing them. Doesn't stop them :/. Here, check out a common scam. (They sell a joke, and it *"magically"* comes with gold, items, account information.) (Link removed. Laikrob.) Joke as in a "haha funny" joke? if so, the person does no own the rights to the joke and therefore cannot sell it. This shouldn't be allowed either. However, if someone payed for rights to the joke...then I guess thats fine...But that might cost more then the account your selling :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes a "haha" joke.) And also, there is no way to prove that you made that joke, or it is copyrighted by someone else. So I am afraid that if Ebay can't find the joke online/copyrighted, then it's perfectly legal :? . Training my pure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malo2 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 well its a step. Now they can start cracking down on sites as well, and if sites for rl trading keep changing, then their clients wont be able to keep up. Lastfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackarch2 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 S***... There goes my ain source of IRL income #-o On Topic: I actually think it's wonderful that they finally took away IRL item trading.
