Magic Online de retour sur eBay

What is eBay's policy for selling digitally delivered goods and items?
The policy for the US is as follows. Digital items are restricted on eBay. In order to list digital items, the seller must comply with the following requirements:

• Any digitally delivered item may not be pornographic in nature
• The seller must be the owner of the underlying intellectual property, or authorized to distribute it by the intellectual property owner
• The seller's item may not include software that harms the buyer's machine (e.g., a virus) or uses it for malicious or unauthorized purposes (e.g., sending spam emails or spreading a virus) or violates the buyer's privacy (e.g., spyware, cookies) (per the HTML and JavaScript policy - http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...avascript.html )
• To help verify the identity of sellers listing digital downloadable items, eBay requires that sellers be PayPal Verified (www.paypal.com/verify)

Listings of digital items that violate any of these requirements are in violation of this policy.

Il avait été annoncé qu'une exception serait faite pour Second Life dont la commercialisation d'objets électroniques est un des composants du jeu, et on se demandait alors si Magic Online serait lui aussi épargné. Les premiers actes d'eBay laissaient à penser que non : les mises en ventes de cartes et de tickets (la monnaie utilisée en jeu) étaient supprimées régulièrement, faisant disparaître les centaines d'offres habituellement présentes. eBay étant le site principal utilisé par la communauté de Magic Online, celle-ci se rabatta vers des solutions de secours, telles que des boutiques non-officielles.

Le 25 février, plusieurs acheteurs recurent ce courriel d'eBay, laissant à penser qu'un changement de politique était intervenu :

You recently had placed a bid on item number(s):

50 * MTGO Magic Online TIX EVENT TICKETS x 50

which had been removed by eBay. After review of this listing, we have found that it was removed in error.

As a result, we have informed the seller that they may relist their item if they wish to do so. Please feel free to re-bid on this item under the new item number.

Ce fut confirmé aujourd'hui va un courriel publié sur le forum officiel MTGO :

Dear eBay Member,

Thank you for writing eBay with your question.

We have reviewed our virtual item policy regarding Magic the Gathering Online items and it was decided to make an exception for them and allow them to be listed at this time.

Thank you for using eBay for your online trading needs.

Sincerely,

Dermot
eBay Customer Support

Et en effet, il est possible de constater que les ventes relatives à MTGO sont de retour sur eBay. Bons achats et bonnes ventes à tous !
