No offence, and this is all very well and good, but your point is?
I assume CCP has enough ISK (the real stuff) laying about to create some dummy eBay accounts, win a few auctions, and perma-ban those responsible.
Incidentally, anyone selling something that is free anyways, deserves a ban.

...as long as they are made with ISK, I have no problem with them, nor do I accept that they necessarily constitute an unfair advantage, as the ISK needed to buy a character is not easy to come by for most players. Most importantly, it's allowed and not the issue here. The same goes with timecard sales.
I fear that if CCP manages to push RMT (thanks Rod) issues out of the game, we will just end up with a growing 'timecardBay.com' industry. As long as real money can be exchanged for in-game currency by some method or another.
What's to stop me selling 100m ISK for a 90-day timecard. Using that timecard myself. [bear with me] Then at a later date, buying a Raven with a seperate 90-day timecard? RMT it still exchanged for game items.

Having looked at a few autions on eBay, I decided to send the sellers a link to this thread, and to the dev blog. Two of the responses claimed ignorance, claiming they did not know it was in breach of the EULA. The third? Well, here is their response:
Quote:
Hi,
As the listing indicates, it is the time that I spend playing the game that people are paying for... There is no agreement as far as I'm aware that says I cannot sell my time to those who are willing to pay for it. My listings are for a service.
Regards
The same owner of one of your beloved "do not bid for this if you are an employee of CCP, you are only paying for the time I spent getting these items." yada.

New sport: Use the 'Ask the seller a question' feature on eBay, pointing people to this thread and dev blog.
Responses so far have been great, some downright hostile, and some clearly admitting that they sell goods and characters on eBay in order to support themselves RL.
