Selling on eBay now premitted?

[LevelingProject]

It would appear that Habbo Hotel Ltd are now allowing you to sell your furniture on eBay.

If you remember back, we were informed by Jibbi in 2002 that we would be banned if we did it, and then again in 2003 by Glitterkat that we would still be banned.

Throughout 2004 Jane (Jay) was constantly removing auctions that appeared on eBay.

For the past 3 months I have been watching over eBay, and ocationally selling my own furniture on there as I acuired too much.

It would appear that Jay is no longer removing the auctions and actually letting us bid on items, and buy items, thus allowing us to sell on eBay.

I did, however, notice that certain auctions are being removed. The only 3 I noticed that were removed in them 3 months were:

- Hobba Account
- HabboX Account
- 10 Dinos

So, what are you thoughts on this? Why are they allowing it? Doesn't it lead to more scams, but for real money?

You arnt allowed to sell any items from Habbo, which includes accounts and furni.

If it said "Habbo Hotel" in there already it would most likely be from a past search you did.

Selling anything Habbo related on eBay has never been allowed.

The furni is still Habbos' as per terms and conditions. That's there because eBay uses it's popular search strings to fill the listings.

I added that in for the screenshot, edited in afterwards.

What I am pointing out is the fact that Jay is no longer removing auctions that used to be removed, and they are being allowed to continue and end, thus allowing us to sell on eBay, in theory.

If you havn't noticed there are 3x as much furniture being sold, as people are finally realising that they make nothing out of staying on habbo, so they are quitting... but none the less it would be hard to get all the acutions taken down.

if people want to waste their money on pixels, let them I say. When they are earning their own money, things will change rather quickly.

Yeh, I took a look at the VeRo program, which is what they use, and it turns out you can only fax in 4 auction numbers at a time.

Now, last week there were 56 items being sold, imagine how much it'd cost to print, fax and write it all out. 56/4 = 14 sheets and 28 pieces of paper being sent to eBay. Each one having to be checked.

I suppose that's why they only remove certain, more valuable ones.

Afterall, eBay can not give out the IP, so Habbo can't ban you for anything outside of the Hotel, anyway.

But selling accounts is the least important as all they have to do is find an email linking to the account and then IP ban the user, or even easier if it's a hobba/habboX account all they have to do is look for different IP's left on the account.

Sulake have a team in the office dedicated to things like illegal sales on eBay.

And I follow Asher's point. A ten pound a week paperound may buy you a couple of thrones but when you get a job, a car and have to pay rent, let's see how things quickly change.

Yep, I believe that's how they caught Rumble.
