NICK DOUGLAS — The only auction site that matters is now delisting all auctions for virtual goods from the site, according to Slashdot.

"This generation that grew up on video games is blurring the lines between games and real life," he told BusinessWeek in May. Guess blurring doesn't count when eBay's money is on the line.
