Bids coming in steadily for eBay tuition auction
Oklahoma Wesleyan University’s auction on eBay for a full year of tuition, room and board began with much enthusiasm on Sunday evening.The first bid came in at $500 and before the end of Monday, bidding was over $7,000. Those who visited the eBay site on Tuesday morning were probably surprised to see the bidding at $1,825.
The drop in bidding numbers was explained on the site. OWU started the auction over again at one penny after some technical issues on the eBay site, which have now been resolved.Because the auction was started over, the length of the auction will now be extended. The auction will now run until Feb. 13, OWU Executive Vice President Bob Myers said.

eBay turns its back on virtual sellers, Britain
Exactly who owns virtual game items that can be acquired, sold and exchanged online is a real-world ambiguity that has forced eBay.co.uk into action.Speaking yesterday, the auctioneer told Contractor UK that it no longer allows the sale of virtual items from internet games such as World of Warcraft and EverQuest.
An eBay spokesperson said synthetic objects from such titles like game characters, currency and points present too much of "legal complexity" to be permitted.The move follows warnings from unhappy publishers of MMORPG titles that they take a dim view of individuals, and presumably supporting websites, that sell their "in-game property."Blizzard, makers of World of Warcraft, have urged players not to trade in virtual items outside the realm of Azeroth, and have already shut down 1,000 gamers who refused to comply.

Microsoft Claims Popular eBay Merchant Is A Software Pirate
Microsoft is suing an eBay "power seller" with more than 2,000 successful transactions on the online auction site for allegedly selling counterfeit versions of some of Microsoft's best-selling applications and labeling them with fake certificates of authenticity.
In the lawsuit, Microsoft accuses Donald Collins, a Mount Prospect, Ill., resident whose eBay name is ChicagoComputerBroker, of counterfeiting and auctioning off a range of Microsoft applications, including Excel 2003, Outlook 2003, PowerPoint 2003, and Word 2003. Microsoft also accuses Anne Collins, a Chicago resident who operates on eBay as irish5025, of participating in the alleged scheme.
The suit was filed last week in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Microsoft is seeking unspecified damages against both defendants.
