I don't think that's the case. I just sold 3x Dirt3 steam codes on there yesterday. There are plenty of them still going too. As for bitcoins being sold, I'm looking at completed auctions and there are 10 pages worth with about 75% being sold and the other part was just not priced right or was ended by the seller (most likely to sell outside ebay )
BTW. btcguild does that, nothing to worry about, it's still in your btcguild account.
Bitcoin auctions are against the rules on Ebay.
However, lots and lots of things are against the rules on ebay, so Ebay doesn't catch them all. If you were to report all of the current Bitcoin auctions on ebay for rule violations, every one of them would be removed. If the people holding the auctions put them back up and they got reported again, their accounts would very quickly end up getting banned.
So, people are now getting away with Bitcoin auctions on ebay because nobody is bothering to report most of them.
Those Dirt steam codes you mentioned are against the rules too. Here's the relevant policy: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/downloadable.html Basically, you CAN put things like bitcoins and digital downloads on ebay... but you have to sell them in the Classified Ads section, where it costs $10 to post but it doesn't do any good because there's no way to complete the auctions through ebay. It's like putting an ad up on craiglist. People can email you and the two of you arrange to complete the transaction on your own.
