You can, but if you get caught youll get a no-no letter in your message box. Grin

This is the letter i got.

"Hello ********,
After reviewing your eBay account, it appears that you have violated eBay's Digitally Delivered Goods policy. As a result, we've taken the following action on your account:
- Violating listings have been removed. A list of removed items is available further down in this email.
- We have credited all associated fees except for the final value fee for your listing(s).

Listing digitally delivered goods outside of the Classified Ad format in the Everything Else > Informational products category is not allowed.

The guidelines for digitally delivered goods help prevent feedback manipulation or artificial increases in eBay seller ratings. The guidelines also help protect members by preventing item listings that may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.

You can list most digitally delivered goods, but only if you use the Classified Ad format and list your item in the Everything Else > Information Products category.

Here's more information on our policy:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/downloadable.html

Virtual currency such as Bitcoin, Peercoin, Litecoin, and others, can only be listed in the Classified Ad format. Additionally, PayPal prohibits the transfer of funds for transactions related to virtual currency, therefore PayPal cannot be offered as a payment method for these items.

If you have more questions, contact our policy experts:
http://ocsnext.ebay.com/ocs/cusr?query=1387&domain=email1254

Please be sure your future listings follow these guidelines. If they don't, they may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including restrictions of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account. "

And after viewing the downloadable goods policy i found:

"Examples of digitally delivered goods that can't be advertised on eBay:
MP3 music copied from a CD you own or recorded at a concert
eBooks you don't own the copyright to and aren't authorized to resell by the owner, the owner's authorized agent, or the law
Songs you bought from iTunes
Movies you copied from DVDs you own
Video games you copied from the original CDs
PDF files of product manuals or user guides that you don't own the copyright of or you aren't authorized to resell by the owner, the owner's authorized agent, or the law
Online gaming accounts or artifacts such as characters, currency Wink

, or other items in any format"

Keyword being Currency if you haven't seen it. Roll Eyes

Not only that, but this is what Paypal has to say about things:

"Per our current Acceptable Use Policy for Money Service Businesses, PayPal may not be used to operate a currency exchange, bureau de change or check cashing business including the sale of Bit coin.

and the fact that:

"Its illegal to operate a currency exchange online or offline without proper registration as a money transmission business. This is the same statute under which the US bank accounts accounts of bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox were seized..."
