    From 29th April, we’ll be banning all goods that can be digitally downloaded or transferred electronically from being listed in any format on eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie. We’re doing this to prevent bad experiences and preserve the integrity of the Feedback system.
    While they are a small portion of the marketplace, listings for digital goods often lead to bad experiences for our buyers and contribute to a perception that eBay allows unauthorised or illegitimate items to be sold on the marketplace, such as electronic copies of books.
    Unfortunately, these goods also create the potential for Feedback manipulation as they are often reproduced and then bought and sold at little or no cost to the seller and buyer.
    This new policy will come into effect on 29th April 2008. We encourage any sellers who think they will be affected to read the Downloadable Media policy and review their listings accordingly.
    Regards,
    The eBay Team

    means you'll have to pay postage costs to get the live\points cards delivered.
    so while they'll probably be bit more expensive and take longer to get they should still be cheaper than buying off MS or a shop.
    Title is probably a little sesnationalist....:p

    It's good for cheap points.

    Although €26 for a 12+1 subscription is a great deal! Does the seller have anything similar for points?

    Off topic: that Bill Hick's quote is ace!
