If you're looking for a spell to aid you on your next adventure, then you're sorely out of luck. The great and powerful Internet auction house eBay banned all sales of wizardly enchantments and magic spells, even if you have a vacuum cleaner's worth of gold to offer.

The company knows not what it does, unaware that the hour of the dragons grows near. Not only has eBay banned the sale of spells, but also prohibited is the sale of potions. Yes, that even includes the +2 Potion of Dragonslaying... the fools! Psychic readings are now forbidden as well — your knights will no longer have the confidence of entering into battle with their victory guaranteed by a seer, nor will your anteater be able to tell you the outcome of the NBA finals for a price.

All of the changes are listed in the 2012 Fall Seller Update, effective Aug. 30. So heed my warning, traveler. Seek higher ground and spread this knowledge; for eBay has doomed this place. And know that after the dragons destroy this land, there is still hope — we can still buy a new medieval village to live in via eBay.
