For a community like Second Life that might be feasible as exchanges are permissable. However with any MMORPG, like World of Warcraft sale of in game commodities violates the EULA, read illegal within that realm. It's not something that's enforceable. If I traffic illicit narcotics into the USA, I'm NOT going to report it for tax. Really now. If the IRS hopes to make much money taxing WoW items on ebay, there's no surer way of killing that kind of transaction as the GM's will catch wind of it and ban to all hell.
