Hackers and eBay sellers have found an easy way to make money amid the Animal Crossing: New Horizons boom – selling in-game money, bells, and high demand items on eBay.

It is unclear whether Nintendo will take action against these listings, but they have every right to ban Nintendo Accounts that break the terms of use, which prohibit such behavior.
