You can sell cosmetic items. You can't sell things that give an advantage over other players.
Be aware though I'm talking about real world currency. If your system is solely in game money, you can sell whatever you wish. You cannot, however, sell in game currency for real world.

Ok, but how come there are loads of popular servers which sell kits/commands. TheArchon for example, they have ranks where you get kits and also commands look: http://shop.thearchon.net/category/766629 . They also sell crate keys where you can in stuff in it like money, and more, is that allowed?
They're trying to skirt the EULA by saying that they are selling a chance to get those things. It's technically not a violation, I suppose. The rank quests make more legit sense because IIRC from Notch's post, it's OK to sell game changing features but only if everyone gets it. Since their rank quests can be won by another player than the purchaser, I can see where they may fit into the grey area. Crate keys are definitely pushing it. Also, just because you can get away with something at the moment doesn't mean it's legit. I routinely break the speed limit on the highway.. haven't had a ticket in years, but that doesn't mean it's legal now

Ok, thanks for all the help, so it is fine for me to sell ranks as long as they are cosmetic. One last question, is giving people extra holmes/plots allowed in ranks?
Hello, I want to setup a server where you can buy stuff. Please could someone list the things I am allowed to and am not allowed to sell.
