  • More brain bleach needed! (again, content warning)

    Subject-wise, these aren't as bad as my last post, but I have to suffer through them a lot more. Why do sellers insist on doing this crap?

    We have an 'Adult Only' section for a reason!

    Why do you idiot sellers INSIST on putting your porn DVDs in the general categories?

    I can see it being your first time trying to list an adult item like a Playboy or "Girls Gone Wild" DVD and not being aware of the Adult Only section, it's not exactly being advertised on the main page. But when we remove these, our emails tell you how to list your items in the correct category! Yet here you are, muliple removals in the past few months for listing DVDs such as "Buttplug Babes" and "Queens of Gangbang" <not actual titles, the real ones were far worse> in the same category that people list their Disney movies. Yes, you need to be over 18 to bid on or sell things, but there's a lot of people that shop on the site with their kids. I really HATE dealing with irate parents, especially when they have legitimate complaints like this. It just makes me want to suspend you even more, so it's in your best interest to follow policy and list in the correct category... mmmk?

    Then there's the foot fetish people... I really have no problem if feet are your thing or if you're just trying to make a quick buck by appealing to those that do, but do you really have to include a dozen pictures of items that are so filthy most people wouldn't go near it without a hazmat suit??? I mean seriously, most people don't want to see pictures of socks that look like you've spent the day at a dog park when they're looking for a new pair of shoes! Also, most of the people that are going to be looking in the "Women's Clothing" category are going to be <drumroll> WOMEN!!! If you want to take pictures of you "modeling" the shoes, you can at least wear underwear.

    And you men listing your used shoes and socks - we can tell that it isn't a finger in the picture.

    Used underwear

    Yes, you read that right! I see this all the time. For many, many reasons, including hygiene, used underwear isn't allowed on the site, even in the Adult Only section. (Yes, there are ways around it, but that's irrelevant to this post.)

    Why do people insist on going into explicit detail about how "well worn" or even "soiled" their underwear is? I mean, yuck!

    And then they think that a little disclaimer about "washing" them will keep us from removing it...

    The worst one was the used "edible undies"...

          Hey guys, does anyone know how much a midget servant would go for on Ebay?

          or the legalities of betting someone that they can kill me for my vast fortune?

          or how about, how do I make Hell Houses get in trouble?

          Ah Randy you have said so much for all of us.

            It occurs to me, the non-seller of such items, that should I want to achieve the best price for said items, the best place to list them is where the most people who might be interested in purchasing said items would be looking. Not that I shop for porn online, but if I did, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be clicking the Disney area to seek out my hot Asian love DVDs.

            I can only therefore assume that these listings are not an attempt to sell said items at all. It is simple titillation at listing a porn DVD in with Disney and the imagination of what the kiddies who undoubtedly use the site despite the 18+ rule will think when they oh so innocently stumble across it.

            Sick, sick freaks.

              Pretty much sums up my reaction to that.

                *blink, blink* Were they 'pre-eaten for your pleasure'?
                Did the seller then regurgitate them into a Ziploc baggie to sell to you?

                  Uhh i think what it means is that they were worn to umm, "add flavour" and so the buyer can eat them? :|

                  sorry for my horrendous spelling; English is my first language, and I'm not dyslexic. I'm just shite at spelling

                    I remembered checking out a book about eBay, and it was mostly history and people's stories about selling/buying on ebay. On the jacket of the book there was a intro. to a titalating story about selling porn or something on ebay, but I couldn't find the story in the book.
                    Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

                    Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

                    I wish porn had subtitles.

                      Why would people want to sell their adult items in the other categories?

                      In my experience, adult stuff sells damn well in the adult section ... because, *gasp* that's why they're there in the first place!



                      What I don't understand is why people use the half nekkid ladies to sell their item. Yeah, you think that babe in the bikini will sell your toaster, just because she's holding near her boobs? Think again ... you just lose yourself a potential customer ... I'll go over to this seller and spend a dollar or two more ...



                      A co-worker of mine was looking through the Harley Davidson t-shirts. She just likes to browse. She came across a seller who had this poor little tank top stretched across a very, VERY busty plastic display torso. Whatever happened to just hanging it on a hanger?

                        We keep getting told that the adult section is by far the most profitable category on eBay, but management HATES even having it on the site, which is why they make it so hard to find most of the time.

                        As for the pics... to get more people to click on the listing... primarily the guys...

                        There was one seller (not sure if he's still around or not) that sold very high-end microscopes and other lab equipment. Every one of his pictures had a totally nude woman posing behind the equipment with the equipment just barely covering up the naughty bits so he didn't violate any policies. As I recall, almost all of his stuff ended up selling.

                        I've also seen listings targeted at women and gay men that had lots of pictures of "beefcakes" in the listings to get more views.

                        Just gotta know your target audience.

                          I must find this adults section of ebay when I start making/selling stuff again.

                            So what are you going to make that needs to be sold in the adult section?
