well worn items on ebay

If you get the right type of buyer for these items, then the person they came from is not an issue, its not the person that they are interested in, its the items.

The people that are into these types of fetishes are not wierdos, sex pests or anything like that, they just have something that they like, and look for a source for it.

The boots that I sold went to a guy that liked the pictures of them, he couldn't see much else of me in the pictures, but it was the boots he wanted and he didn't give a fig if I was modelling them nude or whatever, he just wanted the boots.

Another guy I know is in to trampling, he doesn't care what the girl looks like, or what she wears, just as long as the shoes she is wearing to 'work' in do the job.

Just a thought, I know it seems a really funny way to sell off old shoes & slippers, BUT doesn't the winning bidder get your address & phone number.
Just a thought & word of caution if they are buying it because of a fetish about something you have worn.

It is a risk as some people are very nice but others can be a little weird. I used to get some really odd questions and emails and I only sold sci fi stuff which is usually a male area.

On the wannabbe debt free thread I suggested a new email address would be needed if selling in this area just so you can filter out the quetsions that make you uneasy.

I have a really well worn pair of uggs,I dont wanna thro them out as i just love them..but would i be warened if i put them on? I would rather sell billions normal things than risk being taken off for those!!

It depends, it is only other users that report you so there is no knowing who is watching the listings. If you sell them as a straight auction, ie no hint of any fetish about them then you will probably be fine.

I think the key thing to not having your listing removed is to state that the item will be cleaned in line with eBay standards prior to dispatch

That can be seen as a euphamism for 'no it won't', this are is really a minefield honest!

Got a pair of Next stilletto's i might throw on eBay :rotfl:

I dont think you'll get reported if you say you'll clean them to eBays standards before dispatching. Let us know how you get on if you decide to go ahead with it

Absolutely but I wouldn't think eBay could have you for using such a thing

I don't know...wouldn't do it personally, imagine the types you'd get emailing...eurgh

Regards the Ugg boots - try it, not sure Ugg boots would be the most desirable of shoes though, thought the fetish was more for stilettos
