Where Can I Sell Items Ebay Won't Allow??

rbrady1

Hiya

I've got my hands on quite a few brand new in packaging 'Rampant Rabbit' style vibrators Obviously Ebay won't allow me to list them and I don't fancy standing there blushing at a carboot selling them or putting them in the local paper and having people turn up at the house to buy sex toys!! So the question is... where can you suggest I sell them? Are there any Ebay type websites where I could list them? Having just had a baby, I can't think of anything worse than keeping them and could do with some spare cash.

Thanks in advance

I've seen them for sale on Ebay, I might add it was when I was trying to search for a replacement Mothercare rabbit for my son. If you're polite in the description, will they not allow it? There's some weird pervy stuff on there which is far more offensive!!

I just looked it up, and "adult only" items not necessarily prohibited but are "questionable", though it would appear that only items which could be considered pornographic are banned:

eBay does not permit the listing of erotica or sexually oriented materials.

What is considered adult or "sexually oriented" material?

"Adult" or "sexually-oriented" material includes, but is not limited to:

Any visual representation of human genitals presented in such a manner as to suggest sexual activity.
Any visual representation of any form of sexual intercourse.
Any materials clearly designed to sexually arouse the viewer/reader.
Any items which, because of their nature or because of the item description, appear to be designed for use in sexual/adult activity.
Any items which depict human sexual characteristics in a degrading fashion.
Any item that portrays frontal nudity will normally be treated as "adult" material, with limited exceptions as set out below.
Any images of nude children, including any vintage images. Recognizing that images of nude children often raise legal concerns, eBay has made a policy decision that it will not permit the listing of any item that depicts nude minors (under 18 years of age). Listings of such material, even if described as nude "teens", "children", "youngsters" or "nudist" are not permitted.
Any items depicting bestiality, rape sex, incest, sadism, masochism or sex with graphic violence or degradation.
Any items which suggest the availability of any form of prostitution or sexual relationship, including "virtual" boyfriends or girlfriends.
In considering whether to end such items, we consider the overall content of the listing, including pictures and text. For example, if an item description leads us to believe the content of the listing or the item is adult in nature as defined by this policy, we will end that item. Blocking the "risqué" parts of an image will not exempt the item from these standards.

Please note that the same standards apply to all media, including but not limited to magazines, videos, drawings, paintings, photographs, sculpture, carvings, and comics, both still and animated.

What is not considered "adult" or "sexually oriented" material?

Material that is not considered "adult" or "sexually oriented" includes but is not limited to material which is a small and insignificant part of a catalogue, book, periodical, or other work which is not, as a whole, primarily devoted to sexual matters.

This incorporates, but is not necessarily limited to, pieces of artwork that may be considered fine art, such as certain paintings, carvings, figurines and other similar materials. Other examples include Michelangelo's David, certain (but not all) vintage pinup art, a renaissance-style painting of a nude female, and paintings like Raphael's, or nude cherubs in the form of human infants.

Can't you describe it as a rampant rabbit massager?

'Massager' is what people call vibrators to try to get round the rules. I don't think ebay are stupid enough to buy it ;-)

Am I right in thinking ebay.com permits adult items?

There is an adult orientated auction site somewhere, I'll take a look and if I can find it I'll post the URL.

(The things I do for MSE!)

Well, as a cloth nappy user I've come across some shockers when looking for specific nappy items - including a 'lady' who had a picture of herself in some interesting clothing offering an adult nappy and a session in her 'dungeon'. If you can put that on ebay I don't see a problem with a vibrator!

The problem is that both vibrators and dodgy women are disallowed on ebay. The dodgy lady probably reckons on getting business before she gets caught and uses a throw away account, the OP is more likely to want to hang on to her ebay account. :eek:

The following sites will allow adult items:

http://www.ebare.co.uk/
http://www.naughtybids.com/

I haven't checked any of the terms and conditions or whether they are UK or not though, so beware.

Ah yes, I suppose it would be really easy to keep getting new ebay accounts and email addresses. Also I suspect ebay aren't going out of their way to stop that kind of thing.

Thanks everyone, I'll hopefully be able to get rid of them soon

I wouldn't think of them as offensive put in the right context. I've seen people selling themselves on there and such like!?
