can you sell underwear on ebay

I was reading a post on here the other day about somebody who was selling some used trashed trainers and had bids lol and checking other things people had been selling i came across underwear worn:eek: and people modelling them. My question is the underwear was getting some good prices and now i'm wondering is it worth doing myself lol. We are desperately saving for a conservatory so every little helps lol. only problem is i dont have the best body in the world after having my kids so are people just buying the ( fit ) birds lol as my partner would say. I have loads of unworn lingerie. Has anyone tried this. thanks:p

    Like cyberbob says these sellers rarely last too long on ebay and once you get banned form one account you can't open or use any other.

    There are other websites where it is allowed but do think it through first as buyers have access to your name and address and in some instances your phone number, obviously you might be comfortable with that but be aware just in case.

    They can at any time request other users details and that usually gives them area and name as well as a working telephone number. If for instance your telephone number was false your account is likely to be suspended until you confirm a valid one with ebay.

    Also you'll fine that most adult orientated sites don't openly use paypal without some sort of code, that's because paypal will close down accounts where they believe it is being used for adult purposes. That really leaves you on other sites with postal orders to your home address.

    Also you can have games on the site - Like online strip poker but the looser has to send the used underware to the winner..... lol :)

    There have been lots some by professional industry workers but most by amateurs The main problem remains the payment, just how do you take payment without disclosing your own personal details, and of course taking payment on behalf of your users is entering a whole new problem area.
