I think all us women should think about putting our slippers and underwear on ebay. If these pervy men are going to pay stupid money for them then why not!
Think I may walk to the shop in my slippers now, it will make them look extra destroyed.

In essence then, you are providing a sexual service in return for money.

Isn't there another term for that?!

seriously considering digging out my old spotty TU slippers and sticking them on Ebay... As an experiement of course! They have even come apart at the seam on one side leaving a nice "convenience hole" for anyone who's interested! LOL there are quite a few websites & legite business's offering bundles of used undergarments online...

Bizzare world that we live in!

I do worry about these 'harmless' joke type auctions and whether people really understand the implications.

Firstly of course many parents allow their children to browse on ebay, do you want them exposed to the sex industry when you think they are merely browsing Tonka toys?

Secondly I don't think a lot of women realise how vulnerable people in the trade are, for a start your address and phonenumber will be available to any buyer..so if someone gets yiour 'nudge nudge wink wink' auctions and decides to pay you a visit would you be happy when your child opens the door.

I am not a prude but i believe we need the right things to be kept in the right place. Ebay is not the right place for women who see the sex industry as an easy way of getting a few pounds, it can end very badly . Leave it to the sites that offer sellers more protection and allow you to hide behind false identities, and leave it to people who can emotionally handle this trade.

Good comments there. Maybe im wrong, but im sure in the past I read that people werent allowed to sell items such as "used" knickers on ebay and ebay banned such listings. But, from the links on this thread it looks like maybe I was mistaken?

Otherwise, there would be millions to be made here. 5 thongs for £1 from the pound shop and stick them straight on ebay for pervy buyers to buy?

Used underwear is specifically forbidden on ebay and anything used for fetish or for sexual gratification is also banned. However people will always chance it, but they get caught, have their accounts suspended and start up again with new details. A lot of the sellers also put email addresses and even phone numbers on the listings so that they have a client base already built up for when they get banned.

For every woman doing it for a laught there are probably an equal number of people who are already engaged in the sex industry. That is why it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, how does a buyer who might be desperate to feed his fetish know the difference, they might think they are dealing with a professional when they just have a stay at home mum with children on the other end of the phone.

It's not fair, women get all the perks
I would never achieve the same success if I offered my pairs of old boxers.

Dammit, and I just dumped all my excess linen in the recycle bid which included some old pairs of boxers
