    I found her listings while looking for school clothes for my children, I think that is why it shocked me so much.
    She also has her "worn teen school bra" for sale. Thats not right.

    Maybe I'm more sensitive as my friends daughter was sexually assaulted recently while walking home from school. These sorts of listings are saying that young girls are sexual prey.
    This girls me page, makes it quite clear that she is selling to the sex market.
    My worn stuff, some of it smells, LOL!!!
    BUT I PROMISE U'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE & ENJOY GETTING TO KNOW ME :-) If there's something particular u'd like to know
    She's not aiming this at the parents who need to replace their kids uniform.

    not very tasteful i think,e-bay should look into it.but at the same time what is to stop an underage person buying anything sex related on e-bay,most young people all have their own bank accounts and if not can pay by postal order

    Although the listing may break ebay rules and be distasteful, just to play devils advocate here - Britney Spears dressed as a sexually provocative schoolgirl (as do many pop stars) and made millions out of it. Nobody suggested adults watching her videos or buying her records should be locked up as perverts.

    The media is absolutely awash with a tidal wave of sexualised images of underage children, and just look at any of the sexually provocative clothing you can buy these days for kids(!) - I find that far more disturbing for the future of our society than a listing such as this.

    Just because a lot of people do it, it doesn't mean that we should now say its ok.

    On top of that, Britney is an adult with paid brawn to keep her 'safe'. This 'child' has potentially risked her personal information. This worries me more than what she is selling.

    I'm in agreement that that ebay listing is extremely dodgy and should be removed.

    However, my wife is an HR amin. She's obviously over 18. Can't help wondering if "Worn secretary skirt" would get a bit of cash... :idea:
