Looks like she's amended her listings slightly as there's no mention of "smells" and it says items will be washed and clean.

Interestingly though - of 8 items sold - 7 of them are the same high bidder, who has previously only ever bid for things in uniforms, socks & tights and girls shoes!!!

Ridiculous prices though!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do feel sorry for some men, it seems that on the news, most rapists are men, most !!!!!philes are men etc. Then there are the lovely ones like you who care.
I just find it a bit worrying thats all and when I'm sat on a bus with a load of school girls/boys and what they talk about nowadays, theres no wonder there are listing things like this.
God I was so naive until I was 19, lol.

Theres every chance the advertiser is using a false identity in order to make money from perverts.
It's sad that some people will do just about anything for money.
It's true that most sex offenders are men, but this isn't the place for a debate on it - I think we need to get back to the context of E-Bay, and in that context, this sort of selling just isn't acceptable

I know Jim. I have loads of old socks etc, but I wouldn't dream of putting them on Ebay just to attract the wrong sort of person.
I just throw them away.
Maybe the seller is using a false identity. But it's the bidders who are the strangest.

Im very suprised that Ebay didnt remove her listings as they are so quick to remove others for minor things. Makes me very uneasy that there is a potential school aged child giving out her contact details to strangers .

Im not sure, do Paypal/Ebay have anyway of verifying your age though when you sign-up?

If someone under age gives a false DOB it is not checked by ebay or paypal.

There was a young woman on here selling her bras a few week ago, and she was told her listings were fine. But i am very surprised ebay have not clamped down on this one - as they are regularly removing ann summers type clothing, and thats adult fun - surely this is attracting people attracted to children.

Always found the concept of men fancying women dressed as children a bit creepy myself. I mean - why would you?

I suspect the user is an adult buying cheap school clothing to put on and then sell at a profit - or its old school uniform that was never discarded. But how can we know for sure?

Exactly my thoughts too.

Ive no issue with those that sell their used bras as long as they are not under-age school girls each to their own and all that, my concern is the young lady selling used PE kit ,just how old is she? I read her about me page and it read like a young girl had wrote it. I guess we will never know though
