    Ah the pitfalls of erotic sales, just remember he can get your address and phone number from ebay if he bids..so be careful which phone number you list in case any youngsters in the house answer the phone.

    It might be worth investing in a cheap phone with a PAYG sim so that you have a valid phone number if ebay check, but you can keep the phone turned off and never answer it.

    You can even get a free PAYG, most networks will give you a sim card free. (O2, T-mobile and vodafone i think you can just order from their website)

    I would not have the landline number or my own mobile on file.

    How do you collect payment for any extra pics you send? Is it via Paypal? Is so, did you set up a separate Paypal account? Thanks

    Ebay states they will only accept a landline number and they call you there and then to verify the account.

    Yeah Jazzie, I used a new email & paypal acct. Although, I don't expect mine to go for much - after having a look at the sellers of the £285 and then the £300 shoes above, I'm pretty sure there are 'extras' included that we don't know about :eek: - have a look at their 'about me' pages.

    hiya geri - no, not within the ebay rules for photo charging, thats why i set up a g00glemail email account. This was any buyers who had "any other questions" .....i got lots of questions asking if i could take more photos of me toes/feet/shoes and thought "what the heck i could make some pennies here"......

    Each to their own. I personally find the idea of some pervy old man getting himself off to a picture of my feet to be pretty repulsive.
