    In all honesty, I think her knickers are hidden under her belly

    Nah, can't be as she sold them . . . see:

    She appears to have some regular customers as well . . .

    That is so wrong! Why do eBay even allow listings of well worn items, filthy!
    I'm not sure how they'd be able to stop it, unless they stopped selling used clothes. If they used a bot to stop words such as 'soiled' or 'well worn' that would inevitably knock out other items. I haven't clicked on this link but if people want to buy it and they're 'happy' with it then why stop it. I wouldn't have thought it was that easy to find.

    As I said on an earlier thread I'd be happier with less Ebay intervention, I don't want to be paying extra fees to stop some herbert selling dirty knickers.

  • These sorts of things are certainly not my cup of tea but I don't think they're really doing any harm. Tbh though, I don't think policing sales of dirty knickers would have any effect on eBay fees: they will continue to charge whatever they think they can get away with, while skimping on customer service.

    Because there is a market for them and they make money from it maybe? ;)

    If I thought I could get some money for my manky worn out old slippers, I'd probably put them on there as well ;) haha. But I'm sure the men who buy them want more than just your manky slippers, probably a few dodgy photos slipped in there as well. If I started selling my old stocking and tights on there though, I could make a fortune, even selling for 99p :D as I've been saving them up for years to make another draught excluder :rotfl:

    Yuk! Just clicked on the other items they are selling including well worn flip flops (she spells them flip floops!) and worn tights!


    How could anyone say those 'flip floops' are well loved? Not just loved, but 'well loved'. That's something you might say about someone who has died, not a pair of manky footwear!

    I'd be embarrassed putting those in my wheelie bin incase the bin men saw them.:D

    When she says good luck, I think you're meant to take that literally, as God knows what the winning bidder might pick up from them - eww!

    Are sisters a brand of tights, or are they actually selling their sister's tights? :p

    LOL I found the 'sisters tights' one abit weird as well. Maybe their sister wants in on the action, but doesn't want to actually use her own account for it lol.

    I've read some really strange ads on the 'trashed' section. One in particular disturbed me, when it was selling some slippers I think it was, that were disgusting looking, and the woman made out that her teenage daughter had been wearing them as she loved them so much. I'm assuming the fact that she mentioned her 'teenage' daughter wearing them as well, was meant to be more of a selling point for the pervs out there. Made me feel a bit sick. She probably doesn't even have a teenage daughter, but even if she did, what mother would want perverts doing whatever with her daughters slippers. Ugh!

    None of her items seem to be good sellers do they (no surprises + her pics are rubbish and she's listed in the wrong subcategory lol) they've all been relisted multiple times.

    Can't say it bothers me I think it's rather sad and pathetic. It's the ones I've seen (normally via forum links) that have included stuff about them belong to peoples teenage or "school girl" daughter is a bit sick IMHO, Not that I believe it's true, just that it's not a nice angle to use to market stuff to perverts. :(
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    Dare I ask what you were searching for when this popped up? ;D

    That is so funny. I second pimento's question though:)

    Haha nothing fun I assure you, it was shown to me by someone else. Must ask what they were looking for though!
