    Sorry peeps! I've actually called the eBay tonight and the guy on the phone didn't seem to be 'too bothered' about it. It's only when I reiterated about 3 times that it is quite a sexual picture used for advertising 3-4 and 5-6 children's clothing and that the image used was severely inappropriate that he kind of agreed. However, he said that's it's a different department that has to deal with this and that he'll report it from his end too. Here's hoping it'll be removed soon so we no longer have to put up with that image following us!

    Well done you.

    Maybe we should have just reported it to the police.

    I've screen shot the front page & the address & phone details.
    But I can't find a way to alert the police online so I can upload photos.

    Our regional police has a Facebook page which we can send messages to. Maybe worth searching for one in Manchester area?

    oh great, I viewed this not knowing what it was. I hope I dont get pop up adds now with this kind of picture, mrs generous might be wondering what on earth I've been looking at.

    My brother told me ages ago that Japanese men buy doll toys dressed as - well, sexy schoolgirls. Like the darn image. Apparently socially acceptable thing in Japan. Mind you just tried to look it up and can't find anything so he might have been bull******* me.
