    Are they new or second hand?
    Yuk!
    That's gross. 🤮 🤢
    I find the more recent rules and FAQs harder to actually find and browse so may well be out of date.

    It used to be that the adult category was strongly policed by ebay, with businesses needing to provide additional information before being given permission to sell, and then only brand new sealed items allowed. I can't believe the new requirement will have changed since ebay UK is so very strict about 'hygiene' in other areas.

  • I don't understand why people would be reluctant to provide feedback. It doesn't identify the person by name or contact details so what's the big deal ?

    I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy second-hand sex toys so I think the post I replied to was tongue-in-cheek.
    But still gross.

    I think it's feedback fatigue , even I'm fed up of continually being asked for every company and every site I use asking for feedback.

    I've got a lot of purchases that I haven't left feedback for yet - I'm in no hurry I'll do it later if I remember. As for my own sales I haven't really worked out what my feedback in percentage is, possibly as low as 1 in 3 people leaving it. It doesn't bother me in the least though as I sell for money and profit, not for feedback.
