Good evening, this is the first time I’ve written here, so please forgive any shortcomings on my part. I sell vintage nude artistic photos (1850-1980), I strictly follow eBay’s rules and often ask support to clear up any doubts before listing the items. As clockwork, once a month dozens of my listings get closed for the following reasons (I’m copying and pasting the eBay message): "We had to remove your listing because it did not comply with our Prohibited Adult Items Policy. The sale of unauthorized adult items and sexual wellness items not authorized by eBay is not allowed.You listed an adult item, which is not permitted for sale on the eBay site. While we appreciate that you chose to utilize our site, we must ask that you please not relist in this case. The sale of the following adult items or similar items is not permitted:- Services involving sexual or adult activity- Subscriptions to adult content- Adult-only venues- Sex toys that simulate sexual acts with animals- Video-captured content, amateur or hidden-camera footage, not produced by a legitimate studio where all actors are compensated for their performances- Adult content delivered in digital format" Honestly, I don’t understand why some get closed and others don’t; it may seem paradoxical, but objectively they contain the same subject matter so they should be removed in bulk.I read on Google that all it takes is for a listing to be reported for it to be taken down, and that therefore competitors often mass-report a victim’s listings to get them closed. I wonder, could I have run into a similar situation? I do happen to see collections of actual pornography for sale and they’re right there in plain sight with no censorship at all and against every rule (there are sellers with 7000-plus feedback who sell similar photos with no problem). I realize not everyone is informed on the subject, and I apologize if I may seem inappropriate with my listings. Have a good evening, everyone.
