Bugger their policies, it is against the law 
The double standards of this company never fail to leave me with a bad taste in my mouth
The pressure placed on sellers re buyer experience are at the highest level they have ever been, how does eBay inaction by leaving these items showing in Oz improve an unsuspecting buyers experience ?
Having butt-plugs and such pop up in their searches ain't the kinda experience that many of those searching toys or health and beauty products want nor expect

I understand that the thread is about eBay policy, however in the post above it was you that quite emphatically stated, and I quote
"Bugger their policies, it is against the law"
so, perhaps you are not aware of the content of your own posts? But it was definitely your good self that "touched on the subject of illegality" and introduced this aspect into the discussion.
So, again, based on the information supplied, I am merely curious as to what you were referring to when you stated "it's against the law"
Yes, I am aware of the information pertaining to R rated images.
Kind Regards

forget what it is though, but if you can't find it (been posted a few times) someone else will know where it is
I think it is all made harder due to incorrect information outlined in posts such as above ^^^^^^
But, it is good that we have cleared up that there is a legislated framework that eBay should have in place 
I apologise if you think I am trying to start an argument. I have no desire to do that at all. I wish to post on the OP, that is all...

@site120 wrote:Can anyone out there shed a little light on an issue I have had running with E Bay Australia for a while now, Adult Only material is forbidden on E Bay Australia, here is a quick run down on their guidelines regarding Adult Only item:
Anything designed for use in sexual or adult activities may not be listed on eBay. At our discretion we may remove items including, but not limited to:
Adult-orientated domain names
Anatomically-accurate sex dolls
Any item which, because of their nature or because of the item description, appear to be designed for use in sexual/adult activity
Netsuke (miniature Japanese sculpture) that contains nudity or explicit sexual content may not be listed
Nude playing cards or trading cards
Sex toys
Now this is the policy on these items, why are there literally thousands of adult only listings on E Bay Australia from Australian sellers, besides the obvious(money), how does E Bay keep getting away with continually listing items and hosting online stores filled with adult items if it's in breach of their own policies???, complaining to E Bay does absolutely nothing, the ACCC won't touch it, can anyone point me in the right direction on this matter and which organisation I can make a complaint to, it's the fact that kids under the age of 18yrs have full access to E Bay and there is an abudance of very explicit material on E Bay Australia, there are also no warnings of adult material present on E Bay Australia on their home page or splash screens...thank you
