Yuck......................................

No they can't be listed and if they are they can be reported and will be withdrawn, and the seller is very likely to get a policy violation.

There are lots of sellers and multiple listings!

All of the listings will have a report button, use that and eBay should remove them - they won't take any action unless a member does make the report.

Like I said ................ yuck.

I don't even want to go and look at them..........................

Are they Chinese registered sellers?

If they are then reporting them to ebay.AU is unlikely to achieve anything.

If there is ever a market for odd socks, let me know. I'll be in line for a fortune.

Me Too! The odd sox box has had many variations over the years. All my kids are now adults & only one is living here now. But still the odd socks keep coming! 3 washing machines have died since we moved into this house 26 years ago. A full laundry to wet room renovation finished in June this year. What was under the latest washer? Yet more socks! The washer was only 18 months old! When the kids were young we used to have "sock pairing parties" just the 3 girls, with a prize for the one that paired the most.

I do recall many years ago on a morning show some lady being interviewed about ebay & the staggering amount she had made from used baby & children's socks @ auction! It was basically an ad for Ebay when it was new here in Aust. I'm with the YUK contingent on this issue- but often wonder if it might be a fun fundraiser fete event where you get everyone to bring in bags of odd socks & give prizes for the quickest matches & number made!? LOL!

I worked in fundraising for many years & this was the novelty event I'd most like to see! (Closely followed by the men making beds contest - tall blokes do well in the put the doona in the cover) & when I lived rurally; The gumboot throwing contest. Kind of like the Scottish Highland games caber toss (but so wrong!)

Should be good for a 'not as described' claim seeing as they're advertised as "New without tags: A brand-new, unused, and unworn item that is not in original retail packaging.....".

What I find disturbing is, there's 14 watchers and 22 enquiries! I don't think they have a choice about listing new. As you're not supposed to sell 2nd hand underwear, there is no used or preloved option.

The watchers are probably lurkers from here.

The enquiries? Pervs

I reported a few yesterday - they're still there.

AND I had to look at a lot of nice listings to get rid of the pics that were showing

in the side bar!

Added to my watch list and reported.

eBay please do your job and take it down - listing like this do this market place no favours.
