Nope, I can't help myself

I've just gotta know!

"eBay does not permit the listing, sale or purchase of “adult” or “sexually oriented” material on its site.

Any items which, because of their nature or because of the item description, appear to be designed for use in sexual/adult activity, including sex toys, used underwear and items used for bondage or S & M activities."

What does eBay think that items such as condoms are "designed" for?

I just did an "Australia Only" search and there are 1294 listings!

(44 used)

but they're for books etc LOL

I had a peek at the description of the first one that came up and it is pretty clear that they're not being sold for "health and beauty".

....or to stop moisture entering into the barrels of your gun collection that you were planning on taking on holiday to Tasmania.

ok, makes sense, and the lubrication would be to stop the guns from going rusty, right?

so what category do they go under for that?

So the Tasmania reference went right over your head, eh? I expected a few pooh poohs from the addicted posters.

Prohibited Items - Adult Material

What about if someone (who shall totally remain nameless) designed and sells something so not for that use, but it's being advertised on other sites for that use (without my I mean that anonymous person's permission, I might add).

nup - you're too cryptic for me LOL

but please clarify that I'm not the anonymous person to whom you refer cos I got nuffin advertised anywhere off eBay except for food business stuff on my own website and I'm pretty sure that you're not referring to that!

OMG.... unless you mean someone has bought a Jewelled umbrella (for example) and is advertising it as an "adult item" on another site and the original owner/designer has not consented to it being advertised/used in this way, is that what you mean?

Shouldn't be.... LOL

I was being facetiously cagey, 'cos my post would have come out sounding like "I know this person who has this friend, and they...." so I figured I'd acknowledge / embrace it and, well, be facetiously cagey.

I've edited my bit in the quote up there (added bits in red) - maybe making that clear might prompt a memory or two.

It's just a piece of costume jewellery, btw, nothing overtly sexy about it, either. Remember now?

well, I kinda got it was about you, hence my jewelled reference, but I thought you was trying to be discreet(ish) so didn't want to come right out and say it LOL

but

*looks embarrassed*

I don't think I remember that this had already happened to you, I thought you were sort of telling me for the first time....

*hangs head*
