sometimes the wheels of progress grind very slowly.
eBay probably get thousands of reports a week, so please be patient with them, your report has been placed in a queue, but it is important to them.
(ringing might be faster, but I doubt it.)

I have no idea what you mean by pornographic material on the sunglasses, do you mean something is also in the photo, has someone written slogans on them or is it a reflection in the mirror lenses?
If ebay won't do anything and you are worried that your 14 year old has seen it then maybe you could call the police and ask them about the situation.
Hopefully there is a law that stops people displaying pornography to minors.
By the way are the glasses located in Australia and listed on ebay australia website?

Why was your son looking at eBay items? Given eBay explicitly state that members must be 18+.
If you have advised eBay that you have allowed your 14 year old son access to ebay unsupervised, then I would hope the action they take is to derigister your account.
I have books listed for sale that have women's breasts on the front covers, and sometimes a hint of a pubis. Should eBay delist them because you object to your son, who is not allowed to look at them, being able to access them? Because you have given him access to your account?
And do you think your 14 year old son, unsupervised, is looking to eBay for thrills? If so, I can provide some links. But I suspect he knows more places than I do to access porno.

ebay is not a restricted site, you only have to be over 18 to be a member of ebay and purchase or sell through ebay.
Of course under 18s the world over look at ebay and then get their parents to buy the items they have selected.
If we were all banned for letting a teenager use our computer to look at non restricted sites that come up in Google searches then I am about to be kicked off ebay.
The OP said pornography so I don't think they meant breasts or maybe a little pubis.
If there is pornography deliberately on a listing then let the law deal with the deviant, if it is just a bit of flesh then the 14 year old has probably seen it all in real life at the beach.

Define pornography.
In the context of the OP's complaint. Taking into account the likely exposure of a 14 year old boy, full of hormones, with access to the internet....
Which, regardless of what the 'real world' is, is in breach of eBay's rules.

How did the OPs son manage to find pornography in listings for Oakley sunglasses.....there are nearly 10,000 listings and nothing even remotely norti to be seen in the few pages that I looked at.

I too would like to know what the OP defines as pornographic. If it is just a nude reflection in the sunglasses then I can almost guarantee that most normal teenagers will have actively looked for and found much more explicit sights on porno sites and probably has a stash of top shelf mags either hidden at home or at a friend's house.
