I'm not a prude however... NSFW

Vivid Raw F*** It Brown Mouth Masturbator,

Seems weird to know that my little 8 year old neice checks out ebay. The above item does not use asterisks in the heading.

sorry was meant to be a link to, not the picture LOL

I don't have anything against adult products being on eBay, but I think there's a small change possible that could please everyone....uh, so to speak.   

There are sites that have on-site 'NSFW' filters. They are always on if you're not logged into your account, and they mask adult content (images are blurred / blocked and you have to either sign in or go through a couple of extra steps to view them, written content you have to do a click-through consent type of thing to continue on and read). If you have an account, you can either have the filter turned on permanently, or turned off. 

These are meme sites, by the way, where people just post funny pics etc. If what amounts to a 'joke' site can do stuff like this, I'm sure ebay could figure out a way to keep the stuff behind virtual curtains, as well.

These type of listings were never allowed but in the end they are now a common occurence and they make

eBay money,(ethics isn't a word that this site is familiar with).

The only way you you used to be able to report these was is via the report link on the listing page ,

Report item > Listing practices > Inappropriate item description > Profanity, obscenity, and vulgar language.

But their policy says it's fine to have "swear" words in listing  titles and such.

Another way used to be: Report item > Prohibited and restricted items > Adult material > Other sexual or adult

Items,(although they probably qualify for removal using that report anymore).

Their policy states that they are only allowed in the  Everything Else > Adult Only category.

https://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/adult-only.html

But then they've made up specific categories for these in  Health & Beauty > Health Care > Sexual Wellness >

Sex Toys

Most don't list in Everything Else > Aduly Only category as they've found that eBay have given them better

categories to list them for better sales

Those you could previously report via: Report item > Listing practices > Search and browse manipulation >

Listing in an incorrect category.

So in the end this site has covered all bases and they can no longer be reported as that might stop the cash

that these items bring in,(and as others have stated to be a member on this site you have to be 18 or older and

that clears them legally of any wrong doing as they can't stop a non member accessing the site if a member

allows them that access).

Sorry for the long post that's gone nowhere but I was bored,

The 8yr old doesn't have to be searching ebay. If you enter that sentence without the asterisks into google, it brings up the ebay listing plus a host of other sites selling that product.........

 i'm pretty sure that the OP said that her neice checks out ebay - not searches for NSFW terms on google. anyway ...

I have screenshots which I do not intend to post here from youtube, you can see from the screenshots that I am *not* signed in, it is an extreme hard core porn and down the side of all the related videos are a bunch more, mixed in with normal political news videos. Just sayin'. You will find that those who want to be found know how to scam search results.

"So, you don't have any control over your child?"

I don't have any children.

[sea.breeze]

"So that 8 year old is 10 years too young to be anywhere near eBay."

Yeah, good luck with that.

Personally, I don't give a rat's what your niece finds, but surely it's up to your

brother/sister to set parental controls on devices.

Otherwise its 'too bad, so sad'

Parents can be sitting there with a child and bam, it's in your face whether you like it or not. Please don't say nobody is obliged to click on the listing because a lot of pictures are quite explicit in the gallery view.
