[crowsman53]

Hi all

I wisdh to know where I stand with Ebay in selling some Playboy Trading Cards from the 1990's. Some of them  are mild nudity. eg Brests, Am I allowed to list them on Ebay Australia with images? If so how do I know the buyer is 18+ Thank You

That was just the link that I couldn't post earlier.

It just explains how some stuff gets through whilst other doesn't.

Thanks again eyeryone for your responses.. on the Adult side of things so if I sell a card that shows the upper half of a female how do I know the person who bought it is 18+ because if him/her is not  I could be in trouble.

Easy because all Ebay members must be over 18yrs of age to have an account

Does Ebay Check The Age Of Members??

As far as I know, you can sell adult material on eBay.com but I don't know their rules for what is allowed.

I don't think the cards are allowed to be listed here. What type of nudity is allowed: "A small and insignificant part of a catalog, book, periodical, or other work which is not, as a whole, primarily devoted to sexual matters." Playboy is basically 100% devoted to sexual matters.

I went to respond to that earlier today CXrow, this morning my response was along the lines that all Members sign the Terms and Conditions when they they join eBay and one of those terms says something along the lines of "I am 18 or over" (sic), in which case, it is a given that members are 18 or older.

However, on an alcohol thread the other day, it came out that it was expected that the recipient signed for the delivery and produced proof of age.

So, not too sure what to think.

But if it falls into the "arty" criteria, I can't see a problem however the very title of your cards suggests they're not specifically arty, though older pictures are acceptable.

 I guess it boils down to if your items are "art" or "pornography" and what the law about the associated distribution.

Hard one.

Spoiler

no pun intended

Assumedly not. But it is a condition of membership.

A member posted a whinge recently about too much flesh on listing that her 14yo son was looking at. Couldn't understand that her 14yo son shouldn't be using eBay on Mum's account unsupervised. Or that he could get real explicit pics anywhere on the internet.

so why the proof of ID requirement for the receipt of alcohol then?

That was my initial thought too.

Alcohol policy

• When alcohol is posted to a buyer, you must obtain the signature of an adult (over 18 years of age)

• Many States have very specific laws based on the quantity and type of alcohol being posted

• Sellers should describe the signature and postage requirements for fulfilling the transaction when listing such items on eBay.com.au

• Many States require that carriers have licenses to transport alcohol

• Your carrier must be capable of obtaining the required signature. Australia Post is unable to solicit age verification upon delivery of an item

  But maybe that is a blanket law for all postage of alcohol, not just an eBay policy thing iykwim.

  Cos when they post the Black Label Penthouse, no one has to sign for that, it just goes in the letter box.
