| kronas77 Deactivated User 469 Posts 4/19 | Posted - May 14 2021 : 9:45PM I live in Canada, and ADM is great, but the U.S. ADM site does not ship internationally, while the international version of the site, with a much more limited selection, charges about $40 to ship just one DVD to Canada. I was able to get a U.S. buyer who charges $15 commission per DVD. I am a collector of less-common DVDs, so any outlet is a potentially good one. ebay sellers commonly charge about $15 per DVD when shipping to Canada. Thanks again for your input. [Link] |

| kronas77 Deactivated User 469 Posts 4/19 | Posted - May 15 2021 : 10:28AM 1. ebay does not want to be associated in any way with the selling of illegal porn. That is one of their own explanations. A random do-gooder who hears that ebay has been selling illegal porn might think in terms of the PornHub situation. I recently admonished an ebay seller that he is not allowed to sell bootleg copies of adult DVDs, and that it is considered illegal activity. 2. Many ebay transactions are done through PayPal + credit card. Visa has taken a strong stand against illegal porn, especially in the PornHub situation. Forward-thinking ebay executives don't want to risk controversy. 3. ebay got a new CEO in 2020. He migrated from Wal-Mart. 4. Sales revenue from the Adult-Only section is very low compared to other sections. 5. ebay does not want to have to "patrol" adult-only submissions and go through each adult DVD to make sure everything is acceptable. How could they do that without full access to the material? 6. There is a trend now in porn to make it more PC. If you look at Brazzers, for instance, and take the star Kelly Divine as an example, there is a scene of her from Pornstars Punishment called The Slutmother, which has been drastically shortened, and with the most "abusive" parts removed. Of course, Brazzers still includes the introductory part where the two men at the poker table are shot to death. So what better and easier way to make things more PC at ebay than by simply removing all porn from the site? Vice.com link for more information. https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/7kvb7z/ebay-is-banning-hentai-and-other-adult-content But ebay will continue to sell Playboy and Penthouse. They should have simply forbidden the display of any images of erotic sales material. Edited by - kronas77 on 5/15/2021 11:43:53 AM [Link] |
