I have had accounts with ebay uk closed for selling porn magazines.

It all depends whether they notice it or not. They refund all your listing fees and ask you to take note of their prohibited items section.

After a couple more transgressions you get suspended.

I also notice i can not access the ebay U.S mature section! Apparently they block users outside the U.S whose countries laws may be different.

It's risky - I tried once and got away with it, but as SW says it just depends if someone spots it and reports it. Ebay themselves do virtually no policing unless someone else tells them about an auction. Why anyone would is another matter.

I put a collection of 80s softcore mags on Ebay and had a Buy-it-now option, so it wasn't online very long before someone bought it, which was handy. The golden rule is: if you have one of your auctions taken down because Ebay have had a complaint, then DO NOT try it again - you will be thrown off Ebay.

It's pretty dumb that they won't start a Mature Audience category in the UK site - that would keep everyone happy.

I had accounts with 'Ebid' and 'Porn Auction UK' both of which allowed adult material to be sold.

However, a few weeks ago i had e mails from both of them warning that only R18 films could be sold in the future.

I assume Trading Standards had been in touch with them.

Set up another account on ebay.com. You'll need a US address and zip code - I apparently have another property located on the same land as a Burger King store in Los Angeles

Obviously if you bid on anything you need to email the seller and tell them who are actually from the UK and check it is alright with them.

I just want to sell.

Do you reckon I'll get away with selling from an assumed address?

1660 Pennsylvania avenue anyone :-)

that might be a lot harder as you need to be up front with your customers about where you ship from (unless you keep postage down to US domestic rates).

Is it really selling DVD's to Americans though? The US dollar is so weak, it costs me about £6 for postage and packaging, which is almost $12. That's just over half the price of a brand new DVD.

Have you tried QXL? There are a lot of porn DVDs (both R18 and unrated) for sale on there...

But Master Plum, when you register using a US address and zipcode as I did, if you give a yahoo e-mail address or similar you must confirm with a bona fide address such as AOL or submit your credit card details for confirmation? Surely they will detect you are English? How did you get round this?

Happy New Year,

It is very annoying, ebay is ever so popular, and if there is a lot of porn for sale in the Ebay US, then we could possibly save a lot of money!

and others have said "open a new account on ebay US"
yes, but being as we live in other places of the world, we have no idea, what address(s) we could use.

so really we need some one is the US to let us know an address (my email address is ready to take any address's u may think of)

would be nice if we could log in to our normal account and see everything that everyone else sees.

iI don't ever think Ebay will lift this censor from us outsiders

Sorry I never got back to you Colonel, I've only just revisited this thread.

Okay, i've just been to check my US account and I can tell you I used my old freeserve.co.uk email address. It would seem that having a British email address is no problem and the computer doesn't flag it up as anything untoward.
