Bootleg Adult DVD's

[rtwx2017]

Has there been a change in eBay's policy about selling adult DVD's that aren't "originals" (compilations converted from VHS or burned from original DVD's; the kind shipped w/o artwork in plain white envelopes)?  There used to be lots and lots of this type of listing and now I don't see any.

I doubt there has been a change.  These types of items have never been authorized for sale on eBay.  Likely you have seen them start to do better at enforcing items restricted such as:

"Unauthorized copies of media, software and paintings – this includes backup, pirated, duplicated and bootlegged copies."

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I didn't think selling them was ever really "legal," but it was widespread (for years) and doesn't seem to be now so I was wondering if there was some recent change (sales tax?) I didn't know about but maybe eBay is just cracking down more than before.

Hi @rtwx2017, I'm happy to clarify! Our counterfeit item policy has not changed. If you find items that appear to violate this policy then please feel free to report them. Our teams will review and take appropriate action.

I'd bet they would be lining up to 'review' the adult DVD's .......... 😀
