I just did a search for old collectible type photos, using the following keywords, retro photos . I got 90 percent smut nudes, saw were pretty raw. None were art type nudes. Pretty tasteless stuff that should not show up in this type of (non- adult only) every day eBay search. I’m not a prude...but a few minutes earlier my 8 year old granddaughter was sitting next to me as I was searching, old car photos... eBay search needs some work.

I’m not aprude...
I think with a moniker like yours, you'd not be considered a prude.
I just did the same search... 'Retro photos' and was also very surprised at what I found. Who knew??? 😦

I ran that search and what I came up with was a bunch of your own listings of retro photos. Is this your way of advertising to us?

OP is NOT advertising. Not sure how you did the search, but I did it & did not see any of OP's photos. That said, OP has photos that are similar to what comes up, just not as much nudity.
The pics mostly seem to be nudes in the Art category. What you call smut, I'm sure others call art & vice versa. I think b/c they are in the art caegory, you don't have to be over 18 to view.

Smut is in the eye of the beholder (no joke intended until after I wrote no joke intended)
But, yes, looking at some of your photos (who could wear those sweaters after the girls in your photos had stretched them out?) reminds me of a Playboy cartoon from the 1950s with two co-eds in Letter-sweaters, the quite busty talking, the caption "Trenton? Why, no, my boyfriend's a Yale man, too!" (I'll leave the picture to your imagination. For the life of me I can never seem to erase it from mine)

I ran the same search. THe first two images were of Grandma in her kitchen. The next set were... not that. Pretty blatantly not that, in fact. Things I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing....

Especially if your wife/mother/SO catches you looking at that stuff!

Sexual acts are a completely different conversation but just old tame genuine nudity, meh....

" just old tame genuine nudity, meh...."
You got that right. Got bored by the third page and quit looking at them.

Try looking up nude postage stamps. Do people or did people really put them on stamps?

Yes.
I just listed a Spanish set that includes the Naked Maja.
Nekkid Ladies was a popular side collection back in the day.
When Canada Post put out its first 'picture' stamp, a self stick stamp you could add another sticker to, Alan Steinhart (of course) sent around a mailing where the extra sticker was a Playboy model. The good old boys thought it was a hoot.

lol- it is amazing that Ebay search! Its algorithms are so bad. Now if you want some real modern completely naked pictures- just search for a Ford car part # and you will be blown away LOL. no "black bars" over the "goodie parts"- just full on nude woman - ALL SPONSERED RESULTS MIND YOU.
This is a common ford part # configuration- c9zz-1440-a
its fun to compare ebays search results vs googles..... here is a hint- google shows a variety of 1969 ford mustang parts as it should and ebay shows buxom British nudes lol
Again - it is beyond comprehension that the search can ignore the biggest most important keywords and just show nude pics. (nudes should only show up in a search if searched with words such as nude/naked/**bleep**/nipples/breasts/sexy/etc.) This all happened after their big item specifics and category updates 6 months ago-
Its a miracle that we sell anything on a platform that never shows people what they search for.

And distracts a good chunk of the rest with ....ahem, less than directly useful ladies. (who no doubt cannot wield a crescent wrench)
