Questions about eBay shutting down the adult only section on June 15.

[ryeninjunbread]

Is eBay allowing adult only items to be listed up to June 15? Or are they shutting it all down on June 15 and closing all auctions as of that date?

Thanks

It's unclear in their wording. Bascially, it's a roll of the dice. ebay says they will "begin" pulling auctions on that date. As a consequence, I'm making sure all mine end prior to that date.

I suppose technically you can continue to list until June 15th, but ebay will start ending them on their renewal date after the 15th...You will not be able to list any new items in the Everything Else>Adult Category beginning on June 15th. The Category will be removed, so it's unclear how your items will be found (if at all) after the 15th. 

Some items can be shifted to other categories, but a lot of stuff cannot be shifted. 

Frankly, I would say most adult sellers would be better off using the time between now and the 15th shifting those items that can be shifted, and finding a new site for those that can't be. I would try to make sure that any existing listings can be saved in some way so that they can be easily transferred to another site. Or, depending on your investment, maybe looking for a way to liquidate your inventory. I know some sellers are buying up stock from those who've decided to liquidate.
