Trying to list excellent pre-owned cloth diapers, keep getting bumped

[allazoppa]

I see pre owned cloth diapers listed all over ebay .  I keep getting the error message:

"This item is not permitted under the Used Clothing policy. Please do not relist.{e128279-1227938x}"

I listed an auction last week just fine.  What's up with this now?

Thank you.

Try to sell something else.

If you are told not to relist them, do NOT relist them.

I agree that there should be no problem.

Being old enough to have used cloth diapers on DD , more than 40 years ago, some of her diapers were already handmedowns from her aunts, whose children were in their teens then.

And they went on the circuit to more babies when DD was trained.

But eBay will close you down if you relist them.

Used diapers are not permitted under eBay policy. This is stated explicitly in the used clothing policy which eBay even gave you a link to. 

What is the policy?
Used underwear and socks are not allowed, even if they are clean. Examples include boxer shorts, panties, briefs, diapers, and athletic supporters.

The fact that eBay's policy enforcement is not comprehensive, accurate, or timely does not protect you from this policy.

This does strike me as a Facebook Marketplace item. More local.

Or ask your gynecologist/obstetrician if you could post a notice in her office.

There is also a cupcake and coffee shop near me that is a favourite with the yummy mummys  and has a bulletin board with lots of baby yoga, doula, and LaLeche League posters. Is there something like that near you?

Totally annoying. Just happened to me as well. I used to buy and sell pre-owned cloth diapers & covers all the time on eBay. Not sure if their policy recently changed or what. Never got this message before today. What did you end up doing?

@allazoppa 

Our local consignment shops and thrift stores no longer sell them either.  I have purchased batches of used ones to use to wash our cars, wax cars and in our bunny cage(s).  

Agree with @femmefan1946 - hopefully on a local site you can list them that way.  We never used them with DS as diapers - I used them as burp cloths and they were excellent.  

Good luck - can kind of understand why they are prohibited - not everyone would sell ones that are in EUC/sanitized, etc.

I suspect we are talking about different products with the same name and purpose

My diapers were flat pieces of cotton about 18" x 30" which were folded to make a thicker panel in the middle. We used safety pins to fasten them on and plastic overpants to keep clothes dry and clean.

Modern diapers are more of a panty themselves with a pocket for a (disposable? reuseable?) absorbent pad.

The older type was easy to clean and sanitize. The newer one? A much younger person would have to explain.

Now, how do "period panties" work?

Those are now called "flat" or "flatfold" cloth diapers.

I'm having the same issue. What is going on here? 

I currently see over 700 listings for pre-owned cloth diapers. I've also purchased pre-owned cloth diapers on eBay. Now I can't sell mine. 

I'd love to know the loophole that hundreds of other people seem to know!

There's no loophole @matthewclange - those other sellers have not been caught yet. If/when caught they will get hit with policy violations on their account.

Actually, I would be surprised if used/pre-owed cloth diapers would be allowed to list on eBay.

Maybe have a yard sale someone might want them for dust rags/ car wash clothes or even old school diapers. 

I recall my mom offering our washed left over cloth diapers to my sister when she gave birth to my niece in 1981/ She said no thanks.
