Where to report a seller with porn magazines and barbie dolls in same store?

[krys888]

As a parent and grandparent, I have a real problem with this. Listing children’s toys and porn magazines in the same store is unacceptable. Did a search for a particular Barbie doll. Found one. Considered purchasing it. Looked to see what else the seller had for possible savings on multiple items shipping. I was disappointed to find among more Barbie dolls there were human porn magazines with extremely graphic covers. If ebay is allowing and promoting this mix of children’s toys and porn, I can’t sell here any more.

Now that's a stretch . It isn't irrational when a person has a good sense of right and wrong . It doesn't mean they are '' delicate '' or believe they are on a mission from God . It just means they are able to detect when something isn't quite right and then have the courage to speak up . This is in fact a virtue that should be respected and it is ,, by most people . Tulips

If you still refuse to use the quote function could you at least put the text you copy/paste in Italics. It would really help make your posts clearer to readers.

This format would be even better......

Using the quote function would also allow the poster that you quoted to be notified that they have been quoted.

I can't stand porn, madison 

I suspect most people  don't either . There's just something off  putting  about reducing human beings into just  the total sum of their private parts.  Tulips

Good to see someone willing to help solve a specific problem without promoting their own causes or going into an ever changing multi-faceted crusade against everyone and every group they don't personally believe in. Invoking bible teachings seems a little over the top to disagree and promote someone's own causes.

     You made a huge difference in getting the issue resolved, thank you, again. Hopefully this thread will get locked or moved to a different area now. Maybe those who insist on advocating or promoting their own crusades can start a new thread in the proper forum and those of us who are tired of or not interested in those crusades can ignore them.

It was the decent thing to do.  Still surprised I was the only one who thought to do it but what are you gonna do?  Threads like this don't reach 150+ posts if everyone is rational and tries to address the problem head on instead of climbing onto their personal soapbox.

And with that, I'm out.

I’m on an ipad and have no idea how to do that, sorry.

“I don't think anyone rushed to judgement as I doubt anyone thought 100% positive the seller did it on purpose.”

Didn’t you say earlier in the day “It is yet another filthy Ebay seller allowing young people to see gay sex. He should be banned from Ebay.”?  That sounds like a 100% rushed judgment.

Yes, when someone selling filthy porn doesn't take the time to make sure young kids and even older adults who do not want to see that stuff lists it as a normal view he should be at least banned for 30 days even if it was a mistake. Think about it, if you worked at a store selling both kids toys and porn and you accidently put the porn next to the toys you would be fired in a heart beat regardless if it was a mistake. I never said he did it on purpose.

[adphd88]

Why don’t you own it instead of trying to justify it? Once again, 100% rush to judgment that was obvious to anyone reading the thread. 

[upgradedendmills]

The issue is resolved. Why drag out "he said-she said" issues or point fingers? Messages and replies can easily be misunderstood. Let it go.

[adphd88]

I simply responded to a post addressed directly to me.  There was no “he said/she said,” and most surely no need for your mini-lecture on how I should or shouldn’t conduct myself.  Thank you.

crusade

noun

US  /kruːˈseɪd/ UK  /kruːˈseɪd/

[ C ]

a long and determined attempt to achieve something that you believe in strongly:

They have long been involved in a crusade for racial equality.

a moral crusade against drugs

 Judging from the many responses  I received in this thread , it didn't seem like anyone was having trouble understanding what I  wrote .  Obviously  I  had been  pretty clear  sharing my opinion  on this topic . I  think this is why  a lot of buzz words were used in response  to my messages   like '' triggered '' , ''delicate '' and terms like '' on a crusade '' or on a mission from God  .  I very seriously doubt anyone  on a '' crusade '' for racial equality ,  or banning  social injustice   etc  would have ever received  any of those negative  buzzwords  in response  . As you can read above the true definition of a '' crusade ''  involves  donating a lot of personal time  to a cause a person  truly believes in . This thread is probably the only time I've commented on this particular subject matter  so clearly  there was  no crusade .  Name calling , assertions , accusations and buzzwords  are quite often used  in response when there's nothing left  to refute the other  person's point of view .  In other words ,, they heard me .

They would if they tromped into someone elses thread to post their opinions and resisted all attempts to take it someplace more appropriate. You did not get a welcome reception here because of that and yet you persist in claiming that its because you are right and everyone else is wrong and therefore they are in favor of pornography or child molestation and on and on.

Now please stop pretending that you are a victim because you got what you considered to be negative buzzwords and take your topic over to Soapbox or wherever a more appropriate forum is. I know it is not pleasant to read this but really you reap what you sow. There are places in the Ebay community that are intended for opinions and debate. This group is intended to answer questions about selling. The OP did get their problem answered and the seller has fixed the categories for his listings and its time to wrap it up and move on.

[upgradedendmills]

Thank you!!!!  Not the first or last time this will happen, but pointing it out to a poster is a start. It almost gets to a point where some posters are doing more harm than good for whatever cause (no matter how noble) they are spouting off about. When someone elects themselves as spokesperson for a large group and refuses any input from others, the message gets lost.

[bonjourami]

The veiled accusations that we must all be pornographers or child molestors because we are not also hammering others in here sickens me.

[upgradedendmills]

With no intention of offending anyone or any group, this post should be retitled "tiptoe through the tulips" (pun and sarcasm absolutely intended)
