Re: porn material

You say "sudden" but didn't this change happen a while ago?

 

As for why, there is plenty of discussion about this out there already, such as https://community.ebay.com/t5/Selling/ebay-is-removing-the-adult-items-Why-And-where-do-we-sell-our/...

Re: porn material

Most payment processors do not process payments for porn or adult material. Why? Because it is bad for the brand. Especially when people start writing in major newspapers that you facilitate the trafficking of women and minors. The New York Times of late has been running devastating exposes on porn and pretty much no credit card or payment processor will touch porn or adult material anymore.

When I first read that, I thought it said, "the grabass of the internet."

Re: porn material

Yes, I know this is a fairly obvious and simplistic answer:  eBay's site, eBay's rules.  If eBay decided not to allow the listing of linen tablecloths, Pokemon cards or model trains, again, eBay's site, eBay's rules.

Their sandbox their rules.  It has been this way for a bit now.  I have laserdiscs that I could sell but alas, not allowed.

Re: porn material

Search Doc Johnson some time on eBay.     eBay had said when they switched over from paypal they would no longer allow it.  Not that there is any shortage of it on the net.

Re: porn material

I'm not sure what kind of stuffs do you meam, but I have found porn material recently, and multiple times. So, I was not even looking for it. Maybe they allow some people to sell it. I read that one guy was banned for selling suggestive Anime material (which is not porn).
