All items that meet the site\u2019s definition of sexually explicit materials will be removed, and the sale of these items will henceforth be prohibited.<br \/>\nThe auction website\u2019s new policy places a ban on items that contain explicit sexual material or show \u201cprovocative sexual poses, genitalia, or sexual activity.\u201d This includes anime, comics, books, films, animation, manga, etc.<br \/>\nThere are, however, some exceptions. For instance, nude art may be sold in the Art and Collectibles section as long as the work \u201cdoes not contain sexually suggestive poses.\u201d<br \/>\nSimilarly, magazines from certain publications (Playboy, Playgirl, Mayfair, and Penthouse) can be sold in the Magazines section, provided that the listing does not show anything sexual. Why Does eBay Have This New Policy?<br \/>\nYou can read eBay\u2019s updated guidelines regarding adult items in full on its eBay Customer Service page. There, eBay explains why its old policy had to change:<br \/>\nWe want to make adult items available to those who wish to purchase them and can do so legally, while preventing those who do not wish to view or purchase these items from easily accessing them.<br \/>\nWe gather that this is actually just eBay\u2019s way of making sure that children don\u2019t see any content inappropriate for their age.<br \/>\nBut if that\u2019s the case, then the company isn\u2019t drawing a harsh enough line, as there are some guidelines that detail how an item that was removed from the Adult Only section could be \u201crelisted\u201d in other categories.<\/p>\n<p>This data comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaintel.asia\/\" title=\"MediaIntel.Asia provides Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring in Asia\" >MediaIntel.Asia's Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>eBay Bans Sale of Adult Items, Effective June 15 Onward On May 17, 2021<br \/>\nAccording to AVN, eBay sent out a notice to sellers in its Adult Only section stating that the section will close on June 15.
