Pervs on Ebay...

[HMS_Dave]

A large portion of my business is selling on ebay, what a shame other legitimate business owners and sellers can't sell without being targeted by disgusting slobs with nothing better to do other than to hunt out female sellers of clothes and the models that wear them and offer them money in exchange for explicit pictures...

Given how easy it is to obtain addresses on ebay as a seller there is a security risk added to all this. Im not familiar with the other domains and platforms that are targeted but i wouldn't mind betting they're similar.

I hope this sicko's are routed out...

I used to run a stand up comedy night at a theatre which used a regular host. His main schtick was to take a copy of the local paper on stage with him and phone people up from the adverts - the phone was linked to the PA of course. This was often very funny but I recall the one where he phoned a lady about a very large fur coat and enquired whether she was selling anything else - like big, big knickers. A quiet word was had and that segment was dropped.

You need to report them to Ebay if anyone is sending rude messages.

I dry heave when I see people selling bibshorts, nevermind more intimate garments

I had a few pervy messages when I sold my old mankinis.

I left neutral feedback as they weren't packed for freshness

The clean ones were advertised on a different listing.

There’s something for everyone on the internet. The trouble is that the internet is full of people doing this stuff legitimately.


The problem exists when people start approaching non consenting sellers.

If you collect byline's that one's a goody - Christina Criddle.

I seem to remember there was a story about eBay being a market for people who wanted to buy unwashed underwear.

When Pornhub can host hundreds of videos of rape and child sexual abuse without being shut down, or even removing them when asked, it's no surprise that porn addled low lifes, whose fetishes have been normalised, think it acceptable to bring their perversions into the mainstream.

They will actually be getting off on the thought of women getting upset at reading their request, probably more than the thought of getting used clothes.

Edit: I'll add to this that whilst everybody is busy lauding Twitter and Facebook for banning Trump, neither platform has made any serious attempt to stop the abuse that women receive on these platforms day in, day out.

I sell second-hand bike clothes, including bib shorts. They are very carefully washed before-hand though.

You could make more money by offering them soiled on specialist forums.

Any idea which specialist forums?

Given my internet has 'security restrictions' on it I'm presuming I wouldn't be able to access them?
