I am so embarrassed! I'm selling some rather steamy books for a friend, and in among the books were three men's magazines, including Hustler. (I didn't list any of these items in Mature Audiences; didn't really know what to do.) I posted pictures, too, including in the gallery.

So tonight I get a message from Ebay saying they've ended the magazines auction and giving the reasons for it; and saying they're refunding all listing fees, etc.

My question: They haven't scolded me for any of the books I have listed, but I've gone into those auctions and removed any pictures I thought would be offensive. Is there a limit to how many auctions Ebay will end, of mine, before they kick me off Ebay? Or would they?

I'm so upset I'm blushing here all by myself. Very nervous.

Roadsmith lol

I think ebay only gets upset if you relist them right away again and ignore their message. Anyone that sells long enough will get slapped by ebay sooner or later if they're not careful, or even if they are. I doubt they'd boot you!

You mean you can get Hustler in that cute little mountain town that you live in. No place is safe anymore from porn.

LOL Classicrock! They're gonnnnnnne.

This morning I woke up all nervous to see if I had an e-mail NARUing me. Nope. Just the one Hustler-type auction is gone. I am very relieved.

Now to see if any of the books sell WITHOUT the pictures!
