Help!!!

I am trying to list some items in the mature Category. Books, videos. Everytime I list I get the error message "words in title not appropriate or allowed".

My title says: "Triple video bonanza-Adults Only" What's not appropriate or allowed in that title.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Can we list mature items through Vendio or do we have to go to eBay to list them maybe?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

Try taking out the -. Some characters do not work in the title because they are code symbols used by eBay.

And if you need the equivalent of a hyphen between two parts of your title, I've found that the symbol ~ works just as well. (It's above the accent mark at top far left of your keyboard.)

The mature Audience catagory went thru some bigtime title word blocking awhile back - go thru their help section and see if you can find a list of the title words they banned.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

It used to be that you could not list to that category from Vendio because of an extra step in the listing process that they did not support. I don't know if it has changed or not. You may want to try listing direct on Ebay.

There are only so many auto-response error messages that it may not actually be the title wording.......



Were you offering Paypal???

What many people don't know is that paypal is forbidden in the mature audiences categories.

PAYPAL IS A BANNED WORD AS WELL.


Paypal as a payment option in any clickable form on the "sell your item form" or through any and all bulk listing softwares will get that item stopped and rejected.

Nor can you simply hand type it and sneak it in a description.

No ifs, ands, buts, excuses, exceptions, workarounds or loopholes.


As far as uploading a picture logo of paypal and sneaking it in that way......... don't bother. I haven't tried it myself HOWEVER the MA is a nasty, vicious overly competitive place and you WILL GET IT REPORTED AND CANCELLED by a competitor.

I sold a several mature audience pin-up books this past winter, launched them through Vendio with no problem--and I didn't remove my Paypal mention in the descriptions! So what gives?
