In their secret "Adults Only" area, EBAY is making a profit on PEDOPHILE images of celebrities. How about SELENA GOMEZ crucified? Or a vintage photo of "Brady Bunch" girl MAUREEN MCCORMICK tricked up to make it seems she loves to pose naked?
Incredibly, THIS seller in New Jersey has actually been stopped by various actresses who discovered the abuse and reported it. Ebay removed the items and has NOT SUSPENDED THE SELLER.
The seller has snuck nude images in the "regular" section of eBay many times as well. Ebay laughs, "We're JUST a venue, use the "report this item" link." The item may be removed but Ebay doesn't look at the rest of the abuses from the seller.
In fact, eBay often chooses to "interpret" their own rules in favor of a seller. What is YOUR definition of "offensive materials?" Or "FRAUD?" How about an obviously fake photo of Dakota Fanning naked? It was reported and NOT STOPPED:
At the moment, the only sure way to get a fake nude image removed from eBay is for the woman in the photo to KNOW ABOUT IT and then REPORT IT, and perhaps, depending on the mood of someone in the VeRO program, explain "why it infringes."
This applies to what would seem to be pretty obvious abuses on underage girls. Let's put it this way, in the REAL WORLD, and at EBAY and PAYPAL, no man could walk around showing off "fantasy" images of another employee.
Say "Here's my FANTASY image of Ms. Watson in accounting, being gang-raped, or getting her face squirted with semen," and Paypal or Ebay would fire you. But here, you are encouraged, and they get a dollar percentage:
This site makes no money. It loses money. This site is not campaigning for any politician or seeking anything but this:
COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW.
If women want to appear in porn, fine. Check any porn magazine or DVD. It says that the women have signed model releases and these releases are available for inspection.
This is not the case on EBAY.
An irony is that EBAY will not allow a seller to offer a duplicate or counterfeit image glorifying the KKK or the Nazi era. It will not allow a seller to profit by offering a photo of an accident victim to some ghoulish thrill seeker. BUT they have no problem with all the images above. These don't fall under "offensive materials."
According to Rolling Stone, websites are now being prosecuted for "revenge porn" and celebrity leaked photos and other such material. Is that what it will take?
This website would like to report "EBAY's CEO's have looked into the problem and fixed it," as they did when they outlawed the sale of chloroform after Peter Braunstein bought some on eBay to sexually assault a woman in Manhattan.
Do the items you've just seen seem like OFFENSIVE MATERIALS? They are also in violation of Federal Law, in being sold without the women's consent. ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
