First, the bad news. There are at least SIX problem sellers who use the ADULT area of eBAY to sell fake nudes, cheap-shot invasion-of-privacy upskirts, and hacked photos stolen from the computers of women.
THESE ARE THE SICK SIX:
STATERBROSLYNN
JOCUR_IMAGES
PKC527
NAPTIMEZ
JPAULCELEBPHOTOS
too_kool_kollectibles
EBAY needs to either SUSPEND them, or let them know that it is against their policies and PAYPAL's policies to sell FAKE NUDES, NUDES WITH NO MODEL RELEASES, and "Screencaps" Stolen from Copyrighted Movies. (EBAY also needs to revise its "REPORT ITEM" list so that when items are reported, no moron employee will shrug and say, "Doesn't seem "OFFENSIVE MATERIALS" to ME.")
THESE SEVEN ARE ALL CURRENTLY RUNNING AUCTIONS.
(Let's remind everyone that many of the worst offenders WERE finally removed by EBAY:
Johnswellstuff12
vintage_art_paper
alanavery
pohlcollectibles2015
and they have NOT come back.
Others, such as autographmonster, are still on site but NOT selling celeb porn anymore.
hq-photos changes his name to rc-autographs on January 5th and is not currently selling.)
This could ALL end if a few managers and agents hired a VeRO rep and told eBay, "these are our women. We represent them. We ASSURE YOU, they do NOT want their intellectual property abused by misogynist bastards who want to pimp sick pictures of them."
STATERBROSLYNN
has items such as this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/EMMA-WATSON-TOPLESS-TITS-IN-WATER-SIGNED-8-5-X-11-PHOTO-AUTO-AUTOGRAPH-W-COA-/222744708445?hash=item33dc9e855d:g:dHEAAOSwySVaJq0r&item=222744708445
It's either a FAKE or a STOLEN Emma Watson nude, and the creeps have the nerve to pretend she SIGNED it.
Their list of exploited actresses include:
MILEY CYRUS
RAQUEL WELCH
BRITNEY SPEARS
SARAH SILVERMAN
GILLIAN ANDERSON
GISELE BUNDCHEN
AMANDA SEYFRIED
CHRISTINA HENDRICKS
ALYSSA MILANO
EMILY DESCHANEL
EMMA STONE
BETTY WHITE
LYNDA CARTER
ANNA KOURNIKOVA
VANESSA HUDGENS
SASHA GREY
HILARY DUFF
DEMI LOVATO
RIHANNA
JULIA ROBERTS
KATHERINE HEIGL
SALMA HAYEK
ANNE HATHAWAY
ARIANA GRANDE
MARGOT ROBBIE
VANNA WHITE
CAMERON DIAZ
TYRA BANKS
CINDY CRAWFORD
JESSICA BIEL
SHERYL CROW
HAYDEN PANETTIERE
JENNFER ANISTON
and many others.
This guy claims to have gotten IN PERSON SIGNATURES from ALL OF THE ABOVE
(and more) on pictures that are mostly FAKE NUDES. Imagine that.
Imagine if CAA, WME or other agents could file ONE report on this bastard and say
"Our clients did NOT sign these FORGERIES." End of problem.
PKC527 - from Brown Mills, New Jersey
His game is fake topless images like THIS one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LYNDA-CARTER-8X10-GLOSSY-PHOTO/222794126428?hash=item33df90945c:g:TIwAAOSwzRpaNDwc

and others
He sells his crap as REAL, and his aim is to make all of these women look like SLUTS. He is selling to feeble minded idiots who believe these photos are real, and could stalk and attempt to rape these actresses.
naptimez
Stopped many times and EBAY...
....still gives him CHANCE after CHANCE.
To do what? To sell pictures of unknown wives, girlfriends, and strangers who have NO idea he's selling them?
To let him abuse famous stars?
Yes, he preys on ANY woman, famous or not. He steals or downloads photos with NO MODEL RELEASE OF AGE AND CONSENT, like THIS:
According to FEDERAL LAW, sellers must have a signed model release of AGE AND CONSENT. All this seller says is:
Sellers like NAPTIMEZ, who trade in photos grinded through a printer, or self-made in a darkroom in a basement, should be REGISTERED with EBAY and be able to state:
"I am the original photographer, the models were paid, and I have arranged with EBAY to have the model's SIGNED RELEASES on file to PROVE that I am not dealing in REVENGE PORN, or selling pictures that will embarrass and shame women who never intended for their images to be sold."
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LYNDA-CARTER-NUDE-30/382314942238?hash=item5903bf0f1e:g:Qe4AAOSwTEJaOoPT
Is the LYNDA CARTER nude:
NAPTIMEZ is also selling:
Amanda Seyfried
Ursula Andress
Sharon Tate
Shari Belafonte
Summer Glau
Anne Hathaway
Adrienne Barbeau
Valerie Perrine
Eva Braun (is this guy a Nazi or WHAT?)
Amanda Siegfried (you get two spellings)
and others. NOT A SINGLE WOMAN has signed a release for this guy. PAYPAL won't even allow him to use their service. EBAY keeps him. WHY?

THIS seller thinks it's just DANDY to grab "screen caps" from movies. An actress does a nude scene because it's important to the plot, so THIS creep captures the moment and SELLS IT. He has NO right to sell a scene from a copyrighted movie. This isn't a "copright" issue at all. EBAY should NOT allow this:
As they all do, THIS seller writes headers that reduce the women to body parts: TITS! BUSH! TOPLESS! THIS seller also doesn't care if he sells real photos or fakes, like this MARIE OSMOND LOOKALIKE or PHOTO FAKE ITEM:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/8x10-photo-Marie-Osmond-sexy-topless-celebrity-pop-singer-TV-star-1978/152854675382?hash=item2396d93fb6:g:6YoAAOSwafBZ3p83

Another seller stopped often on eBay, but not often ENOUGH to get suspended this seller is a cheap bastard who likes to embarrass and humiliate Britney Spears...at $3.95 a photo. He's sold 64 of this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/BRITNEY-SPEARS-NO-PANTIES-W-PARIS-HILTON-8X10-GLOSSY-PHOTO-PICTURE/261310078345?epid=1231538443&hash=item3cd74b5d89:g:o~wAAOxyONBSYa2h
Mr. TOO KOOL simply steals anything he can download. Invasion of privacy? It doesn't matter to a misogynist like him.
Would he do this to his mother or his sister? A girlfriend if a woman could stand him? Probably not. But famous women are brought down to his level and he enjoys PIMPING THEM.
Real photos or FAKE photos? Either way:
His list of victims includes:
Christie Brinkley
Sofia Vergara
Lindsay Lohan
Paris Hilton
and many others
and lastly
JOCUR_IMAGES
Joker? Get it? His big laugh is to run to the bank with all the money he's made off WOMEN. WOMEN he hates. WOMEN he can never meet. But WOMEN he can abuse for $$$$$.
Invading a woman's privacy and profiting from it, by making PRODUCT out of an illegal image? That is what he is doing to Elizabeth Hurley:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Elizabeth-Hurley-Nude-4x6-Photo-Celebrity-Female-Nude-Actress-Print-eh4/362200708712?hash=item5454d83668:g:hLEAAOSw9OFZGJML
Who could license, legally, over TWO THOUSAND IMAGES of movie stars? Getty. Not HIM. All he does is duplicate images he has NO RIGHT TO DUPLICATE, and pockets all the money.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/jocur_images/m.html?item=362200708712&hash=item5454d83668%3Ag%3AhLEAAOSw9OFZGJML&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
He is abusing:
Drew Barrymore
Helen Hunt
Ursula Andress
Farrah Fawcett
Pamela Anderson
and many others...with images stolen off the Internet, stolen and copied from Playboy and other magazines, and otherwise obtained ILLEGALLY.
But that's not all with this guy. Like too many others on EBAY, he goes to 4CHAN and REDDIT and REVENGE PORN sites and downloads anything he can find and SELLS IT. WITHOUT A MODEL RELEASE OF AGE OR CONSENT.
Here's a woman who probably had no idea that her boyfriend was taking a photo of her:
This woman certainly didn't expect that her boyfriend or husband would upload it to the Internet, or stick it on a REVENGE PORN site, or that it would be for SALE on EBAY, in their sneaky "adult section."
Who is protecting women from this kind of abuse? It's one thing to take nude photos for your own private use. It's another to have them sold by and to strangers. The shame is not with the woman, it's with the SELLER.
This photo should not jeopardize her career, her standing in her community, or her LIFE.
One day she might be recognized by a total stranger who might stalk her, rape her and kill her. All this so that a JOKER named JOCUR_IMAGES can make a few dollars and split it with PAYPAL and EBAY.
There is nothing in his ad about having a model release for the image; This is all he says about the photos he sells:
- - - - -
The GOOD news: all photos from the seller AWESOMEPHOTOS were removed on January 10th.
AWESOMEPHOTOS is still registered as an active EBAY seller and still has a PAYPAL account, but is apparently on at least a one month suspension.
As regulars to this site know, AWESOMEPHOTOS was getting away with this for FAR too long. For MONTHS. No excuse for it at all, except eBay's ineptitude and/or misogyny and arrogance.
For those bookmarking the auctions ready to do some last-minute snipering, eBay keeps the item up but offers no way for it to be sold. The reason is a bit enigmatic:
On eBay, "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available" could mean what it says, but usually means a) the seller was told to remove it, or b) eBay pulled the auctions in one massive purge and that phrase is as good as any.
The bad news? AWESOMESELLERS was not suspended. It's possible that, like JOHNSWELLSTUFF12, (this seller was simply given a "cooling off" period of a week or a month). Whether this seller will return (as JOHNSWELLSTUFF12 did several times) to keep on selling and keep taking the warnings until there's a permanent suspension, nobody knows.
The other bad news? It's the fact that it took two months to get this seller off eBay.
Ebay continues to haphazardly ignore "report item" complaints, and they don't even have a fixed rule on the number of VeRO DMCA's they accept before admitting that a seller has NO licensing and is a counterfeit fraudster. It's possible Rose McGowan and Mira Sorvino filed, but it wasn't until Sally Field did, that eBay took action.
It's also possible NONE of them did, and it was more a case of people phoning eBay, Tweeting about it, mentioning it on Facebook, sending letters, and also contacting Paypal to urge them to uphold THEIR terms of service which prohibit such items to be sold using their credit card system. Ebay and Paypal BOTH make it difficult to speak to "real" people or, more importantly, "real" people in positions of authority. The flunkies say, "Oh, not to worry, I will forward this," but they won't tell YOU how to report directly to "Risk Management" at Paypal or "Trust and Safety" on eBay.
Meanwhile, three contemporaries of AWESOMEPHOTOS are still at it. All three of these images have been reported, in some cases many weeks ago (the sellers run 30 day auctions) and nothing has happened.
How is it possible, that in this #METOO era, somebody at eBay can look at the faked up photo of Cameron Diaz and NOT find it "offensive materials?" HOW?
The idea here is NOT to sell to fans of Diaz, but to sell to angry, abusive people who want to see somebody degraded and taken down to gutter level. Do it to a Black, Muslim or Jew, and the item is removed for promoting "hate," but if it's done to a woman, it's not misogny? REALLY?
There are many ways to make fun of public figures, or to parody them, but to do THAT kind of thing is clearly meant to assault their femininity and turn them into whores and sluts and objects of derision. It's called HATE. It's a powerful turn-on for some, but for those people, there are the many bondage and S&M porn items that feature women who are willing to perform and sign model releases. So why offer this kind of thing instead? Because the hate-thrill is that Diaz has no idea it's being done to her. Because the "fun" of S&M and B&D is lessened if the viewer knows that the woman is being paid, and is willing.
The sneaky seller ALLTHATGLITTERS1 has been caught over and over and over using "censor dots" to sell nude images right out in the open, in the "normal" area of eBay. Is it myopia or apathy that led somebody at eBay to glance at this image and NOT remove it?
It's a stolen and duped movie still that trades in on Sharon Tate. The image IS nude, but the "clever" seller blurred the exposed nipple. The seller here has blood-soaked hands, and has the same morality as Charles Manson. He's proven it time and again by also selling fake nudes. He's been reported and stopped dozens of times but eBay has NO fixed rules on how often a seller can be reported, or how many accounts a seller can have for selling the same types of dupe photos.
