"Oh yes, we've gotten a lot of complaints on this one...several restrictions...the seller was suspended for a while. This seller will most certainly get another warning..." For breaking Federal Law? Shouldn't eBay take FEDERAL LAW MORE SERIOUSLY?
This repeat offender, some kind of sociopath who can't stop abusing and degrading women for a few dollars, does NOT have MODEL RELEASES OF AGE AND CONSENT. IF a woman has NOT CONSENTED that's a CRIME.
We're talking about not just celebrities being Photoshopped, or having their images freeze-framed and sold without their knowledge. We're talking about HACKING computers, STEALING pictures and REVENGE PORN.
Does this woman know that the "JOCUR" is wild about selling her image without her knowledge? Nowhere in the ad does he say he has a signed model release from her (or a thousand others he sells). Just crap about "sold collector to collector." EBAY, can you also sell heroin that way? "Collector to collector?"
Why is it that you have rules against KKK and NAZI material being sold on your site, but YOU DO NOT PROTECT WOMEN?
The first image? What's the cruel "logic" here? That if a woman poses like that for her boyfriend, it's HER fault if he breaks up with her and throws the image all over the Internet?
The second image? What's the cruel "logic" here? That Natalie Portman is a STAR, so let's take her down a peg? Let's Photoshop her image and degrade and humiliate her for being successful?
The bottom line is that after all this time, EBAY still does NOT have a "report item" category for: ADULT -- photo without model release, celebrity Photoshop, or other similar abuse. WHY NOT?
Why is it the "JOCUR" is wild again, coming off restrictions and suspensions to do the same thing over and over?

RESPECTABLE pornographers (yes, indeed) not only make sure to have a SIGNED MODEL RELEASE OF AGE AND CONSENT on their websites, on the label of the DVD and on the inside front page of the magazine, they usually go FURTHER. They have a photo of the model holding up a driver's license or other means of identification, to PROVE the age and the real name.
EBAY thinks being "just a venue" absolves them from FEDERAL LAW. Where is #METOO and "TIMES UP" to ask CEO Devin Wenig to STOP HUMILIATING AND DEGRADING WOMEN FOR FUN AND PROFIT?
