EBAY CEO ladies - what you allow on Maria Sharapova is VICIOUS. You wouldn't want it done to YOU

Nice that eBay has a few women on their executive team:

What would happen if an employee showed around Photoshopped images of these two, naked and in pornographic poses? That employee would be fired.

On eBay, however, sellers don't get suspended. The seller below, FEMALE, has been at it for a year now, and has hardly even gotten a restriction. Every week, 8,000 auctions are up, and loaded with offensive FAKE NUDE images, and nude pictures for which the seller has NO model release of AGE or CONSENT. 

Today on eBay you'll find, Patricia Crain offering obviously FAKE images of Maria Sharapova. The fake images imply that the tennis star routinely poses naked, and has no modesty even on the tennis court. 

It's up to Maria's high-powered agent MAX EISENBUD to spend his time checking eBay's sneaky "adult category" section every week to protect her reputation? He should ask an intern to do it? Shouldn't any fan of Sharapova's be able to report these items and have them removed based on eBAY rules? 

Supposedly this material is covered by the nebulous "ADULT MATERIAL/not allowed at all." Ebay does NOT define what "not allowed at all" means. The chance of someone using "report item" to get these images stopped is less than 50-50. Why? Because eBay hires a lot of low-pay people in foreign countries who don't even understand specific eBay rules. The VeRO department understands, but they can only act IF a star has an authorized rep sending faxing or emailing auction numbers. The VeRO department also can't automatically suspend anyone. Another rather lax department is in charge of this, and it can take many reports and warnings before a seller is reluctantly removed. 

Meanwhile this seller PKC527 has been on eBay for years doing the same thing, which involves having NO permission for duplicating images, and selling fakes that pretend that actresses pose naked and don't care who sees the images. MILA KUNIS: 

MEGAN FOX...SELMA HAYAK....

When a woman chooses to appear nude on stage or in a film, its because the plot requires it and it's part of who the character is. People such as Patricia Crain sell screencaps often pulled from split-second moments, and offer them as ACTRESS NAKED. 

Why haven't eBay's FEMALE CEO's insisted that eBay's "offensive materials" rules include "celebrity nude images?" Why don't they insist that images of nude women without a model release of age and consent be banned? Why not ban "screencap" nude scenes from movies printed on a computer out of context and sold for sniggering degradation and voyeurism? 

The Sharapova images make a cheap profit. Three dollars a picture. That's worth the risk of murder or rape? 

Actress Rebecca Schaeffer was killed by a deranged fan. Monica Seles was nearly killed by a deranged fan who liked a rival tennis player! Gwyneth Paltrow, Taylor Swift and others have had to take out restraining orders against "fans." Yet...here is an irresponsible seller on a supposedly responsible, famous, and prosperous website (rival only to Amazon) who will sell fake images of Maria Sharapova to some stranger who may think the images are real and want to stalk her. Stalk her like sports reporter Erin Andrews was stalked with a hidden camera. Stalked like Monica Seles or Rebecca Schaeffer. 

Why allow this? Why not tighten eBay rules? If anyone circulated fake nudes on Maria Oh Huber, that person would be fired instantly. THIS seller hasn't been suspended yet. 

Another insanity is that when Paypal "cut her loose" (an employee at Paypal's own word for it), eBay did NOT. Ebay actually allows sellers to use banned payments (check and money order) in the ADULT section, even when they don't allow it in the general area of the site! 

WHY? Because they want sellers who have been kicked off Paypal to keep selling degenerate porn. Paypal actually has no "terms of service" rules against nudity or even adult material. It's a question of how 'offensive' it is. They found Patricia Crain offensive. Ebay hasn't. 

Crain puts ALL 8,000 of her auctions in the adult category, even the thousands of ordinary counterfeit images of clothed celebrities, because eBay rules would not allow her to use checks/money orders for payment outside the ADULT category. Is she clever, or is eBay stupid? Or is it that eBay just doesn't care all that much about the rights of women?

Celebrities are just famous women. That doesn't mean they aren't human and won't bleed if you stick a knife in their back (as someone did to Monica Seles). It doesn't mean they can't be hurt and devastated by stolen images (Jennifer Lawrence) or feel degraded by fakes (Scarlett Johansson, who publicly complained about the problem being all over the Internet). Ebay has tried to be more and more like Amazon, in offering new merchandise, and turning the site from being a glorified thrift shop and garate sale. Yet, AMAZON does not allow nude celebrity photos and does not maintain a secret "adult" section for "found" images, "my wife" images, or hidden camera upskirts on Britney Spears or fake images of Spears and a hundred others. 

Marie Oh Huber shouldn't be walking around in a baldcap, but in one way, she could be a LOT more like Jeff Bezos: not allowing the degradation, humiliation and abuse of women via nude images posted without a model release of age and consent.
