Most sellers who indulge in the "gray zone" of COPYING photos and selling these counterfeit dupes, would put their images of Shirley Temple into the general category of "Movie Memorabilia" or "Vintage Photographs."
Not the porn seller who routinely offers fake images of Maria Sharapova, Britney Spears and Scarlett Johansson. That seller, PKC527, posts a seemingly innocent Shirley Temple in the category:
PHOTOS, RISQUE.
Why? Because perverts and pedophiles surf THAT category, and they'll be attracted to a "leggy" pose of little Shirley Temple, where her panties are ALMOST showing.
Yes, in case you couldn't read the category, it's been blown up for you:
COLLECTIBLES - Photographic Images - RISQUE
Shirley Temple, born in 1928, was, according to Wikipedia, "Hollywood's number one box-office draw as a child actress from 1935 to 1938." Meaning, from the age of 7 to 10. How old does she look in the picture above? The one in the RISQUE category, aimed at PEDOPHILES?
Below, some of the other items being sold by PKC527, who kept breaking eBay's rules against publishing contact info in ads, to let everyone know to send checks and money orders (because she was thrown off Paypal) direct to Patricia Crain at her New Jersey address.
The excuse at eBay is "we're just a venue," and so they can't be aware of every seller's misdeeds. But that's why there's the "report item" feature, which they've ignored hundreds of times with this seller, refusing to end obvious and blatant Photoshop fakes, evil miscategorization (it's against eBay rules to miscategorize) and images sold with NO model release of age or CONSENT.
