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

His list of victims includes:

Susan Sarandon
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?
jpaulcelebphotos
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.

Let the Buyer Beware? NO, say TIMES UP to FRAUDS
Apathy is NOT acceptable.
Thinking you've done something by signing an Internet petition is pathetic.
ACTION is contacting lazy stupid manager and agents, moronic "rights" organizations and unions (such as RIAA, SAG, AFTRA) and individual artists and saying: DO THE RIGHT THING.
Some managers laugh at the way their clients are abused. Like, "Living well is the best revenge" and "it's just whack-a-mole to try and stop anyone."
Well, "living well" shouldn't apply to perverts, misogynists and forgers. They should NOT make money off the gullibility of eBay bidders. "Let the buyer beware" is smug. Sure, a fool who buys a fake Dana Plato signed nude is out $50, but the person who did it should NOT enjoy that $50.
As for "whack-a-mole," eBay VeRO reps state, as fact, that 90% of the jerks who get suspended STAY suspended. They can't get shills and they can't come back and do the same thing.
THIS guy should be suspended from eBay. But it won't happen if SAG and AFTRA continue to sleep, and if Jennifer Anisten, Cameron Diaz, Lynda Carter and their friends remain wrapped in cotton and oblivious to what's going on with their intellectual property.

"TIMES UP" in 2018? Or IS it?
The abuses of Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer and others have made headlines around the world. What about the abuses of EBAY CEO Devin Wenig?
THIS GUY:
He thinks it's ok for his eBAY sellers to do THIS:
Really? Taking SCREEN CAPTURES out of COPYRIGHTED movies, and SELLING THEM? Doing that in violation of FEDERAL LAW that requires a signed model release of age and consent?
EBAY also thinks THIS is ok:
Making obscene MAGNETS and selling them!
EBAY also thinks THIS is ok:
Selling FAKE NUDE images with FORGERY SIGNATURES.
All of this goes on every day in the "secret" ADULTS ONLY area of eBay. It's easy enough to find. You scroll down to the EVERYTHING ELSE menu on the front page of eBay. OR, you type in some phrase like X-RATED DVD and you'll get a prompt and link to the ADULTS ONLY area.
If you have an eBay membership, it's very easy to get to the porn:

ALL TYPES OF PORN
Sellers who have been repeatedly stopped for their degrading garbage, are STILL ON THE SITE. Foremost is THIS character from Louisiana who calls himself AWESOME PHOTOS.
His idea of AWESOME is selling, as REAL, fakes on wholesome stars such as Barbara Eden:
Want more? His list includes over 800 items. He's making good money for himself and for EBAY CEO DEVIN WENIG, the pimp who takes a percentage.
Got your EBAY membership name and password handy? See the complete list:

AWESOMEPHOTOS complete list
There's some group that says TIME'S UP for this kind of thing. Really? Let's hope so. Let's hope TWEETING isn't ALL they do.
So far, among the jerks who have done nothing about the problem: EVERY agency. EVERY manager. They only take money from actresses. They don't want to protect them and take a moment to send a DMCA.
Who else? SAG. AFTRA. They want actresses to pay union dues. THEY won't have a VERO rep to send in DMCA's, or alert actresses to the free VeRO reps willing to do the job.
The current INTERNET rules state that all EBAY has to do is obey a takedown request. This means that an actress has to have a VERO (verified rights owner) rep. That rep sends in the auction number of the item, and the item is removed.
What SHOULD be done? Any fan should be able to report an auction such as the ones above. They don't just violate "intellectual property." These auctions are VILE.
Sellers who exploit, degrade and humiliate women for profit should NOT be on eBay.
Ah, but we're talking about WOMEN. EBAY actually has an "offensive materials" rule, but it ONLY applies to religious and ethnic material. You can't sell KKK material on eBAY. You can't sell NAZI material on eBay. You can't have a Photoshop image of Obama being lynched or of Netanyahu being lynched. But ANY ACTRESS DEGRADED? You sure can. You can sell a ton of it.
It's time EBAY formally acknowledges that WOMEN need to be protected.
It's time EBAY formally acknowledges that FEDERAL LAW needs to be respected, which means that you can't sell photos without a signed model release of AGE and CONSENT.
It's time that ANY FAN of a star can report the items above, and not just the VeRO rep an actress has chosen (paid or unpaid) to file DMCA takedowns.
It's time EBAY suspends sellers who offer material like this, and not say, "Oh, just because he was caught by two or three women, it doesn't mean he hasn't permission from 800 others." FACT: AWESOMEPHOTOS was reported and has had auctions stopped, but EBAY refuses to suspend him. Why?
"We can't be sure Victoria Principal, Sarah Palin, Pat Benatar, Raquel Welch, Charo, Suzanne Somers, Cher, Salma Hayek or Hilary Clinton haven't agreed to let him sell fake nudes on them. And since we are NOT REQUIRED to ask a seller for a signed model release, WE WILL LET THE SELLER KEEP ON DOING IT."
Because women are not getting respected.
Ebay has been called on it time and again. 1 (866) 540-3229 - call up for yourself. You might get a WOMAN who will check an auction number, agree with you "this is awful...this is not right...this is very offensive...not to worry, I will pass this to our trust and safety division for removal..." and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. AWESOMEPHOTOS has been doing this for months now, and every time eBay gets a call and they are told, "Hasn't this seller been reported already? Why the delay?" the response is "not to worry. I will report this for you."
It's TIME that EBAY installs REAL RULES and not THIS kind of crap:
Why is it that degrading Photoshop pictures of WOMEN (including "My ex wife" and "My ex girlfriend" not just celebrities) are allowed, while THIS stuff is not?
EBAY does have rules, they just don't think woman-hate and misogyny and sexual abuse is an issue:
Ebay is fine with THIS stuff:
You know what misogynist guys look like when they stare at porn like this? They look a LOT like CEO DEVIN WENIG:
OK, TIMES UP. OK, SAG and AFTRA. OK big agencies that control the top stars. When are you going to tell EBAY to obey Federal Law and common sense and END the abuse of women?
EBAY is just below AMAZON as the busiest website for Internet sales. This is not a MINOR issue. Jerks on EBAY make THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS a week just by abusing women with fake Photoshop pictures. $20 to $100 an image...adds up. That's why CEO Devin Wenig keeps them around. Or does he just like the POWER of telling famous women to shove it?
Right now, EVERY famous actress should assign somebody to be a VERO rep. It's easy and simple. Just fill out a form stating you want the assigned person to remove offensive auctions. That person can then remove any and all porn, fakes, dupes, etc. It SHOULD be done. NOW. For more information:
http://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/listing/create-effective-listings/vero-program.html#m17-1-tb2
The VeRO program
VeRO is a free service. Ebay does not charge to process takedowns.
Some celebs use "pay" services such as Web Sheriff, Digimarc or Grayzone to surf eBay and other places and remove violations, but ANYONE can be a VeRO rep on eBay. Raquel Welch: your manager, your agent, your webmaster, a fan...ANYONE can monitor eBay each week and pull offensive auctions. That goes for ALL of you. All eBay requires is a signed release stating that the VeRO rep is AUTHORIZED.
So DO IT.
And let's see big shot agencies, big shot movements on Twitter, big shot lawyers like Gloria Allred, and big shot unions like SAG and AFTRA get together and STOP THE ABUSE.
You know what's impressive? ACTION?
You know what's bullshit? TWEETS. "SIGN THE PETITION" TWEETS. Actresses such as Jennifer Lawrence saying she stands with her sisters, while some jerk on eBAY considers her nothing but a bitch with a "bush," and someone he can PIMP with IMPUNITY.
Shame on you Jennifer is if you let THIS continue:
THIS GUY:
He thinks it's ok for his eBAY sellers to do THIS:
Really? Taking SCREEN CAPTURES out of COPYRIGHTED movies, and SELLING THEM? Doing that in violation of FEDERAL LAW that requires a signed model release of age and consent?

And let's see big shot agencies, big shot movements on Twitter, big shot lawyers like Gloria Allred, and big shot unions like SAG and AFTRA get together and STOP THE ABUSE.
You know what's impressive? ACTION?
You know what's bullshit? TWEETS. "SIGN THE PETITION" TWEETS. Actresses such as Jennifer Lawrence saying she stands with her sisters, while some jerk on eBAY considers her nothing but a bitch with a "bush," and someone he can PIMP with IMPUNITY.
Shame on you Jennifer is if you let THIS continue:

Why is EBAY and CEO DEVIN WENIG STILL Misogynistic and TWISTED?
Tavis Smiley, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Tambor...
Al Franken, Charlie Rose, Kevin Spacey...
CEO OF EBAY DEVIN WENIG.
When is THAT guy going to take the walk of shame, and have reporters follow him? When is Senator KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND of New York going to demand HIS resignation?
When is EBAY going to obey Federal Law and stop allowing outrageous illegal photos that do not have a model release of age and consent?
When is EBAY going to understand that HUMILIATING WOMEN FOR PROFIT is HATEFUL?
Here are two sellers, AWESOMEPHOTOS and XUSCGX and BADWOLFE who are merrily making money by ABUSING and DEGRADING famous women.
What is going on here is outrageous, illegal, offensive, vicious and hateful.
SO WHY IS IT STILL GOING ON? Where is Rose McGowan? Where is that asshole roaming the streets putting up anti-Meryl Streep posters? Where are the people from ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT? Where are the women of THE VIEW?
Why is it that this ABOMINABLE behavior continues? Ebay has "offensive materials" rules that protect Jews and Blacks. Sellers can't offer KKK or Nazi memorabilia. BUT...they can offer vicious, anti-woman HATE like the items above.
Al Franken is out of the U.S. Senate because he may have touched some woman on the fanny during a busy meet and greet. But it's all right to create hardcore vicious images on Theron, or to pretend that naked photos of Sally Field are REAL?
This ends when Rose McGowan and the rest of the so-called FEMINISTS get their little fingers on the keyboards and TWEET about EBAY. Come on ROSE, you can do it.
It ends when TAYLOR SWIFT's VERO REP makes sure that Taylor is NO LONGER ABUSE in the ADULT AREA.
It ends when so-called hot-shot attorneys like Gloria Allred file a class action lawsuit.
It ends when so-called feminist New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand makes sure that EBAY does not violate FEDERAL LAW and that laws that allow this kind of obnoxious behavior are CHANGED. The Internet should not be a place where jerks named AWESOMEPHOTOS can humiliate and libel every major actress.
It is also outrageous that the stars who DO have conscientious VERO reps have not been able to get sellers like this suspended. EBAY and twisted sick CEO DEVIN WENIG, actually allow sellers to keep going after a complaint. For some insane reason, EBAY has not suspended the three sellers above even though ALL of them have received takedowns from various VERO reps on behalf of actresses.
Al Franken is the problem? The attitude of big companies like EBAY is a problem, too, and they have to learn what Harvey Weinstein learned, which is that the BIGGER YOU ARE, THE HARDER YOU ARE GOING TO FALL.
DEVIN WENIG the CEO OF EBAY is in SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO PUT HIM ON CAMERA AND ASK HIM WHY HE IS SUCH A MISERABLE WOMAN-HATING DOUCHE.
Al Franken, Charlie Rose, Kevin Spacey...
CEO OF EBAY DEVIN WENIG.

KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND, INEFFECTUAL AS EVER, A FAKE FEMINIST
Kirsten Gillibrand.
Several people e-mailed and wrote to you about EBAY ignoring FEDERAL LAW.
That's a FEDERAL issue. It's a FEDERAL LAW that pornographers must have a SIGNED MODEL RELEASE OF AGE AND CONSENT.
Look at any sex magazine, DVD, or adult website, and you'll see the compliance. EBAY does not comply. And YOU have ignored this.
You have NOT held a press conference and demanded that EBAY have a "report item" link for degrading women as they do for degrading blacks and Jews (ie, "report item" for being involved in KKK or Nazi hate-type activity).
Isn't THIS hateful?
Here's a seller with FOUR HUNDRED fake nudes, sold as real, degrading women, humiliating women, and YOU and YOUR OFFICE have ignored this.
Instead, you grandstand a demand or Trump to resign, knowing full well he is NOT going to do it. He is NOT Al Franken. Your colleague, senior NY Senator Charles Schumer, met with Al, twisted his arm, told him to resign "for the good of the party," so that the Democrats would seem strong and could then go after Roy Moore. Only Roy Moore has not resigned from the Alabama race. And Trump isn't going to resign because YOU told him to.
But it sure makes YOU look good, which is the whole point.
From somebody indeed, "lightweight" as Trump said, totally ineffectual, with no accomplishments to match Al Franken or anyone else in the Senate, YOU have "made sexual assault the focus" of your career.
Except on eBay? Because EBAY makes money, and MONEY makes the world go 'round?
Let's add that Kirstin Gillibrand isn't the only female senator with wax up her ears. NONE of the U.S. Senators, FEMALE, have responded to any constituent who has brought up the EBAY issue. NOT A ONE. None of them have sent back an email, sent back a letter, or Tweeted a "thank you, we'll take the appropriate action."
This EBAY seller has been reported, and reported, and reported. Since this seller arrived in November, REPORTED. And NEVER STOPPED. He's doing it to IVANKA TRUMP, too.

Where are you on this? Why aren't you calling out EBAY CEO DEVIN WENIG for being just as awful as AL FRANKEN or JEFFREY TAMBOR or JAMES LEVINE?
OR Leonard Lopate or Jonathan Schwartz? You, as a New Yorker, know that WNYC suspended those two men and have not even told them why. They got SOME kind of complaint of sexual misconduct. What do you call what CEO DEVIN WENIG is allowing? Mere Boys Will be Boys pranks?
Show Donald Trump you aren't really LIGHTWEIGHT, and do something better than political grandstanding. You can start by demanding EBAY suspend the jerk in Louisiana who calls himself AWESOMEPHOTOS because, and you may not understand this being so lightweight, WHAT THIS SELLER DOES IS DEGRADING, DISGUSTING, HUMILIATING, AND ILLEGAL UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
That includes what he is doing to SARAH PALIN AND NATALIE PORTMAN and EVERY OTHER WOMAN WHO IS SUCCESSFUL AND READY TO BE PIMPED FOR PROFIT, WITH A PERCENTAGE GOING RIGHT INTO THE POCKET OF DEVIN WENIG, CEO.
NOTE: Ebay's "adult section" is hidden in the "everything else" category. If you type in HOLIDAY SPECIAL SARAH PALIN you won't see it listed. That's devious, isn't it?
AWESOMEPHOTOS has over 400 filthy auctions such as the above
You can peel THIS link, and see if one of YOUR favorite female stars is being degraded by this perverted parasite. (You have to be a member of eBay to see adult auctions)

MATT LAUER is GONE...ABUSE OF KATHY LEE GIFFORD REMAINS???
WHAT is EBAY THINKING?
THE SELLER OF THIS ITEM HAS BEEN ON EBAY FOR MONTHS. BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES VIA "REPORT ITEM" AND VIA PHONE SUPPORT.
CAN WE NOT SEE ANY MORE OF THIS SELLER, AND ABUSES LIKE THIS????
THIS IS ON THE SITE, DECEMBER 5th, and the seller has OVER 400 MORE FAKE NUDE ITEMS (SOLD AS REAL).
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. Isn't it?
Attention ALL female celebrities: Get someone to be your VERO REP. All you need to do is sign a form allowing someone (a friend, relative, lawyer, manager) to send in a takedown request. For more information: VERO@EBAY.COM.
It is BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS that eBay's "report item" link doesn't have a clear dropdown menu choice for "OFFENSIVE MATERIALS: sexual abuse." They have "OFFENSIVE MATERIALS" for VIOLENT IMAGES, and KKK material and NAZI material, but not for "SEXUAL ABUSE; Material for sale in violation of FEDERAL LAW which requires a SIGNED MODEL RELEASE of age and CONSENT."
EBAY needs to understand that if Matt Lauer can disappear, EBAY can get a class action lawsuit, and can be prosecuted for violating FEDERAL LAW. The "we're just a venue" excuse doesn't work. EBAY can't sell heroin and claim "we're just a venue." EBAY can NOT VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW
How is it possible for a seller like this to keep going even after being reported over a MONTH AGO? Auctions reported were not even REMOVED!

EBAY CEO DEVIN WENIG IS WORSE THAN CHARLIE ROSE
You want to talk about Charlie Rose, Al Franken, Jeffrey Tambor, Dustin Hoffman, Garrison Keillor or others who may have said something wrong, or touched a butt or sent a wrong signal?
How about DEVIN WENIG of EBAY, who allows sellers to ABUSE WOMEN in vile ways like this:
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?? THIS SELLER WAS REPORTED BACK ON NOVEMBER 3rd. THE AUCTIONS REPORTED WERE NEVER STOPPED. MANY WERE SOLD, LIKE THIS TAYLOR SWIFT ITEM. $30 into this perverted misogynist's pocket. Others could've sold and were relisted.
How about DEVIN WENIG of EBAY, who allows sellers to ABUSE WOMEN in vile ways like this:
What's the excuse? Julia Roberts is asking for this?
Or is it ok as long as it's being done for MONEY?
Why is it that EBAY continues to flaunt FEDERAL LAW? FEDERAL LAW demands that pornographers have SIGNED MODEL RELEASES OF AGE AND CONSENT.
CONSENT.
That also applies to eBay sellers who offer "ex-wife" and "ex-girlfriend" pictures, or simply claim to have "hot pictures" of some woman who is NOT a professional model.
It's time to RESPECT WOMEN NOW. Call eBay on this. USE SOCIAL MEDIA. Tell eBay to STOP THIS ABUSE.
This JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS ITEM WAS REPORTED AND NOT STOPPED. WHY?
EBAY has a "REPORT ITEM" link and it does not work. "REPORT ITEM" to "Offensive Materials" and SOMEBODY over there doesn't find this OFFENSIVE.
NOT OFFENSIVE?
Call up eBay 1 (866) 540-3229
ASK THEM WHY THE SELLER "AWESOMEPHOTOS" is not suspended. Ask them if DEVIN WENIG is some sick pervert WORSE than celebrities who have lost their jobs. This man should RESIGN if he thinks these pictures aren't offensive.
The Taylor Swift item: 253237315660
The Carrie Fisher item: 253237774239
