... ie anti BDSM? I only ask because you used to be able to type in "12 plait" into an Ebay search and find pages of single-tails. OK, most of them were awful, but they were there. Ditto when you searched for "bullwhip". Now you seem to get only a single page or so, generally of nasty "quality whips" from Spain with red crackers for £10 or less. OK, I guess seeing less crap is good - but seeing the (admittedly few) good items vanish altogether is a shame. What I can't work out is whether there's some "Ebay policy" thing going on, or whether the sellers of crap have just given themselves such a dreadful reputation among Ebay whip buyers that they've been deserted and gone out of business.

Ebay went prim and propper some time ago it started with the refusla to list gags and other leather toys like floggers it became almost impossible to list whips canes or other impact toys, a simple anon complaint would have vendors like myself suspended and or taken down for ever increasing lengths of times go to a market or contact some one like essentia whips in the UK, or look at some one like Mike Murphy in Austrailia Pagliacci Pagliacci A Clown bye name and nature, A DOM bye desire and passion |

If your lucky from time to time you will find someone selling there own personal toy collections (or parts there of) but there are rare. I Missed the bid on a sweet armband and a sleepsack, oh well... |

eBay took down some of my listings because they showed a female nipple. I mean, come on. A fucking nipple! You can show men's nipples on there, but not women's, which is somewhat discriminatory. In general though, they are getting harder and harder to deal with as their market share decreases. www.brightonfab.com www.fetiqueuk.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhKU-tmSQR8 |

An eBay shop has suddenly appeared in my high st - seems the service is to take things in and flog them for you - sort of preBay eBay - now I've seen everything! I've already told you: the only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure. |

this is a franchise and they charge about 7% ontop of Ebay fees so for the lazy they are ideal for any one else bloody expensive Pagliacci A Clown bye name and nature, A DOM bye desire and passion |

perhaps we should have an informed consent auction like ebay where toys clothes ect can be auctioned... You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.... |

Well i came across this by, erm, pure chance, whilst searching for something else. And THIS is just plain scary!! Saint Severin, the benchmark by which purity, holiness & normality are measured. Edited 29 Nov 07, 11:53 PM by HisHoliness |

If I am going to look for any think "adult" I look on ebid as they seem to have more then ebay does in that area its not the winning its the taking apart |

Do a search for adult e-bay on google (or another search engine, I suppose) and it comes up with 7 or 8 different auction sites that cater specifically to adult goods. Oh, and you might also see a link to see adult stuff on e-bay, too. E-bay still stocks adult gear, but you have to sign up or change a setting or something - there should be instructions in the resuklts of the above search - at least there was when I did it a few weeks ago. Hope that helps. A-P "Stop thinking for yourselves, start thinking for God! Let's start making that fucker's decisions for him!" - Grant Morrison, from The Invisibles |
