Question Re: Used socks policy in Selling on eBay DND

Used socks policy

home-sweet-home-mary — Sat, 23 May 2020 09:56:22 GMT

Being bored and with time on my hands I came across some sellers selling used ladies gym socks with photos of extremely grubby socks being modelled. I have known for some time that this is against ebay policy so why haven't these listings been removed? I notice that the "Condition" box that has been chosen is "New with defects" The description goes on to say they are used. Is this how they get away with it I wonder?

Just curious.

They get away with it because they haven't been reported!

there is a report button on every listing.....turn your boredom into a hobby and get reporting....😊

As said, report, but be aware that ebay has many other problems on hand so this no doubt will not be top of their priorities at the moment.

Yes maybe eBay has other issues to deal with at the moment. Thanks for your answers, take care x
