eBay may use broad discretion when removing items that depict minors.
What is the policy?
We don't allow listings with the following or similar items or descriptions:
- Images of minors who are not fully clothed
- Images of minors where the item description is based on their clothing
- Modelling photos of minors, even when the subject is fully clothed
- Listings that include the words "child", "children", "young girls", or "young boys" to describe an item containing nudity or sexual situations, even when the subject or performers are at least 18 years old, or the words are part of the product title
- Listings that include the words "teen", "teens", "teenager", or "Lolita" in a sexual context, without indicating that the subject or performers are at least 18 years old
- Listings for minor anime, such as Shota-con, Lolicon, and similar or related items
Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn’t, eBay may take action consistent with applicable laws and the eBay User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.

Why does eBay have this policy?
This policy helps protect minors from compromising situations, even when listings are not intended to be sexual or pornographic in nature.
