Edit: adding related news report;
Anatomy of an eBay scam

Here we see a thread from the T & S board, wherein a shocked consumer, once again, complains about porn, or naked pictures in inappropriate categories.
Note some of the responses.
(edited to add screencap)

[Although, of course, I agree that the nekkid female body is a thing of  awesome beauty, and a work of art, (who doesn't?) that, IMHO, is dependent upon the place and manner etc of portrayal/presentation.]

At some point, a very informative link is posted. By the time I ran into the next room to make a screencap on my other computer, it was pulled. Less than a few minutes for sure.

Luckily, we have these backed up.

Here is the screencap I took before I ran to my other computer. This is on a widescreen monitor, and, for whatever reason, such as having 9 windows with 32 tabs in each open, it was messing with the colors, as you can see. I have resized this through imageshack.us

I was able to go find the offensive listings, in the category mentioned.  Sometimes it is hard to determine the difference between the porn listing and the legit listings though, notice that below?

Those stayed up a loooong time, best as I recall.
(There is just sooo much of that sort of thing on ebaY these days, ya know)

Back to the pulled posting now... So where does the tiny url link go to?

As far as I can tell, it goes to one of the leading ebaY scam/consumer awareness related sites on the entire internet, bar none. Not sure why anyone would need to ask...

In closing, I leave you all with a paraphrased memorable quote from one of the great icons of modern techno-pop-progressive culture.

"I got a high speed modem, and a solid gold scrotum."

Will/should this be ebaY's next spokesicon?

Edit:

I was just getting ready to correct a little mistake here, checked for the porno listings again, and whaddayaknow? They are back, actually at least the 2nd block of them in the last few hours.

Note the date and times listed, and the display results mode "newly listed".

I believe there may be even more with a different keyword search.

I should also re-emphasize that these type of listings are often hijacked accounts, they most often redirect to a fake pharming page, they sometimes contain embedded objects. There are many variations on the theme

ebaY has clearly lost control over IT's own site.

I've got slow speed dial-up, but a really nice C cup! ;)

This is a great site. Lots of information. Eye opening information. How hard would it be for e-bay to get rid of the porn on their site?? They can troll auctions for mis-wording or No Paypal signs, but they can't see the porn??:o What a crock.
Thanks Admin. for giving us insight into the workings of E-BAY. You ROCK!
