Listing adult magazines on ebay.ca
Summary: lud-4367 shared their experience of listing adult magazines on eBay and having their listings removed due to policy violations. They noticed that similar listings remain active, leading to confusion about the rules, particularly whether listings are only allowed on eBay.com rather than eBay.ca. fpodfleamarket mentioned experiencing similar issues, attributing it to PayPal restrictions on adult content, and expressed curiosity about how other listings remain active. flipistics pointed out that Canada Post has restrictions on mailing explicit material and queried whether sending such items internationally might be illegal. reallynicestamps noted that eBay’s payment system has changed, no longer using PayPal, but a service called Ayden, potentially rendering previous advice obsolete. The discussion highlights ongoing confusion and regulatory complexities relating to selling adult content on eBay.
Hi,
Recently acquired adult magazines such as Playboy, Hustler, Penthouse, etc. I just started listing those magazines based on the results from the search I made into ebay. Almost all of them are in the category of "Books / magazines", so I did the same simply by clicking "Sell it yourself". However, today I received a message from ebay saying that my listing was removed because of the ebay's policy. Okay, I understand. But then I cannot help but wonder why other listings that I referenced still there? With a little bit of investigation, I have found that some have been listed in there for more than a year. It's really strange that even some hardcore magazines are still exsisted in Books / magazines category too. Is it got to do with listing the adult magazines on ebay.ca? Some say it's only allowed on ebay.COM? Can someone confirm this? Because I'm going to relist the magazine on this category, "Everything Else / Adult-Only Items / Adult-Only Magazine Back Issues" as the ebay message advised. I wonder if the listing will be removed again because I'm listing it on ebay.ca. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

The problem with zombie threads is that the information may be out of date and no longer correct.
For example, eBay sellers no longer get paid through Paypal. The Managed Payments program is run by a Dutch company called Ayden.

·3 years agoKeep in mind that Canada Post has restrictions for mailing explicit material. There are certain things you have to do in order to ship it. It also *might* be illegal to send it across an international border, but I'm not positive on that.

·3 years agoHello
I did the exact same thing before the pandemic. Listed a dozen Hustler Magazines from the 80's on .CA, removed three days later by Ebay. It has to do with Paypal i was told. Because it is considered adult content some countries may have deemed them illegal and PP can't be involved with selling something illegal or recieve money for illegal items. I tried selling them on .COM and the same thing happened. I also see adult magaizes on Ebay.CA in various catagories and wonder what they do differently or are they just dodging the system. If you get it stratened out please let me know.
