The listings and
advertisements for these items are restricted to the mature audience only
section of eBay.
In order to view or bid on items that are listed in the mature audience only
section of eBay, a user must be eighteen years of age or older.
(That is some comfort...at least the kids cant see this stuff...or at least they
arent supposed to be able to see it.)
Bidders must also produce credit card information prior to bidding on items in
this section as well.
The theory behind this is that those under eighteen dont have access to a credit
card....which is certainly questionable.
Anybody with a social security number (whether it is their own number or not)
and a fake ID can get a credit card in this day and age.
Its reported all the time that even a dog can be issued a credit card so this
doesnt seem like much proof of age.
It is mostly left up to the parents to supervise their teenagers closely enough
to insure that they are not viewing or bidding on items that are listed in the
mature section of eBay just as they are responsible for keeping their children
from watching X rated movies.

Once you have done your homework you are ready to begin bidding on an item or
just buying it by choosing the buy it now option.
There is a process by which buyers and sellers can iron out any differences or
misunderstandings. They can exchange emails through eBay or they can speak by
telephone.
If there are problems after a sale, however, that the buyer and seller cannot
work out, there is an arbitration process. |
