I've taken a little time looking around in the Mature section, but haven't gone into the policies, etc.

I do know that they do their best to make it difficult to sell there, but obviously it's generating $$$ or they would elminate it, Ebay has the moral fiber of a rabbit.

No Buy It Nows, no Stores listings, no PayPal, etc. can make it a bit harder to do, but I see ways around that.

I see some unexplored niches and pathetic competition in all the areas I've browsed so far.

I've also seen one hell of a lot of copyright infringement going on, but perhaps a lot of the owners of the content being resold may be out of business or haven't looked.

I saw a lot of content for sale over there that I had licensed years ago and many of the glam super-star cds have so many top-notch photographers on them that there's no way they could be legal.

I haven't had the time to properly investigate it yet, but I have a feeling that there's some money to be made, don't know so far just how much.

There were 3 really lame audio listings, but some actually sold. Hrmmm..wonder where I could find some audio to toss up there? :)

I also saw a few areas where one could advertise in adult with crosspromotions to the same item listed on the main site with a different description to get around the Mature restrictions.

So, has anyone else done anything over there? What was your take on it?

Haven't done selling on Ebay since the fuckers froze my account in the middle of two auctions even after I paid to have their ID verification system thingie done. Man was I pissed. It's certainly not as easy to make money there as it once was as it's hard to find good dropshippers that allow you to make a decent enough profit. Most of the ones that i found required memberships to get a half decent discount and such.

Heather,

off topic but have you checked out www.xbay.com, looks to be an adult auction place. I don't think they should of picked that name though :)

Thanks Todd, you're right, I'm betting it won't be around long.

Kind of surprised that no one's attempted it, we'll see.
