They're banning almost all adult content for some strange reason.

It's like they want to give even more ground to Amazon.

The newest game on that list is from 2015, so there's probably not a whole lot they're banning from being listed on eBay.


Though I'm confused why GTA5 is not on that list. I play it, it's violent and sexual.

GTA V isn't R-Rated/18 rated everywhere, so that's a loophole I think.

Guess it pays to have Rockstar's wealth and influence, cos it should be rated where no one under 18 should be allowed to play it regardless of where they're from.

eg you can pick up a prostitute, pay her for sex, then murder her, take your money back, cover her corpse with gasoline and light the body on fire, then watch it burn while drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette. Afterwards, you can that money you murdered for and gamble it away.

Oh, I've played it lol, so I know what you mean. I know in some countries though, 17 is the age they have for things like that. Though who knows what Ebay will do about things like that.
