It may be worth asking them what you need to get approved

If you walk the walk and talk the talk, you can sell them. |

Instead of risking your main account why not start a new account and apply with that one just to see what the process entails? Better safe then sorry.

Im sure if they ask for anything that makes me uncomfortable, I can just say iv changed my business plan we wont be planning to sell such items now.
As far as making another account, I only have one account. I feel that creating a new account will just complicate things , I dont want to wake the dog

There isn't any harm in asking

Have you tried just listing your products in the Adult Only section? I used to sell massive amounts of adult products in that section years ago and never had to apply for anything.

I would presume the process is super simple. Just fill out the form expressing your interest to sell in this category and mention in the comments you have understood their policy and will adhere to it.
Thorough information, including the policy surrounding this topic can be found here: WARNING EBAY LINK ( https://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/polici...tml#guidelines)
The same process applies to those selling in other closed categories such as e-cigs etc.

I cleaned it up a bit, maybe it's still funny? |

I got an email from ebay today. They would like to speak to me in relation to the application
Not sure what questions they will ask me
They want to know what is the best time to call, of course the number on my account is a redirect service that goes to my mobile phone.
