I bought two books on eBay listed under erotica. One was by Pierre Louys who is one considered one of Europes most respected authors, and found it to be absolutely the most over the top piece of porno writing I have ever read. Take into consideration that I am a published porn writer myself, the book, while extremely well written, blew me away. Now I find that I am having trouble listing the same book for resale. The only category they will give it for me "erotic fiction" Fine! except is not listed in eBays very active 'Erotica" section. It is hidden away somewhere in their huge fiction listing.
Now I learn that eBay is very touchy about certain material. I can understand that, but some of the books in their listing are blatantly hardcore bdsm, cheap obscene trash. What gives? Am I going to be able to utilize my knowledge of risque material to make a buck here or am I going to have to be devious -- or what? The book by the way is "The She Devils" and it is listed now.

Just goes to show that "erotica" is a very fluid concept subject to change as other people review and revise rules.
Post the book as YOU feel ethical, and only use EBay's rules as a guideline.

they do have an Adult Section listed under Everything I think. You have to sign in with a disclaimer.
