Not sure if this has been posted already... but...

basically eBay are banning the selling of second-hand cloth nappies as they are classing them 'used underwear' and are banning them under their 'Adult/Mature content policy'.

It's common for people using real nappies to pass them on to other folk - or to resell them to recoup some of their start up costs. A lot of mum's appreciate being able to source second hand nappies to start up with. Ok some people might not want to buy 'second-hand' nappies - but the idea with them is that they can be sterilised correctly - both before and after purchase and reused. It's not any different from anyone who uses a 'nappy washing scheme' - the same nappies are used - then sanitised before distributing again.

I think eBay's policy on this is ridiculous as I believe people should have the option to purchase these items second hand on there - for their convenience and for the environments sake. Nappies shouldn't be classed under their 'used underwear' category just 'in-case' someone unsavoury purchases them as used underwear.

If anyone also thinks this is a tad ridiculous - some folks have started a petition to eBay asking them to rethink their policy...

I've signed it - and if you can think of anyone else who might like to sign it please pass it on.

wow, I agree. I wonder if they are doing the same thing with breast pads/breast pumps?

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got quite a few from there. They are sterilized and it's better for the environment particularly now everyone goes on about 'being green'. It's also a good way of finding out which type of nappies you like without much expense.

Bloody crazy, I'm speechless which doesn't happen often!!!!!

I'll be passing this link onto LOTS of people, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

That is stupid, the whole point of using cloth is that they can be used time and time again.
