Can you get done for selling to under 18's on the net?
 

Say for example you sell a few unwanted dvd's rated 18 on ebay,how do you know how old the buyer is.
You could end up selling some pretty gory stuff to 12 year olds.

This also applies to forum classified sections?

Cuold you get done for it?

DId you know and was it intentional?

I dont know that i have,but would that be an excuse.
Do you have to be over 18 to have a paypal account?

I think providing you take reasonable precautions, big warning on the ad, ask them to confirm in writing by e-mail that they are over 18 or ask for credit card payment, then you should be OK.

Why? You selling off your p0rn? :P

Just kidding

You must be an adult to have an ebay account. It states it when you sign up..

Hence no problem selling on Ebay. :D

Be very very very careful with this. This area is such a landmine and if you are dealing in porn and not absolutly sticking to the law, the filth will bust down your door without a second thought. There was a case in the US not long ago, whereby a guy got done for sending porn through the federal mail system. Ok it has hardcore beast porn (thats not what he got done for) but just for sending it via the public postal system. Ok laws are different but be very careful

why was it illegal to send it thru the mail system ??

It's illegal to send many things by post.

LOL! Why does everyone assume that any 18-rated DVD is porn?

I understand sending a bag of coke by post might have implications, but if you can buy porn for instance why can't you send it ??

In the states its illegal to send anything that may be judged morally corrupting/obscene and the like through standard us mail. I think he got 2 years and his wife got 9 months. If he had sent it ups he would have been ok :rolleyes: as they are a private company. Bet that choked him a bit ! It was discussed at leanth on forums such as ynot.com (VERY WORK UNFRIENDLY, adult biz bbs)

Exactly,i just dont like the idea of selling horror films to 12 year olds.

He didn't use a discreet brown envelope???? :)

You could ask them to E-mail a picure of some I.D, which must display the same name and address as the delivery address. Not full-proof, but it shows that you're taking the issue seriously and being responsible!
