Ebay bans sex

“genitalia… sexual content, profanity or other adult material”

That’s… pretty broad. That goes way beyond “porn” and bans, what, nude art photography and even paintings, music or movies with rude words, maybe even novels or (non-adult) films with sex scenes? Or at least, someone could get banned for those things and the new rules could be pointed at to justify it, anyways.

It’s sounding like they wrote an overly-broad prohibition with the intent that they’d apply it arbitrarily, which… never turns out well.

I can’t tell if that was intentional on their part or accidental (but they don’t mind having made that accident).
