You could not make this up - no you really couldn't!
eBay has banned the sale of used cloth nappies - their reason?!* Apparently there a lot of fetishists who want to use them or more 'grown up' reasons. So if your are an eco friendly parent who cant afford new cloth nappies then you need to look elsewhere.
eBay has seriously informed sellers that nappies count as undergarments and therefore as adult material along with used bras and unwashed thongs.
You cant help reluctantly applauding them for putting consumers in front of profits but for once they are being a tad heavy handed!
