Here cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180803935705&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123
Its the "very sexy" bit.They are for a FOUR year old. Who in their right minds describes underwear/sleepwear for a toddler as "Very Sexy"?

There's plenty of 'code' there that tells you exactly what that listing is all about and who it's aimed at. Report to ebay - I should think they'll take it down.

VickityBoo · 26/01/2012 22:13

What do you mean about there being code?

battherat · 26/01/2012 22:14

Yanbu. Report for reasons previous poster said.

psketti · 26/01/2012 22:14

Very well worn too! I think it needs reporting too.

Harecare · 26/01/2012 22:15

"very well worn" yet in a vg condition???? Just not quite right is it?

ScaredyDog · 26/01/2012 22:15

:( Pics of the kid in at least one listing.

Something's not right, especially the little red dress that would make a "great Valentines present". WTF?

Justabouthadenough · 26/01/2012 22:15

Very very wrong. I'd report.

SiamoNellaMerda · 26/01/2012 22:15

Very sexy and cute - inappropriate for listing aimed at buyers of children't clothing
It is very well worn - if you've never heard this term before on Ebay listings go look for 'well worn' shoes etc. It's a, ummmm, niche and specialist market. Disgusting but not illegal.

HandMini · 26/01/2012 22:16

What do you mean by "code"?

It's a hideous item for anyone, but for a 4 year old? Jesus, people are weird.

smithereenies · 26/01/2012 22:16

'very well worn' 'sexy' kids underwear?

ouryve · 26/01/2012 22:17

I don't use my ebay account. Tempted to message the seller and ask why a 4 year old needs sexy jammies Hmm

VickityBoo · 26/01/2012 22:17

Oh right - glad I asked because I haven't heard of the well worn thing and will google. I like eBay but am shocked that there's underlying messages like that.

HandMini · 26/01/2012 22:18

Ok, I see. I didn't know that very well worn meant anything weird.

Is this really made by Jigsaw or is that some code as well? I thought they were a decent company.

minceorotherwise · 26/01/2012 22:18

Defo abit suspect.

psketti · 26/01/2012 22:20

But there's no way of reporting is there? All the channels that seem to say "report here" don't work. Sinister in the extreme.

ScaredyDog · 26/01/2012 22:20

Bit stupid too, his postcode is in one of the listings.

SiamoNellaMerda · 26/01/2012 22:21

Nah - the 'Jigaw' (as far as I know) has nothing to do with it. It's the 'well worn' that's the biggest giveaway.

Completely revolting and definitely worth reporting to ebay.

startwig1982 · 26/01/2012 22:21

I don't understand 'well worn'. What is that code for? Confused

BandOMothers · 26/01/2012 22:22

Oh God! Report it everyone! Sicko!

BandOMothers · 26/01/2012 22:25

Where is the report bit??? I am tempted to directly as the vendor wtf she's ding describing this as sexy!! Should I?

Justabouthadenough · 26/01/2012 22:26

He.

BandOMothers · 26/01/2012 22:27

start there is a big market on Ebay for perverts who wish to buy used shoes and kinckers...sometimes jeans and other garments usually they are unwashed.

SiamoNellaMerda · 26/01/2012 22:27

Go to 'report item'

Select from drop down menu (2nd box down) 'prohibited banned items'
Next box select 'offensive, adult, hate or other potentially offensive items'

You should then get a box where you can add your own comments - use this to do exactly that!

HandMini · 26/01/2012 22:27

I've just taken a look on the Junior Jigsaw website and while there is nothing as awful as those "pyjamas", there is still quite a bit of fairly adult style clothing for 4/5 year olds, like mini skirts, city shirkers and party dresses. Definitely a brand to keep an eye on, in a NOT good way.

HandMini · 26/01/2012 22:28

Shirkers??? Sorry, meant city shorts.
