To want to sell my shoes without fetishists contacting me for pics of me wearing them... (Pic in OP)

So I have a major obsession with shoes. Mainly killer heels, I have amassed about 200 pairs over the past couple of decades.

Occasionally I have a sort out and put them online for sale. Back in the early days of doing this, I would get messages asking for a pic to see how they looked on, to which I dimly obliged, then more messages would come with other (stranger) requests and it dawned on me that I was inadvertently providing free wankbank material for foot and shoe fetishists across the land. Shock

Now don't get me wrong, if that's what floats your boat, I've absolutely no issue. But lulling a young girl (I was at the time) under false pretences is totally creepy. Plus, I'm sure a psychiatrist somewhere would say I've a heel fetish myself anyway! Grin

Anyway, after cottoning onto this tactic, I just ignored the messages. But a while back, I got ANOTHER request and chose to respond this time.

My DP didn't want to model my shoes, but my male dog has absolutely fabulous legs and was happy to model them.

On a couple of these eBay listings, it says 'any requests will be acknowledged'. I hardly dare ask, but what does that mean?!!

I sell used clothing and footwear all the time and have never come across this (almost disappointed)

"any requests" can include, I believe, weeing in knickers, period stains etc. Bleurgh! (Not period stains, we all get them, but that there are people getting off on them).

Is it a weird coincidence that since this thread, I've seen trashed, muddy boots and high heeled shoes modelled by men on eBay? 😆
