eBay 1, Danielle 0.

For the first time in eight years, while trying to list this lot of Nakayoshi goods, I was informed on the submission page that my item was being blocked, due to “mature content”. “…Wha..?” said I. Johan and I have decided that the filter must not have liked the (perfectly benign) manga series titles Cherry Juice and Wild Wild — items in question include a pink wallet, a plastic ring, a piece of cardboard (to be made into a small jewelry box) and a clear file with glitter on it. T_T# Needless to say I have written them a very annoyed, sarcastic email to let me list my quite-unexplicit lot of furoku. [siiiiiiighhhhhhh] Edit: I figure, why not share such splendid sarcasm with my friends?

Hello.

I frequently sell anime/manga items (all of them rated G) on eBay, but was most disturbed to find that a lot of goods I was trying to list tonight has been blocked by your Mature Audiences filter. Since this consists mainly of pink plastic accessories intended for elementary-school-age Japanese girls, I am quite puzzled as to why this happened.

I have uploaded the auction description contents here: http://www.hoshichan.com/ebay/nakalot.php

My husband suspects the filter may have been set off by the series titles “Cherry Juice” (like… the drink?) and “Wild Wild”. These are not adult titles, by any stretch, and the items in question are a small folder (with no obsenities of any kind), a pink wallet, a plastic ring and a piece of cardboard. (My apologies for the sarcasm, but I have sold items much like this — granted, not from either of these series, as they are new to Nakayoshi Magazine as of 2005 — for years now, and to call them mature content, is, well, laughable at best.)

Please let me know what I can do to avoid this problem and expedite my listing this lot of quite unoffensive, unexplicit items.

Thank you,
Danielle

As an afterthought, on a happy note, I sold my collection of Gundam Wing shitajiki, so I was able to purchase my Card Captor Sakura stationary set + shitajiki and several Dragonquest slime gashapon figures, and have enough left over to take care of any Y!J things still pending. XD
