   I must've missed something... someone posted something about you guys?   
   I think a decade ago is long enough for Ebay to let whatever happened   
   go.  That wasn't THAT huge of an infraction (though you probably   
   should have thunk kids surf... but today?  They see more surfing for   
   Paris Hilton sex tapes or playing video games like Grand Theft Auto).   
   By the way, I saw one nude photo on Ebay just the other day not on the   
   mature section so obviously their software is not that great.  I never   
   understood where the line is drawn on nudity either.  Why is it   
   someone can paint a nude and it's ok (even if realism) but it's not   
   for a tasteful photo?  Now I can see some are HUGE boobs or something   
   in very provocative poses can be said to solicit sex and made to   
   titillate, but where's the line?   
      
   Anyway, your problem is no biggie so why even defend it.  Ignore the   
   trolls.
