The "Adult Items" policy is intended to prohibit people from selling products that contain sexually explicit content in some shape or form. "We'll review the content of the listing, images, and the category of the items to determine if an item is allowed," said the company. "We want to make adult items available to those who wish to purchase them and can do so legally, while preventing those who do not wish to view or purchase these items from easily accessing them."

This is sounding very similar to the moment when Discord announced that it had banned all Apple users from NSFW servers regardless of whether they were above the age of 18. Apple will not host any "inappropriate content" in the apps that are on its App Store, and in order to safeguard its status, Discord put in place a blanket ban. Expectedly, this irritated a lot of users and it didn't account for context, like nudity in artwork, for example.

By the way, eBay requires its users to be above the age of 18 if they want to purchase products on its platform anyway. Furthermore, games that are rated "18" or "M" and depict sexual content include Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin's Creed Origins, South Park: The Stick Of Truth, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, to name a few. Whether or not these would be subjected to the same restrictions as the rules for adult-only games is not clear. However, as GamesIndustry.biz points out, it's going to be smaller-scale projects that happen to contain sexual content that will suffer the most under this new policy on eBay. We'll keep you in the loop when we know more.
