Some, including mine, offer a large number of permutations and it just never occurred to me that I was about to fall foul of Ebay policies to the extent of having all my listings dumped.

The listing was for Nude, Topless Sandals or Sticky Sandals as I call them because they stick to your feet. They are like flip flops but with no straps. I have six designs in four sizes. The listing asked buyers to provide details of the design and size they wanted when ordering, either by a note in their Paypal payment or by seperate email, for which a link was provided.
