英国文化大臣 Lisa Nandy 称正认真考虑禁止16岁以下青少年使用 Vinted 与 eBay 等二手平台
伦敦 — 英国文化大臣 Lisa Nandy 11月8日在英国广播公司（BBC）《与 Laura Kuenssberg 的周日》节目中表示，政府正认真考虑把二手交易平台 Vinted 与 eBay 纳入16岁以下青少年禁用名单，以保护儿童安全。她说：「我们正认真考虑这样做，为的是让孩子们安全。」
此前《星期日泰晤士报》报道称，英国针对16岁以下青少年的社交媒体禁令正扩大到二手交易平台，原因是这些平台的站内私信功能可能让陌生人接触儿童、甚至诱骗儿童；同类平台 Depop 与 Facebook Marketplace 也可能被纳入。英国的16岁以下社交媒体禁令已于今年6月宣布，覆盖 Instagram、TikTok、Snapchat 等大型平台，预计2027年春季生效，受禁平台的完整名单将在圣诞节前公布。
Vinted 与 eBay 目前都规定用户须年满18岁：eBay 以其交易的合同性质为由要求会员成年；Vinted 面向18岁以上用户，但条款允许家长或监护人替未成年人开设并监督账户。Vinted 去年在英国约有1,700万用户。eBay 回应 BBC 说，拟议立法的细节尚不明确，期待进一步了解并继续与政府建设性合作。儿童慈善机构此前警告，一些急需用钱的儿童会在 Vinted 与 Facebook Marketplace 等平台上成为被盯上的目标。

UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy Says Government Is Seriously Considering Barring Under-16s from Vinted and eBay
LONDON — The UK culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, said on November 8 that the government is seriously considering adding the second-hand marketplaces Vinted and eBay to the list of platforms barred to children under 16, in order to keep children safe. Asked on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme whether the ban would be extended to the two sites, she said: "We are looking seriously at doing so in order to keep children safe."
The Sunday Times had reported that the under-16 social media ban is being widened to second-hand marketplaces because their messaging functions could allow strangers to contact and groom children, with Depop and Facebook Marketplace also expected to be included. Announced in June, the under-16 social media ban covers major platforms including Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat, is due to take effect in spring 2027, and the full list of in-scope platforms is to be published before Christmas.
Both marketplaces already set a minimum age of 18: eBay requires members to be adults, citing the contractual nature of its listings, while Vinted is aimed at over-18s but allows a parent or guardian to open a supervised account for a minor. Vinted had about 17 million UK customers last year. eBay told the BBC the details of the proposed legislation were not yet clear and that it looked forward to understanding more and continuing to work constructively with the government. Children's charities have warned that children in need of money are targeted on sites such as Vinted and Facebook Marketplace.
