Keep it to yourself.
Some people will tell you that no one wants to see pictures of your kids, but they’ve apparently never been on the Japanese marketplace app Mercari. According to SoraNews24, there was a surprisingly robust market for ultrasound photos on the e-commerce platform, which resulted in Mercari ultimately banning the sale of said images.
Ultrasound images have landed on the list of “inappropriate items” that Mercari maintains, which are restricted from being sold on the platform. The ban will go into effect on September 1, according to the company, so you do still have a few days to put in bids on your favorites and complete your collection or whatever it is that you do with someone else’s ultrasound.
Mercari didn’t specify why it decided to place ultrasound pictures under this restriction, though maybe someone in the offices was just kinda weirded out by it.
