Amazon has started selling sex toys on its website as part of a drive to
broaden its product range.
Visitors to the US
Amazon.com site can now choose from 37,000 items in the
Sex
and Sensuality sub-section. The current best selling items are lubricants
and condoms, with no vibrators making it into the top 100 best sellers.
A spokeswoman for
Amazon.co.uk confirmed
the move but said there were no plans to introduce a similar section for UK
customers.
She emphasised that the items were part of the
Health
and Personal Care section and would be treated as such.
The move has prompted a slight change in Amazon's sales terms. Its returns
policy, recognised as very good by the standards of the industry, covers very
few of the products on offer.
In addition the 'share your own customer images' section is no longer in
operation, although the engine which logs similar purchases and the user review
section have been retained.
