He wanted her to dress conservatively, she found out he was cheating - and now Taylor Morgan is taking it all off on eBay in a fire sale of his stuff.

In the latest in a string of jilted lovers taking revenge on their ex using the web, Morgan, 26, of Florida, is selling her ex-boyfriend's clothes and trinkets on eBay using headless, semi-naked images of her modelling the goods.

She assures this website that it's not a marketing stunt.

''Unfortunately just before Christmas time ... my friend and neighbour both confirmed to me that my boyfriend cheated on me,'' she said in a phone interview.

''First one of my friends had seen him out at a club, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt until my neighbour actually saw someone leaving the house while I was out on a trip.

''So I booted him and essentially everything that I bought for him over the five years when we were together I still had in the house.''

Morgan, who is using a fake name to conceal her identity, said she and a friend came up with the risque eBay fire sale idea over a couple of glasses of wine after she kicked her ex out of the house.

''I guess the whole aspect of him not really allowing me to be very sexy and wear certain clothes - he preferred that I didn't - it was seemingly a great way to get back at him,'' she said.

Ms Morgan has already sold about 13 items ranging from a Marc Ecko t-shirt to leather sandals, netting several hundred dollars so far and a great deal of publicity.

In her auction listings Morgan models the clothes wearing as little as possible. In one auction of a Kenneth Cole leather belt, which she sold for $15.50, Morgan is wearing nothing but the belt, which is fastened around her chest.

''It's not his property, it's my property, I bought it and it was in my house,'' she said.

Morgan says her ex-boyfriend has since petitioned eBay to take the auction listings down, arguing she is using ''sexually suggestive'' marketing. She is now re-posting some of the listings in the ''art'' category, using a loophole to sell her photos as digital prints and then including the clothing item as a ''gift''

If you buy something, give it to someone as a present, boot them out of the house and they leave the present behind, is it really yours to sell in the first place?
