eBay is terrified of handling any items that the California moonbats consider "offensive." Sex toys and porn are often OK. Gun-related items, re-load equipment, even a collectable WWII German artifact was denied because it had an obscure Nazi marking that was just barely visible in the photos. I received a notice from eBay warning me about posting items depicting "hate speech."
