Another Ebay Rant!!!

[Ron Smith]

I posted a Luftwaffe belt buckle on ebay yesterday. I blotted out the swastika in all views. This morning I received this message.

"You recently listed the following listing:
220487703873 - WWII German Luftwaffe buckle with 1941 Tab
Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because the following information violates our policy:
Nazi items and items containing the Nazi Swastika and SS markings are not permitted on eBay. Please do not relist this item."

I went to ebay and typed in "WWII German". Out of 160 odd pages. These were in the first 5 pages of listings. I have 20 items in total, in the first 5 pages, 25% !!!. I'm going to pursue this until either they ban me completely, or....?

They have volunteers who scan the listings, called VeRO's. I guess they can just pick and choose. I have 2 messages off to ebay listing the photos and demanding an answer. I'm going to burn up their friggin' computers with complaints. The real pisser is that a majority of the coins have "NAZI" and "SWASTKA" listed in the titles in huge bold font!!!

I typed in "NAZI" in the ebay search. Over 3,000 items, nearly all display a Swastika. I typed in "Swastika" and another 900+ items are listed.

We need to bombard them with complaints.



Pissed off in Oregon....
