Ebay is a typical politically correct company run by idiots. If you
wish to argue with the head corporate idiot, robc@ebay.com is Robert
Chestnut the corporate counsel Ebay hired who immediately began
outlawing these items. He also outlawed badges and the emergency lights
volunteer firefighters use on their own cars. He is an ex US attorney
from Virginia and is in my personal opinion subhuman!

Subject: Re: [MV] E-Bay and "Prohibited Items"
They banned firearms, but allow pornography, banned any items with Nazi
emblems from being sold, but allowed items from the WTC and Shuttle
Crash to
sell. So anything manufactured from 1935 to 1944 or so in Germany is
pretty
much outlawed because of the emblems- Swastika, Eagle with swastika,
etc.
But they still do allow Southwestern and Southeastern Native American
items
with the same insignia. If you alter the appearance of a photo, they
will
prohibit the item. No bans on items with Imperial Japanese emblems from
WWII. I guess the Japanese didn't commit enough atrocities in WWII to
earn
a ban from ebay. Italian Fascists- no ban; Russian Communist items- no
ban.
