Blurred out Nazi symbol ok?

Question

Is it permitted to list a German WW2 militaria item if the Nazi symbol is blurred out (or a small sticker is placed over the Swastika)? I have an original veteran bring back belt buckle that I’d like to get rid of if I can be in compliance.

It's prohibited, even if you hide the swastika.

(there are a few exceptions - stamps and coins)

-- Here is the policy that applies https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/offensive-material-policy?id=4324

Listings or content that promote, perpetuate or glorify hatred, violence, or discrimination, including on the grounds of race, ethnicity, color, religion, disability, national origin, sex, gender and gender identity or sexual orientation, aren't allowed. This includes but is not limited to the following:

Historical Holocaust-related and Nazi-related items, including reproductions
Any item that is anti-Semitic or any item from after 1933 that bears a swastika
Media identified as Nazi propaganda

I know this isn't the answer you want to hear. You can find other marketplaces where you can sell these items.
