-- 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

Mein Kampf is not allowed, however critical/annotated versions (which are versions with similar titles that fact check Adolf Hitlerâ€™s original writing and place them in the proper historical context) ARE allowed.

Even though you may see other listings, it doesn't mean the item is allowed.

âœ“ The other listings you see are like the cars speeding by on the highway. Many will get "pulled over by eBay"... their listing will get pulled down before or after the sale, and they get a serious warning on their account. Or, their account will be closed.

I know it is hard to understand when you see the listings but trust me, sellers who violate policies do get caught.

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