What do we do about Alligator Alcatraz merch being allowed on eBay
I've been a seller on eBay for years but this merchandising for the concentration camps being built in my/ our country is beyond disgusting and I'm seriously considering deleting my account - though as with most sellers, I do depend on the income to a great degree. Where do we draw the line. ?

Don't burn any bridges. If an Alligator Alcatraz tee shirt is so offensive to you that you can't stomach selling on the same site, then that likewise disqualifies Amazon, Etsy, and most, if not all, the other online venues.

I don’t think any of the items are specific enough to warrant removal. But, you never know until you try.

There really isn’t anything we can do - like all novelties, these items may be in poor taste, but they are not breaking any laws. Much like adult images, if you don’t like them, don’t look at them.
If your conscience dictates a boycott of eBay because of it, at least post about it on eBay’s social media so they understand your reason.
