Bravo to Jeff Besos for removing all nazi, neo-nazi and white supremisist products from Amazon. I think Ebay should certainly step up and do the same. Comments?

Go do some searchs , you will see that Ebay has been ahead of Amazon for last several years of removing that stuff.

Great...I've never looked up this type of hate product, but good to know Ebay has taken much down. I did click on nazi, and saw many coin sales, jewelry.

, Etc.

There are a lot of us that are collector s of Nazi Germany items from 1932 to 1945 for history of period aren't racist . The skin heads and white power groups are made of majority of High School drop outs and low educated whites .they don't have clue about national socialist works party. Also they have no idea that the treaty of verse in France signed by Germany that gave the rise to the Nazi party .

I have some propaganda flyers that my great uncle collected from WWII. They were dropped by plane by the Japanese military (have horrible pix of tortured prisoners with Nazi signs and swastikas). It's pretty obvious what they are implying, but they really have nothing to do with actual Nazi people in Germany. I'd love to get rid of them but can't. They are a part of history, I'm not into this sort of thing at all (he left me all sorts of strange stuff including a set of dentures when he died), but I can't sell them because of the swastikas. Does anyone know of a WWII museum that might be interested?

You could try the Smithsonian... or in the UK, there's the Imperial War Museum...

Also the History departments of any number of colleges or universities might want them. Shouldn't be too hard to find interested recipients for donation.

I have had a recording of WWII speeches which included one of Hitler as well as belt buckles with the confederate flag on them - both removed by ebay.

ok i get the PC.....ad yes there is stuff that might be hate related..etc..

BUT lets not get tottally out of control.... you mention COINS... yes in germany in the WW years they have symbols on them...well that is a coin ..historical piece ...AND with your logic...then any coins or paper money with ANY historical "badness"...would be taken down.... USSR? IRAQ? JAPAN? etc etc etc...the ROMANS? ARE you really going to say one was more wrong than other?

SO yes there is items that might be seen as wrong, but who and just what will be the criteria....

the World Wars, as well as many other wars/conflicts are historical events....the civil war is OUR most historical event...think the Native American people think that?.... Selling historical item...maybe right or wrong is still done..by not --does anyone think it will change anything.... THOSE who wear the patches the symbols of groups and attitudes have a right...That is what we are about...NOT ABOUT VIOLANCE...and that is a tottaly different thing.

When a company "takes down" a whole list of categories and items based on a wide ranging PC movement ..is not any more right ...they just are covering there butt and part of the PC for the times....what will be the next thing....so just saying,...Amazon's JEFF..is only doing a PC business move...and if he was so forward and thoughtful thinker..he would have done it years ago.....

AND don't get me wrong , I do think these business, ebay too, SHOULD and a criteria....and enforce it 100% ...Ebay has one, and does remove most..if not all...but i'm sure there is some stuff still slipping through...

I have some 19th century Navajo jewelry that has "swastikas" on them. They were considered good luck and symbolized balance The symbol was widespread throughout the ancient world, There were variations of the "Wheel of Life" symbol.

As far as the Nazi relics, some people collect historical artifacts, that doesn't make them racist.

I would agree though, that items that promote neo-Nazis and their hate should be banned from ebay.

I would never sell the Navajo jewelry on ebay because someone would inevitably complain.
