Dr. Seuss. Get over it. Get back to posting.

Very proud of the decision eBay made.
That way sellers can not price gouge on books that are mass produced.

Just let it be.
Get back to listing and move on.

And when you hear that cha ching noise, you can come back and thank me for the motivation.

Proud of censorship. As long as the almighty dollar flows, you couldn't care less about free speech or anything like that, right? Nah. Cha ching.

You're mistaken as that is not price gouging. No  one NEEDS a Dr. Seuss book. You should be irate Ebay pulled them as that is what the cancel culture is hoping for. They would like to censor anything and everything they do not agree with.

Re: Dr. Seuss. Get over it. Get back to posting.

I'm not so sure this decision is a good one . Once this type of door is opened  it can lead to even more censorship . I think the whole cancel culture thing has become a mass hysteria . Dr .Suess  children's books have been published for a very long time . But now suddenly  the cancel culture decides they are offensive ? It sounds more like a power grab to me . And that never ends well.

This is nothing to be proud of. 

The ones doing the censoring are never the good guys...

Censorship? This is ebay's website. They have the freedom to make the rules on their own website.  You have the freedom to obey their rules or move on. Just like you have the freedom to make the rules at your house. God bless America!

You're right - Ebay's site, Ebay's rules.

At what point does it become wrong? Was Dr. Seuss okay when Michelle Obama was reading those books to kids, and now it's wrong? 

Ebay didn't just unilaterally decide to ban these books - "cancel culture" did, and they just got in step because it's politically correct. Is Charlie Brown next?

BTW- eBay allows Pro-Nazis books but Dr. Seuss seems more dangerous? I'm ashamed to be doing business on this platform. (1.3 Million Worth) and I'm gone, this was the last straw.

You would be wrong. Nazi items are also not allowed.

So ebay to this day REFUSES to pull down the literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of listings for counterfeit video game cartridges (see all the various bootleg multi-carts, for example), but they pull down listings for otherwise perfectly legal books?

Has nothing to do with certain books being 'dangerous'. But everything to do with racist images that could be hurtful to a child.

I've never heard of anyone complain about a Dr. Seuss book before any of this. Everything could be offensive to anyone so we should just cancel everything.

Try listing a Nazi item and see what happens.
