eBay

I made three listings yesterday for Dr. Seuss books. Two were taken down for offensive material and one for price gouging. Other listings for the same books are still active and at higher prices than mine. What is going on?

Are other sellers reporting listings to get them taken down to keep supply low prices high?

Is this all Dr. Seuss books banned or just the 6 that the Seuss estate says will no longer be published? I tried to list Scrambled Eggs Super! and was only told after I'd spent all that time taking pictures, etc., that I couldn't list it. The very least they could do is put out an announcement somewhere, anywhere. I figured I'd missed the deadline at midnight last night or something, yet someone else listed one today at 1:30 or so, with a weird item # though, 303911020207, does that have any significance? And there are a bunch listed that are in Morocco.

Same for me - I assume the active ones will demise as editors get to them. Is very bad for channels like ebay to do this based on some pc police changes - Dr. Seuss illos are cartoons and not intended or wanted to be taken at face value, they are CARTOONS. ebay (as after market) should make their own decisions with their members as primary focus, not follow blindly the wishes of some publisher who caved on some activist input. I still see little black sambo in the active listings. ebay should be less granular as they are in effect assisting our descent to a "1984" society.

We recently found a copy of Mulberry Street and tried to post it last night. eBay wouldn't allow it. But I note that about 40 copies were listed just today (March 10). We tried "Have one to sell? Sell now", basing on an existing/successful one, different book categories (collectible, youth, etc.) but still cannot get ours posted.

I've tried searching Google/etc. on whether there's uneven enforcement going on, but I only get results that eBay is de-listing these titles, and that it may (ostensibly) take some time. But now, a few days later, there are apparently new listings still going up. Does anyone know why the enforcement of initial posting appears to be uneven? Thanks!
