How to report a listing

[clairvauxfarm]

I reported a racist listing and was emailed that it didn't violate policies. Then I called and had a human look at it last week. It still is up. I am usually like "live and let live" but this is a disgusting racist listing, no grey area. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share the listing number but we would happy to if allowed.

I'm not sure why Ebay thinks this is ok. How can I get them to take it down?

You could just take a screenshot of the main photo without showing any of the title or seller info.  I'm curious to see what you're talking about.

I've seen all sorts of listings that advertise 1930s German stamps and posters which glorify the Nazis.   I've seen photos on eBay of lynchings.   And many other objectionable topics.

Yet eBay reports that these are all considered "historical."  

I'm not sure which is worse: human intelligence or the artificial variety.

this is the listing

I have had many historical images, by well recognized artists removed by Ebay because they found them to be racist.

Items which have been offered on Ebay since it began.

I would love to be able to relist if Ebay has changed their policy, but alas, I doubt they have, It is more likely that you failed to adequately engage whoever or whatever read your message.

I note that there are two listings related to those which Ebay took down when I listed them. Looks like the prices are now off, maybe the sellers are hoping to sell them before Ebay finds them,

I just reported it and directed eBay to look at the subject line.  

Please go here and to the same:  https://www.ebay.com/help/action?topicid=4022

I also recommend you go to Facebook and contact eBay there as well and include a screen shot with the offending text highlighted.

I reported it for price gouging since it is a sanitation item.

Seems more like the internet trolling of a 12 year old than anything else though.

I hate even sharing it on here

Stamps and coins with Nazi symbols are allowed.  But posters, no.   Here's the distinction: posters are propaganda; their purpose is literally glorification and nothing but.  Coins and stamps are government-issued realities that all citizens have to use in day-to-day life, whether or not they agree with the government's goals and actions.

If you can see the listing I posted, it is in the subject part

What the .... ???  I don't know why on Earth someone thinks they'll sell a mostly-used roll of toilet paper for 13 hundred bucks, but that is its' own mystery I guess. -Whey do you think it is RACIST????

Is this a joke?  Do you think you're being funny?

[caldreamer]

OMG...that is outrageous!!!

I think because of the N word.
