Nazi/Swastika items

[anthonyb5700]

I see many Nazi/Swastika items up for bids in the German WW2 Medal listings.

These are prohibited items under ebay policy.

I have reported several and none seem to have been taken off the listing pages.

Is there a way to contact ebay directly  ( telephone or email ) ? or another way to remedy the situation?

You've done the only thing you as a member can do by reporting them.

There are so many itmes reported, many fall through the cracks & many take longer to get removed.

Coins and stamps are about the only Nazi items allowed. Most everything else falls under Nazi propaganda which is not allowed.

I was once told by Alan I believe that they are so backed up with reports it can take a while or never for them to be removed.

Yes, I understand. I wonder though how this scenario might play out ... I am the winning bidder and refuse to pay for the item.. that goes to resolution ..surely that would bring the item to attention.. just a thought.  thanks, ab

The items I have been seeing are war medals, Iron Crosses etc. as well as stick pins and cotton uniform pieces all with the swastikas..

Thanks for the dog quote.. thats a good one.

That's disheartining .

[pingpong517]

why would you be bidding and winning...just to report them?

there are sooooo many things on ebay that shouldn't and have been reported.... somethings just got to be sorted out and even computers can get "backed up".....

in a perfect world.....

If reporting the items in the usual fashion gets no resolution, bidding and winning might.

These swastika items are prohibited by policy

I still remember the weekly chat where it was supposedly being set up so that it would be easy to report violating listings.

Whatever happened with that.

It could also get you a skinhead bandana you don't want.

Not recalling that but thinking that would be a good thing

This is a horrible idea and is against Ebay policy. It may get you thrown off ebay. It's Transaction Interference.

Don't even think about it.

[anthonyb5700]

Transactional interference on prohibited itmes ?  its a catch 22

Just report once and then move on and forget it.

There are thousands, perhaps millions of listings on ebay that are not allowed.

I don't bother reporting anything, it's ebay's site, not mine. I wouldn't even do it if ebay paid me. Would be a boring job.
