"offensive material"

eBay in their infinite wisdom has removed one of my items, and frankly I'm offended that they did so!

 

I had a listing of 3 mid-century dolls (204162356899 - Three Vintage Black Cloth African American Doll Handmade) that were probably among the first dolls that children of color could play with that were theirs, not white dolls that didn't look like them.

 

I'm very upset that they were removed, and don't see any logic in eBay's decision----of course, I'm responding in this format because there is no way to reply to or appeal eBay's "final decision"!!

Yeah, good advice about relisting.  These dolls were certainly not offensive, and very generic and I truly don't see how anyone could be offended.    I think eBay as they often do made a knee-jerk judgement.

I think you're reading way too much into this.

Exactly I remember when the first widely produced black dolls hit the market.  Maybe because of the backing of toy manufacturers this was praised as a step forward.   I guess I should have had a publicist write the item description for me.
