What's allowed under ebid rules?

Stopping people from personally profiting off something that could be viewed/used as Neo-Nazi propaganda and get used to attack this site, is hardly Holocaust denial.

eta: funny the 'PC Brigade' gets mentioned - isn't that phrase often used by people complaining about not' being allowed' to be openly bigoted.

eta: it might be better if Ebid allowed some pre-vetted & carefully controlled items of thistype to be sold only in/to country's where they're legal, but if they want to play it safe, that's their decision.

Well it is the PC Brigade who attack everything English and Christian in England, can't have proper traditional Easter or Christmas cards in case it offends someone was one thing they tried to erode! Trying to deny people displaying nativity scenes etc. Then they brand English as racists and whatnot for wanting to fly the St. George's cross in case it offends someone when all we want to do is celebrate everything English like how the Irish get to celebrate their Saint in England without any PC Do-No-Gooders sticking their nose in. Can't use the term "blacklisted" blah, blah, blah. If anyone is bigoted it's the political correct numpties themselves as when they attack English and Christian traditions, customs and festivals the way that they have done over the past few years and continue to do so year on year, they show themselves for the fascists and racists they truly are. And these politically correct imbeciles have a habbit of unnecessarily creating problems where no problem existed in the first place. Oh, let's stop this that and the other in case it offends this that and the other person but screw offending the English and the Christians while we attack and erode their right to their traditions, festivals and customs, while we try to change their traditions, festivals and customs to suit others (like winter festival nonsense), just as long as we do not offend someone else! They'll be trying to remove English as the name of our language next in case they think the word "English" offends someone! Pc Brigade are the cause of many problems in Britain, creating problems where none existed to begin with. They preach about equality and being multicultural then divide us all by everything that makes us different, how ironic!

A very interesting thread. The world of today has become so twisted in its thinking, that it isn't safe anymore to practice the rights given to us by our own U.S. Constitution (for those of us that live there). Freedom of speech is not needed to speak that which is not controversial, it is for those who wish to speak- Period. I realize that ebid has to watch its back in what it does in order to stay in business, but it is sad to see things like this happen today. As a child I remember being able to buy nazi soldiers and other things, which certainly didn't change the way I thought about them. While playing we pitted nazi soldiers vs American solders all the time. Do you really think that in the end, the nazi's would win in our little scenario?

But don't believe that what happened in Germany couldn't happen in our future. There are holocaust deniers out there in large numbers! There are those that think that euthanasia is a good thing. First you use it on terminal cases, then you progress to those that can't take care of themselves and the elderly... it doesn't stop! Even Mr. Microsoft himself is going down that dangerous road to determine how many people there should be in the world. In order to do that then you have to determine how many people should not live... Ugly

In the greater perspective, it really makes no difference if a toy soldier has a nazi emblem or uniform or not. Unless one understands what those nazi ideals were, it is just another toy. It is up to us to teach our children these things (because they certainly don't learn it in school anymore). Some college students here in the US did not even know who Hitler was!
