Nazi boots on eBay?--OT
I'm not into this stuff, but found them looking for old cowboy boots: http://cgi.ebay.com/SS-Nazi-Officers...item2c5adb559a
I thought eBay had a no-Nazi stuff policy. Am I wrong, have they relaxed the policy, or are the censors just asleep? |

I believe the policy emphasis is on items containing the Nazi emblem..
Quote:
..equipment & some items of clothing such as boots etc were often shared inter-services items. The regular German army also had cavalry units and the boots would have been a similar cut if not identical.. |

EBay is also legendary for the arbitrary, incomprehensible, and inconsistent way they enforce that policy.
Ex-girlfriend's brother sold comics for a living. EBay WOULDN'T let him sell Art Spiegelman's "MAUS", hardly a pro-Nazi writing, because showed a Swastika on the cover. No amount of explanation and links to reviews could persuade the EBay niceness cops otherwise. |

Ebay is great for dictating policy
and then hiding behind their firewalls while it is ignored and abused. They are the best example I've seen of how NOT to run a company and are only successful because they got there first with the idea. Pretentious, dictatorial and irrational while refusing to hear the opinions of the unwashed masses who pay them. I hate Ebay and will tell them so at every opportunity. They encourage and reward fraud with their mindless feedback policies.

It seems the swastika is the big no-no.
If it shows up in the image, they pull it. Try selling old 45th Inf Div patches or other native American (especially old Hopi) stuff with a left facing symbol..... |

BTW, my Grandfather, who died long before I was born, was in the 45th 1917-19. Medical.
