(OP) User ID: 57553864 United States 03/04/2021 02:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The controversy surrounding the books began last week when a far-left group called Learning for Justice claimed that the books, which were written by progressive liberal author Theodor Seuss Geisel, contained “orientalism, anti-blackness, and white supremacy,” according to a study. PLATA BITCHEZZZZZZ UPGRADE UNAVAILABLE The Rolling Stones said it best... "What's confusing you is the nature of my game" |

Adam Townsend posted a screenshot from an eBay listing showing that sales of the books have been suspended because they violate the company’s “Offensive Materials” policy. “Listings that promote or glorify hatred, violence, or discrimination aren’t allowed,” the message said, adding, “As a courtesy, we have ended your item and refunded your selling fees, and as long as you do not relist the item, there will be no negative impact to your account.” https://twitter.com/_/status/1367481360991064067 I thought all right wingers liked hitler and sticking it to black people and disparaging asians? |

One that touts is commitment to the first amendment and allows sale of ALL items unless they are deemed to be illegal. Fuck this Maoist Cultural Revolution. Fuck it in the wallet where it hurts. Hundreds of millions of Americans would flock to such a site if only to say fuck you to e-bay and their cowardly pandering to the Marxist left. I will never use e-bay to purchase anything ever again. Though I have a bunch of shit for sale on there that I need to sell. Guide me to a marketplace not run by traitorous shitbags and I will take it all down form e-bay and put it up for sale there. I'll even pay higher fees. |

[link to www.barrons.com (secure)] US e-commerce giant eBay will halt the resale of six Dr Seuss books on its platform after they were pulled by their publisher over imagery considered racist, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Dr. Seuss Enterprises -- the publisher of the bestselling children's books -- announced Tuesday it was taking the titles, which include "If I Ran the Zoo" and "The Cat's Quizzer," out of print. The announcement sparked a bidding frenzy for the scrapped books on eBay. The leading bid for a first edition of "On Beyond Zebra!" soared from $14.99 on Monday to $810 on Tuesday. "EBay is currently sweeping our marketplace to remove these items," a spokeswoman for the company told the Journal. |

E-bay will try to squeeze as many dollars as they can out of sales of the ones that are up - but you can't list one for sale right now. |

Seig Vile User ID: 14839880 United States 03/05/2021 08:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hitler should have been honest in Mein Kampf about how he was given $25 million at a secret visit to England, in the back of a pub, before returning to Germany with his pitched rhetoric demanded by the Bush/Harriman/Thyiessen cabal before they forked over about $2 trillion in today's money to build those autobahns and fire up Germany's munitions and other armaments factories. Oh yeah, and to pay for all those nice new Hitler Youth uniforms handed out free to those who couldn't pay up. And lastly, for those many youth camps designed to physically prepare the kiddos for war. More than as few of these fell victim to a certain predatory moral disorder that seems to have plagued Hitler's apparatchiks. Although to his credit, he had many of them murdered later. |

I’m not even sure of the dollar amount required by law, so legal accounting and tax advisors. But if you can finance the costs, I am available |
