    You’re comparing apples to oranges. Selling Nazi memorabilia raises zero potential for liability. There is no statutory law and no common law in the United States that a sale of such memorabilia could violate. So, there’s no threat of any suit or liability and no lawyer is making this happen. This is 100% about feelings, like half the crap going on today. Maybe they worry that they’ll lose sales because snowflakes would be unhappy if they allowed Nazi memorabilia?

    A fair argument. Every time I see this happen it takes me back to the very earliest days of Ebay when firearms were listed and sold. Then some illegal transactions happen and Ebay's legal staff step in and firearms are banned on the site. I'm sure they were worried about being sued if a firearm was sold through Ebay to a restricted person and a death/injury occurred. Thus GB and Auction Arms (now gunauction.com) were born and thrived. And I don't see much difference between GB and AuctionZip or Invaluable. Oh well, as with GB someone's willingness to give up a part of their market share will be gobbled up by someone else. Gotta love capitalism!

    I am very fair.
