dont wate your time contacting ebay about a problem

i am a seller of militaria photographs from ww2 , as there is more money in selling pictures from germany i mainly sell pictures from the german soldiers , under there rules and regulations certain images are not alowed and are called HATRED OR DISCRIMATORY , normal pics of aeroplanes tanks soldats etc are alowed but should a pic of an aircraft/tank etc that bears the swastika be listed it is taken off there site and called HATRED and DISCRIMATORY ,


during ww2 and after any german soldier who fell was given a church rememberance at his home church where family and friends were congregated , each person attending recived a small card which normaly had a pic of the soldier where he was born and where he died and what date he died , on the reverse of the card is a page from the bible and in most cases a religious pic depending on the guys religion , in some cases a very tiny swastika apears on the death card just like a union jack would apear on maybe a letter etc, ebay find these cards HATRED and DISCRIMATORY , i am lost for words at there attitude at these cards , how can they be what they say they are .


i recently listed death cards from german soldiers that died during ww2 for there country , no swastikas were on these cards and under there rules that state items alowed on there site ie ww2 memorabillia that does not bear the swastika(which these death cards fall into) but ebay removed them and gave me a 1 day suspension (for the 7th time!!)


i contacted them ,they replied they are not alowed on there site , i replied to there e-mail stating they fall under items alowed because they did not show the swastika , i asked for a link to a complaints department ,


there reply was that one death card was hiding a swastika it was placed on top of and the right decision had been made to remove it !! they then went on to say that they would not reply to any more of my e-mails as far as they were concerned the case was justified and needed no further action ,


i have replied that they are making false acusations and that i want to make a complaint against them , i had 52 items listed all were removed (i had spent hours listing these items) i untill recently had a shop on ebay which had over 200 items inside it , then when you get a one day suspension they remove everything from your shop then after the one day suspension is over your shop is open again but all your item are removed , this rule needs to be sorted out as its not fair (i closed my shop)


all in all my conclusion in dealing with ebay as a seller for many years is that your wasting your time complaining as there a law unto themselves and what they say goes so dont waste your time and effort complaining just get back up and get on with it !!


THREE CHEERS FOR EBAY!!
