eBay Removes Holocaust Items

EBay decided to stop selling/allowing people to sell items relating to the Holocaust. This upset many people and made some people happy. eBay said that it is wrong for things of that nature to be listed on their website and sent donation money to charities to show their serious consent. I think that it's okay to sell items like this because some people are what I call "History Junkies" and like to buy sell and trade items like this. If people are offended by it then they shouldn't be looking for those items. What do you think? Should eBay allow people to sell items like this if they are related to historical events? Here is the Link to the story.

  • I think if someone wants to sell it and someone wants to buy it then go for it. if people don't like it they don't have to be on the site.

  • Ya I think they should be able to but then I don't think so because people died from some things and that would really hurt some people. 

  • I think for some people it is their family history or something they are intrigued by and maybe Ebay is the only place they can find it. There should be a different solution for the people who are offended.

  • I think that they should allow it for the fact that it could be used to get things for museums, with that said i think that anything that is not offensive towards the Holocaust should be able to be sold.

  • I think they should let them sell that stuff too. As long as it isn't disrespectful or inappropriate I think its fine to sell it. It's part of our worlds history and many people I think people would want to buy such things.

  • Good story choice and great job replying!

  • I think that they should continue to sell things like that. This is a major part of history that they are just denying its place in the world.

  • I agree with you completely. People are becoming so touchy about everything that goes on today.

  • I think that people should be able to sell these things because a lot of people are in love with these things and Ebay would be one of the best ways to collect some of these things. I can see how some people might not want these online but it truly can't be hurting people that much. 

    • I think it is good how you can see both sides. Some people will like it and want these items, and others are offended by it, and they don't think it is right to sell them online.
