EBay's policy states:

Listings that promote, perpetuate or glorify hatred, violence, or discrimination, including on the grounds of race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender or sexual orientation, aren't allowed. This includes but is not limited to the following:

Items with racist, anti-Semitic, or otherwise demeaning portrayals
Listings that imply or promote support of, membership in, or funding of a terrorist organization
EBay seller "rentonstore," based in Renton, Washington, regularly violates these policies - by pretending that their terror supporting and antisemitic materials are simply Shiite Muslim religious items.

The store sells Hezbollah flags and promotional material, even though Hezbollah is a designated terror group in the United States and many other countries. This key-ring is nothing but a promotion for a terror group, and Rentonstore pretends it is a religious item, calling it "Shia Muslim S. Lebanon Military Party of God Islamic Resistance Key-Ring # 31206."



If eBay pretends that only Hezbollah's "military wing" is terrorist, then Rentonstore still has materials that violate the policy, as in this item titled "Shia Muslim S. Lebanon Party of God Islamic Resistance Military Flag #17069:"


The United States designates the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to be a terror organization as well, but Rentonstore sells IRGC memorabilia, like this "Original Shia Islam IRGC Sepah-e Pasdaran Militant Group Military Patch # 620611:"


It does not appear that these items are original - the seller seems to produce them, as there is no way that this English language "Shia Islam IRGC Sepah Pasdaran Aba Abellah Boys Counterterrorism Military Patch" has ever been used on any official Iranian uniform:


Yet the seller claims that many of the IRGC patches in the store are original - which means that a US store is importing goods from Iran and violating US sanctions policy, which is also explicitly against eBay policies.

It gets even worse, though.

Rentonstore also sells items showing the Houthi slogan, which includes "Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews:"




Importing items from Yemen is likewise a violation of US sanctions policy.

Complaints have been made to eBay about these items to no avail.

Apparently, old Dr. Seuss books are too offensive to sell, but "Curse the Jews" is perfectly OK, according to eBay.
