We had to remove your listing because it didn’t follow our Offensive material policy. Listings that promote or glorify hatred, violence, or discrimination aren’t allowed.

Obviously eBay thinks it goes against their guidelines. I had no clue and I'm rather embarrassed.

What would you assume I was selling? I want to know if it's obvious to everyone but me.

Thanks.

Was it something like a fake fur jacket or a nerf gun?

Snake handbag with a swastika on it and a picture of a dead body printed inside

No one's said it so I don't think it's blatantly obvious. It's one of those costumes kids wear in primary for Victorian Day. The evacuee beret and label.

Wow that's crazy! Their algorithm gone wrong! Facebook does that too. I got a listing removed because it said a fake fur jacket promoted animal cruelty.

@TheOrigRights I'm autistic and dyslexic. I didn't think I'd have to point it out in this thread but maybe I should have.

Fancy dress evacuees costume from WW2? Or Victorian dress? Which is it.

Like this but without the bag or dress.

Hmmm. I’ve seen these being removed before but I don’t agree with it.

It’s an important part of history

ahunf · 02/11/2022 11:49

No idea?

Yes, it’s a medieval big catapult thing.

Oh!

I googled the urban dictionary meaning and it means something else entirely 😁

I sold one my older dd had to wear no problem.

Oops sorry. Meant to say it seems from the link that people don't realise it's not for Halloween or a jolly but for the history lessons instead school.

ahunf · 02/11/2022 11:52

But this wasn't worn or advertised as a Halloween costume.

Yes, but it seems some people (link suggests Americans for instance) don't realise in Britain we do these dress up days at school

I'm not sure which is the most offensive to be honest

😂

Armadillidium · 02/11/2022 11:53

So strange.

I was going to guess an Enid Blyton book or a Poppy (remembrance day).

pastabakeonaplate · 02/11/2022 11:53

Sorry cross posting!

I wonder if you could list it without the word evacuee? Somehow.

Victorian times 1837-1901.
Evacuees were WWII 1939-1945

Sorry.

Yep saw your message after I had responded 😂
