Try posting in the book board. A lot of bookies don't come here.

At a guess, depending on whether the title included euthanasia, another member reported it. eBay generally don't look at listings. If euthanasia WAS in the title, then it was probably picked up on that automatically.

I would expect a seller to at least know the subject of a book before they listed it. That's why publishers write blurbs.

No sig is a good sig

I can easily read what a book is about on the back of the book but a lot of it's content are not disclosed on the back of the book , a  bookseller is usually not a censor of books and if you go into any large bookstore there is usually a wide range of titles on  subject  such as murder , wars , violence , different religions etc .

Just because someone stocks or reads a book on a particular subject doesn't mean they agree with the content .

I didn't know that a book which exams euthanasia and was published by a leading publisher was not to be sold .

Just because something is not legal , I didn't know it was illegal to write about it ..

So much for freedom of speech!

patch, the freedom in this particular case is eBay's freedom to decide what can and cannot be sold on its own site.

the freedom of speech is there.. penguin published the book... but on this site eBay is the arbitrater on what is / is not allowed.

There are 287 books on euthanasia  listed on ebay at the moment written by many different authors on the subject so it appears that some books on the subject can be sold and others can not be sold so booksellers should check before they list as to what can be sold .
