Did ebay remove Condeferate flag listing? I can not find any 5ft x 3ft standard size confederate flag before they are completed banned like the Nazi flag.

yep they are all going, everything.

So I can buy Japanese Rising Sun flag that was used under to kill more than tens of millions of Asians (and thousands of Australian), but I can not buy flag that represent an army branch in the American civil war?

**bleep** ebay.

And wouldn't it make your day to have an ebay seller completely at your mercy for trading off ebay?

Help me out here please lyndal1838, ...investmenttechnology and kuro are one and the same member, so what, we have one member here with two names talking to each other. l think l saw this in a steve martin movie once, what is the left side of the "Brain Kuro...." talking to the right side of the "Brain Investmenttechnology" ????? What a totally confusing situation that must be. The left would not know what the right was doing, as usual.

One asking the Question on Flags, and the other side answering the question.

Am indebted to kumo....for his kindness in the last week or so that he has shared with me, ....cannot think of ever how to repay !!! But l am thinking about it.

Both names are the same person, block both, here is a bit of reading for you, just so you can see what "type" of buyer sellers have to put up with...

That would be right. Why would the Americans care about anything that happened to Australians or in Australia or the Pacific region.

They are more interested in sanitising their own history or is nsoem cases changing it completely.

Double standards? You bet.

I am not going to buy in to any discussion about the rights or wrongs of banning the confederate flag. This thread got me doing some google searches, and there is a lot to read, for anyone wanting to know more. Apparently, it is not just eBay that has chosen to ban this flag within the last week.

I am inserting a screengrab from wikipedia for members to read. I know wikipedia articles can be manipulated by those that update/contribute to wikipedia, but I feel it is good a start point for understanding why companies are now banning the confederate flag. I took a screengrab rather than cutting and pasting the text because there are a lot of active links in the text, and I didn't want to have so many links in a forum post.

The difference is the Rising Sun is a current, OFFICIAL flag, whereas the Confederate flag is the loser's defunct flag hijacked by white supremicists.

With your professed background/interests I would have expected you to know about the Rising Sun, at least.
