Item-specific Listing Removed Sick Of It???

[pandorasbox*2013]

Ebay has a specific category for Golliwogs under Dolls. There are over 30 listed. Mine was removed as it was reported and removed under the Hateful & Racist policy. Why would they have a specific category for an item if they are only going to remove it because obviously someone who has issues is offended.!!

I'm really confused now.   Just did a couple of searches.

It seems black mammy dolls and Aunt Jemima dolls are allowed.

Aren't they just the same as golliwog/golly?

I would have thought that they, too, would be de-listed

And is it the name or the likeness that is frowned upon?

There are quite a few listings for black knitted dolls/ black dolls that are still golliwogs

Well, there's you're problem.... By which I mean, eBay is pretty well known for its inconsistency, both in policies and enforcing them, so if they're going to be your ruler for measurement, confusion is to be expected.

If you'd read any of the material I linked to, you wouldn't need to ask.
