I am new here been using Auctiva for awhile to list to eBay.
I list historical military items.
My problem is if it is German anf has a swaztika on it eBay kicks it off.
Can I list such items on my Auctiva store without it getting kicked off.
I consider these item to be of historical value and most of my costumers do also.
Any advice will be great.
Thanks Joe

Once Auctiva submits it to eBay, it still has to pass eBay criteria.

Found this to be intereesting, I guess it's not just you...See this:

http://search.ebay.com/swastika_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40QQfrtsZ100

I searched for 'swastika' and got nothing but coins, stamps and postcards. Hundreds of them. I for one can undestand and appreciate a historical military item for what it is, a piece of our history. It's too bad ebay doesn't feel the same way.

Is there no way to list an item on the Auctiva store and not have it go on eBay.
They do allow stamps and money, but supposedly nothing else.
I do see things snuck on there.
Thanks Joe

Hi Joe,
I suppose you could limit your title wording so the ebots wouldn't pick up on it....however, there are quite a few members I know of who spend all their free time looking for things to report. They are actually helping people, trying to stop obvious scams, but if anyone found your listing offensive I'm sure they would not hesitate to report it.

Actually I myself have a great interest in such items for their historical significance, it's really a shame they are so hard to list.

I tried listing honest but vague and I am sure some do gooder that was offended reported it.
One was a very nice black cast German eagle with a wreath in his talons and the swaztika in the middle of that.I have many items, but they are all offensive.

Well lets face it there are still a lot of people living who suffered directly or lost relatives through all that it represents.

I really think at least another generation needs to pass by before the historical artefact label can supercede the horror label associated with these items.

I respectfully agree with ChooChoo on this issue.

Joe...Might I suggest a free ecrater store for such items? www.ecrater.com

ECrater submits to Google/Froogle and your item will come up when anyone puts the item into a search for swastika's and/or associated memoriabilia.

If you open an ecrater store...you could put a link to your ecrater store on your Me page. Or have the link in your signature. If you have your own website dot com set up, you could set a store up on your website and sell it that way.

Take care, Donna

www.epier.com auctions have alot of german military items listed
