golly badges

[vkekellevicto]

anybody had golly badges / golly dolls or any other related items removed from there listings !!

i had 3 removed as i received a warning that these are not allowed to to a violation policy.

i personally think e bay are total idiots by taking this action.

what next - are they going to ban "red indian listings" / or other such like which could be concidered raciest.

You are unlucky there are 100s listed, and I believe there is still a category for Golly Badges. Many are listed as Robinsons or other names avoiding the use of Golly

I never used the word golly or gollywog in any of my listings as below
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
robertson.s gollie badge, date unknown, stamped REV GOMME on rear,
332558362464 - robertson.s gollie badge, date unknown, stamped FATTORINI on rear, GOLDEN SHRED
332558391365 - 3 robertson.s gollie badge, date unknown, VARIOUS BACKSTAMPS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

strange thing is - i received a warning notice 2 days after they sold !.. aparently - if you cover the face with a smiley sticker or such like - you can get away with it.

PAKI STANI BADGES ARE ALLOWED ON E BAY WHICH IN MY OPINION SHOULD ALSO BE BANNED AS THIS COULD BE CLASED AS RACIEST- (JUST MY OPINION)

gollie is the same as golly!

Mis spelling of Golly is deemed trying to avoid blocks & will be considered a worse violation than the proper name

Do not try relisting under ANY name or you will be banned

There is a category but you cannot list in it

Anyone listed as Robertsons etc risks a ban if reported.....I know of at least 3 people who have received permanent restrictions for listing these items
