: particular item and may not endorse that
: particular sale, however, we try to understand and
: tolerate the many viewpoints held by our worldwide
: user community. As a result of these things, eBay
: will not edit the contents of a member's listing
: if the item itself is legal to sell and/or it is
: not prohibited due to internal listing rules.

: : However, there is an alternative you may want to
: consider. In situations where items or services
: are listed that are not consistent with community
: morals, the community may choose to express their
: opinion to the seller of the items or services.
: Please remember that many individuals may not be
: aware that the item or service they are listing
: might be offensive and may welcome your email
