I respect eBay's ability to decide what is for sale on their platform, but I agree with the reporter: It's incredibly silly to ban a Dr. Seuss book when Mein Kampf is available.
This is what people call "virtue signaling". The article says that only 7000 copies were sold of the highest selling such Dr. Seuss book. This has no practical effects besides publicity. If they are going to seriously take this view, then they should have started with Mein Kampf.
Now, if they were to release a press-release with a long list of banned products, or classes of products, that isn't to say I'd necessarily agree that it was a good thing. But at least it would be consistent.
