Last week, news came out<\/a> that NECA’s Django Unchained action figures had been discontinued after drawing controversy from groups like the National Action Network and Project Islamic Hope. <\/p>\n

Since then, naturally, the toys became instant eBay shopper bait. Today, TMZ is reporting<\/a>, however, that eBay has banned the toys from sale on the site, providing a statement from the company that they were removed because they violate its Offensive Materials Policy. However, you can go to eBay right now and find numerous listings for the toys. Here’s one: <\/p>\n

\"Django<\/center><\/p>\n

Apparently they haven’t been able to keep the toys off the site. This could end up hurting some sellers, as the company “cautioned sellers not to re-list the items,” according to TMZ, which also shares this quote from an email eBay has been sending sellers: <\/p>\n

\n

“Since the manufacturer of this product has discontinued the item\u2019s sale due to its potentially offensive nature, we are not allowing it to be sold on eBay.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here are some things that are still perfectly acceptable to sell on eBay, according to its Offensive Materials Policy: <\/p>\n

– KKK memorabilia pricing guides
\n– News and magazine articles about the KKK
\n– Documentaries about the KKK
\n– Books about the KKK
\n– The film “Birth of a Nation” and the book it is based on, “The Clansmen”
\n– Stamps, letters and envelopes displaying Nazi postmarks
\n– Currency issued by the Nazi German government
\n– Replica or novelty stamps or currency of Nazi Germany <\/p>\n

Listings for the toys are also showing up on other big ecommerce sites. You can currently find them listed on Amazon, Bonanza, and even in Google Shopping, which is now based solely on product listing ads. <\/p>\n
