The bands ebay won't let you sell thread.

Post by yo_baby_sup »

I've had some trouble in the past selling a few bands. Sometimes its for their obvious NS ties, other times its completely random. Figured this might be a cool thread to start a list. Since i'm new this might already exist, if it does someone clue me into where it is.

I use metal archives to check lyrical themes but that doesnt help with the random bands. Also info as to why certain stuff gets pulled would be excellent.

Guess i'll start here

Absurd -almost always gets shut down even though there are about 20 bands with that name

Eisenwinter -NS

Profanatica -i see tons of stuff has ended but have heard from 2 people they had stuff ended.


then my friend sent me this list

occasionally Heldentum, Luror or Wolfsmond for sharing members
Graveland/Thor's Hammer/Capricornus/Infernum
Hahohej
Bilskirnir
Burzum
Drudkh/Hate Forest
Desolation Triumphalis/Funeral/Kristallnacht
Goatmoon (only vinyl seems to get pulled for whatever reason)
Pantheon

Hmm. For those that only sometimes get pulled, it might depend on whether or not ebay receives complaints about the item. Sucks if ebay doesn't tell the seller why the item was removed, but most of ebay's policies in recent years have not been seller-friendly.

A year ago I listed 100+ albums on ebay with original musik-sammler infos, where there's a song listing included. I didn't even notice it, that some of them were pulled off - I still could see those in my ebay section, but they weren't public, I suppose because there were some vulgar words in it ... :) Which is surprising as I don't have problems searching through popsike for Fuck Off vinyls ...

any vulgar words in your auctions will get them hidden. so basically ebay steals your listing fee and then hides your item without telling you.

i just heard if you just check off germany as a country you don't sell to most stuff will not get pulled. no idea if its true.

Most of the black metal items that have been pulled over the years have been down to complaints from people in Germany

But this one really carries the NAZI message, right?

only Devils' Sabbath was free of NS. Though the Mein Kampf is quite too over the top to take seriously.

Yeah, my knowledge of the Russian scene is rather small.

Thanks.

I never looked into the lyrics to be honest. The artwork is over the top, with a rotten zombified Adolf raising from the grave, so the context behind it could be anything. Also on the armband the symbol is not swastika, but 4 bars surrounding a dot :).

Anyhow, the music was very decent oldschool thrash, but I didn't feel compelled to keep it in my collection. I had 10 copies and all sold for $50+ This was in around 2005, nowadays it probably will fetch $100+, maybe even more.
