Apparently you are not allowed to sell "Victory Bells" on eBay (even though many others do) or so eBay told me when I tried to do so a little while ago. The reason given to me was that the aluminium from which they were cast, just after WW2, was originally part of a wartime German aircraft. I explained to them that there are no Nazi symbols on it and they were originally sold post WW2 to raise funds for RAF charities but to no avail. I was told that the item had been "flagged up" should I ever attempt to list it again on eBay.

It's even got the outline of Churchill's head on it, plus the other 2 allied wartime leaders, Roosevelt and Stalin!

Nazi symbols

Did you use the word “nazi?” They have keywords that are immediate flags, I’ve found. M14, AR15, Nazi. Things like that.

No, not as far as I am aware.


After eBay removed my listing I lost all record of what I had stated so I have no way of going back to check the precise wording of my listing.While I don't recall using the word "Nazi" it is still, however,l possible that I could have included a phase along the lines of "No Nazi markings". I just don't recall having done so but I can't be certain either way.
