Speaking about eBay's policies (not about Nazis), I sold some of my own books and the auctions were removed. I asked, and they said that I put them on sale as autographed books, and autographs could be objected as forged (nobody did, but it could happen). I told them that I was the author, as they could easily check from my personal data and the name of the cover, so all I had to do was to sign the book myself for them to be really autographed. In the end they said that it was better to sell them without saying that they were autographed.
Ok but... If this is the policy... Why did they put a "autographed" checkbox in the submission form?

Speaking about laws, in "Wings of War - The Dawn of World War II" I planned to put a 65 x 45 mm card for a Finnish Hurricane. It would have a couple of svastikas on the wings, 4 mm large or so. It would have been one of 140 tiny cards in a sealed pack within a sealed box, and the svastika would have been a Finnish one (not a Nazi plane). Well, we had to give up after strong advice of our local German distributor. After that, we went on very pridently. That's why our WWI Voss' miniature has no white svastika on the fuselage but a cross that you must complete yourself if you want more historical accuracy:



Again, it's a non-Nazi svastika.

Strangely enough (after reading all that), nobody objected at having a Goering plane in the range:
