Ebay to ban listings of Confederate flags

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - EBay Inc said on Tuesday it will ban Confederate flags and related items containing the flag's image from its website calling the flag a "symbol of divisiveness and racism." eBay's decision comes after Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Sears Holdings Corp said they would stop selling products bearing the Confederate flag on Monday, a week after a white gunman shot nine dead at a historically black South Carolina church.
