Blackface statues. Racially insensitive language. A seller whose email address begins with “Klanman1KKK.”

It’s not some Confederate shop in a corner of the Old South – it’s an eBay storefront run out of a New Jersey hamlet just 100 miles south of New York City.

In the wake of last week’s controversy over blackface figurines at the luxury brand Prada’s Manhattan shop, the I-Team has been looking into where else you can readily get such offensive merchandise online. Turns out it’s not hard to find.

“Surfsidejack1” has been an eBay member for almost 18 years, and his customers like him – he’s got a high feedback score, almost 98% of which is positive, and he’s considered a “Top Rated” seller, which means he does more than 100 transactions a year.
