“Zazzle provides an open marketplace where designers can create and upload a wide variety of products,” said the company. “When a product is brought to our attention that violates our terms of service, we take swift action to have the product removed.”
The shirt was designed by a third-party seller named “The Slesk Bazaar.” As of Monday, the user no longer had any items for sale on Zazzle. A cached Google search showed that the designer had also been selling a shirt with the words “At least I’m not Christian.”
Twitter users, including the accounts @No2BDS and writer Ashlee Marie Preston, complained on Sunday about the product. Zazzle promptly responded and removed the controversial shirt.
“Thank you @zazzle for removing this despicable Nazi paraphernalia,” tweeted @No2BDS. “We hope you banned this vendor from your site.”
You are very welcome and we thank you for bringing this to our attention so we could have the offensive designs removed!

A search on Zazzle for “The Slesk Bazaar” did not show any items from that user.

It strikes me that any remedial action taken is always after the horse has bolted. It is possible thousands of these, and many other offensive items, have already been sold and are “proudly” being worn by their owners. Surely these organisations have the facility to require approval prior to goods being posted for sale. That way, this ugly side of humanity would not see the light of day.
