eBay Pulls Kobe Bryant Memorial Items for Violating Policy
Ensuring people don’t profit off of “human tragedy or suffering.”

Shortly after the memorial service earlier this week, shirts, pins and more from the event were placed on eBay with prices reaching up to $2,000 USD.

In case you missed it, Nike recently remembered Kobe Bryant with its “Mamba Forever” tribute.
