EBay to disallow racial terms?

CNS News claims that online merchant giant EBay is to implement a censorship policy relating to racially sensistive words.

While eBay's current listing policies prohibit "profanity or patently offensive language," they do not apply specifically to "racist" words.

However, the article also claims that implementation of censorship of sexually or religiously derogatory search terms is not currently being investigated.
