But copies of "Salo" are still readily available... go figure.

Like any censorship it borders on the non-sensical

I don't think it is that non-sensical. They just do not want to be associated with nazi/white power music or labels. Most stores wouldn't want to be either. I sure wouldn't.
Anyways, it doesn't really look like ebay has made much of an effort, because I still see plenty of NSBM/nazi/white power music available.

But not all BM is associated with the white power movements. 90% of the groups are either Satanic or just anti-religious, and that has nothing to do with the missascociation that has gone on. There are a few bands that do align themselves with Nazism/racist views, but not all are, and the overwhelming majority clearly aren't. That was the original outrage, that it was going on because of a missasociation.

Yea, I clearly understand that. From what I heard though, they were only going to remove listings that contained phrases or words linked to white power/nazism/racism. Doesn't really seem like they have tried very hard though, because I still see bands like Taake and Xasthur being listed.

Maybe they don't really know what constitutes it and would take it up on a case-by-case basis that they don't know how to handle. They probably only have a rudimentary idea of what constitutes groups falling into those genres (otherwise, Reign in Blood would get yanked for the song "Angel of Death," which denotes the atrocities committed by Joseph Mengele) and yet I've heard of people picking up those groups you listed, so maybe the idea of what denotes a band falling into that genre is still pretty weak if they were going to do anything about it at all.
