As others have pointed out in this thread and is seemingly confirmed with a simple search of listings, eBay appears to only allows annotated versions of Mein Kampf which are meant for scholarly work. There is a historic value to those that doesn't exist for a Dr. Seuss book. And as the article points out, books that have a lower degree of historical significance like The Turner Diaries are removed.
Also let's not pretend that these moderation policies are foolproof. There are always going to be examples that slip through the cracks. If you want eBay to remove them for sake of consistency, you are free to report those items.
That logic just leads to a circular loop in which nothing can ever be banned because meriting a ban immediately makes something worthy of not being banned.

Also, all the copies for sale appear to be from just before or just after the start of WWII, which means they'd likely have annotations of little modern scholarly value.
>As of this writing, I see three listings, and one appears to have been by someone hired by the Nazi Propaganda Ministry to do an English translation:
I'm not sure what distinction you are trying to show here. All three listing on eBay are annotated versions. That includes the one you mention that was originally commissioned by the Nazi Propaganda Ministry but the Wikipedia link says wasn't actually endorsed by anyone in the German government.

I'm not sure their age makes the annotations worthless. One can even argue that contemporaneous annotations are more valuable as they serve as their own historical documents.
Either way, like I said before you can always reach out to eBay support if you feel like these should also be banned.
