In the wake of the mass shooting of nine people attending Bible study inside a historic South Carolina church, major retail chains are removing all Confederate flags from their merchandise lines.

This message further fueling the debate in South Carolina over whether to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state capitol there.

On Tuesday, eBay announced that it would ban the sale of the flags and “many items containing this image,” Johanna Hoof, an eBay spokeswoman, told USA TODAY network.

Ebay called the flag a “contemporary symbol of divisiveness and racism.”

In the wake of the race-motivated shooting, a growing list of big retailers are removing Confederate flag items from their merchandise, including Wal-Mart, Sears, Etsy, Google shopping and Target, among others.

In the wake of this tragedy, Amazon saw overwhelming demand for Confederate flag products. However, Amazon has now announced that they will join other retailers on banning the flag.

Amazon has more than 29,000 listings for Confederate flags, posters, knives and other memorabilia.
