You Really CAN Buy Practically Anything There

If you're going to allow third parties to use your website to sell things, like Walmart and Amazon do with their "marketplace" programs, is it your responsibility to check what they're selling? Walmart, for one, has pulled a seller's offensive coffee mug after people complained. The mug in question used the "R-word" for developmentally disabled, and one side issue is wondering who would think that was funny. But the mug's been pulled, and it's another example of technology allowing stuff that's moving too fast for some folks to catch up with: while you'd assume Walmart has people reviewing every item on its website, you know they aren't vetting everything.
