For sale are blonde wigs, vintage gold-framed sunglasses and even vintage drills that look like the one used by Dahmer.   
Shirley Hughes, 85, the mother of Dahmer's 12th victim Tony Hughes, has criticized the Netflix show for re-victimizing the family of those he killed and misrepresenting the circumstances around the death of her deaf son.
Hughes has said that she cannot believe the show was allowed to be made and that it pains her to see people profit from her son's death.
'If Netflix hadn't streamed the show… None of the families would be revictimized… and then there'd be no Dahmer costumes this year,' she said.

Concerning the rationale behind their decision, eBay brass said in a statement that the costumes - which included glasses, wigs, and shirts meant to capture the likeness of Dahmer - went against its terms of service.
The official policy staffers were referring to, listed on their site, asserts that there's no space for 'items closely associated with or that benefit violent felons, their acts, or crime scenes within the past 100 years.'
Selling such items, the company said, even as a costume, goes against eBay's user agreement - despite the fact the sales cannot benefit Dahmer, who was beaten to death in prison in 1994. 
The wildly popular Netflix series has proved lucrative for owners of Dahmer collectibles.
