I think some of the eBay people's "business" is selling things they never have had. It is a scam that allows them to get money up front for whatever they want to spend it on and then later they sell things that they "don't have" to get more money to pay the previous bill for the stuff they sold that they never had. Sort of a "money recycling business".
If eBay closes them down, they can simply come in under a new name and start the process all over again.
With the internet the "worlds oldest profession" has really been expanded nowadays... We can't be too careful!
