I'm sorry. But eBay is not an auctioneer.

I know this because I went through all this legalese also.

I own an auction site and I learned the difference between a market platform vs. an auctioneer.

The auctions are run by the seller. eBay hosts them.

Those cute very modern legalism distinctions between an "auctioneer" and a "market platform" will not hold if those providing the "market platforms" do not take an abundance of caution to ensure they are not biasing the platform towards promoting fraud.
