I'd argue that at least Ebay falls into that category. Lots of scams are being pulled there, e.g. fake Nvidia GPUs with hacked firmware to appear as higher end models, or power banks and batteries which claim to have 10 to 100 times more capacity than they actually have:

Ebay could proactively fight those scams or at least remove the fraudulent offers after they've been reported, but they do nothing and profit from it instead.
Hopefully, laws will eventually adapt, but until then, there's a lot of money to be made from unsuspecting customers.
