They can’t accept reports like that because the bad actors will use them to kick everyone else off.
It’s a complicated problem and I wonder if eBay’s best effort/don’t get involved strategy isn’t ultimately better because it forces everyone to pay attention.

And Ebay definitely did not have a “don’t get involved” policy (source: I worked on EBay’s fraud prevention team for years). There was a reason you could only communicate via the platform messaging and you couldn’t send email addresses through the platform.
