Why should Ebay be obligated to do business with Romania if Romania refuses to rein in scammers on the platform? It seems Ebay was more important to Romania than Romania was to Ebay since they did in fact do something about the scammers after access was revoked. If they had instead ignored the Ebay block and built their own online platform that would have also been a perfectly acceptable move in line with their sovereign right to choose how they govern their country.
Being free to make judicial decisions such as whether to prosecute online scammers does not free you from the consequences of those decisions. If you want to have access to international platforms you must observe and enforce a set of norms that makes international commerce tenable.
