Have you heard of facebook marketplace, esty, shopify? EBay doesn't have the monopoly it once did.
People go to court for murder yes but they also go for smaller things like a neighbour's tree causing property damage. The cost are different.
Companies that force users to give up the ability to sue need to provide an alt system.
"Rather 10 criminals who go free, than one innocent person behind bars"
This is not how things work outside of tv and talk radio. 1/3 of people in jail are innocent. Cops being sure doesn't make a fact true. Everyone has different priorities and cops are extremely good at jumping to simple answers because this is in their collective interest.
EBay is still where you turn for random things that few people need. Baby toys can sell on Facebook, but parts for an obsolete computer are valuable to the right person and worthless to everyone else.
Amazon is the place for rare things few people need these days.
Selling things where you need the perfect partner are not things that sell well through an auction. An auction is 7 days where you hope to get many people interested in your unique product. An obsolete computer is better on a shelf with a price tag available all year until it sells.
Amazon is absolutely terrible for anything used or where minor variations matter (e.g. collectors items) as they will just combine all listings into one with a generic image. Useless for many things that eBay covers.
