  • EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.

    EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.

    Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.

    Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.
