Agreed, eBay isn't the retailer.
Did they charge Paypal too since the financial transactions were probably made through Paypal? And many were funded by Mastercard, did they sue Mastercard for not ensuring the merchandise being purchased is legit? How about the Internet providers that allowed the sale in the first place? Dell because they made the monitor...
If selling of something is illegal, law enforcement should be going after those who sell it, not the medium for the transfer of information. They go against eBay because it's easier to attack one entity for a huge sum than it is to attack a bunch of little targets for small sums.
