There are already multiple lawsuits pending against them. Their main
defense appears to be that they are not responsible for the content of the
ads.

Nope, not just to sell on eBay.
Part of the problem is, that on eBay, a "seller" is just an account name and
password. At least some of the scams are being conducted with hijacked
accounts ... basically another form of identity theft.
