    So amazon or ebay are responsible for a merchant scamming you?

    Wüsthof is responsible for people being stabbed with their knives?

    Ferrari is responsible for people driving too fast and crashing with their cars?

    Or if we extend it into absurdity: Are you responsible for paying taxes that your country uses for bad purposes?

      Yes eBay and Amazon is responsible for not vetting sellers and buyers on their platforms and why the experience is so terrible for honest sellers.

      The other examples aren’t applicable because Ferrari, wüsthof, or local taxpayers don’t make money off of vehicular manslaughter, murder, or war crimes.

        Guess we fundamentally disagree on this point then.
