Hi , is maybe because online auction sites conduct themselves as mediums of public domain marketing and supply of privately listed items and divorce themselves from as much responsibilty regarding the integrity of particular Seller as possible, similar to that of a bus driver who unknowingly transports a bank robber to His/her next job, one can not attribute blame for banking losses to the bus driver
However if the bus driver somehow has prior knowledge of a impending robbery then is obligated as a responsible citizen to report to appropriate authorities
So is maybe not the Selling medium that is the issue but the lack of a specific anti-corruption authority dealing with online auction fraudulent Sellers that needs addressing
I think to a certain extent Paypal avails themselves to resolving individual item issues , but if supplementary support of a more independent nature is required that is more aggressive to deal with organized fraudsters then a willingness to submit to a levy based upon value of the won item to fund such an organization would be a good start , as funding greases all wheels of govt, commerce and indirectly, justice
So need:
Statistics to define losses and justify need
Plausible funding
Initial Govt advisory assistance or direct involvement
