You are correct, but unfortunately like so many other things, ebay does not have the specilised knowledge to drill right down into specific plant genomes. They rely on generalisations such as the link I posted from the NSW dept. of Ag. which was titled Musa species.

So how come there is another seller selling a musa species on eBay right now? I told Ebay this to help my case and they said they would look into it, that was over 24hrs now and it took them less than 1hr to find and remove mine
Item number?
I can't find any.
A couple of listings from Thailand, but none here.

I just realised, this other seller is selling the actual noxious weed banana, but instead of calling it Musa acuminata subsp. zebrina which is the real name, he has made up the name Musa sumatrana. So my listing is removed even though I’m legitimately selling a non noxious weed, and his is still there even though he is selling a noxious weed, he just made another name for it
I just googled that name and came up with heaps of listings and images. It does not appear to be a made up name. I havnt bothered to check on wether it is on the noxious weeds list though.

I don't know enough about all the botanical names, but there's this, on seeded bananas -
