Believe me - I totally agree.

But there are some circumstances that occur - which can only be answered by someone who has actually sold.

Actually having to deal with issues - which affect a selling account.

I've seen answers from some  - have they done the  - acrobatics -  of the minefield - of  listing - description - postage etc - where eBay itself does not even cover all options - and never has.

And - to - add - it seems a little weird - when reading the advice - then right at the final word - ' but I'm not a seller '. ?? lol

Advice is good - but experience with some issues is better.

Some things are easily covered by policy - some are not - some are a little out there - eBay is not infallible - there are sometimes questions - I would not even deign to answer even having sold here for nigh on 18 -19 years.

That's all I'm getting at.
