Cybercriminals have simply replicated some of eBay’s mechanics, but for selling illegal products and services rather than things which are lawful to buy. EBay doesn’t directly sell video game consoles and shoes, they provide a platform for vendors to sell those things. In the same way, the administrators of darknet markets don’t directly sell illegal drugs and malware, they provide the platform. If they don’t sell what they say they sell, their reputation takes a hit.
