If ebay chooses not to let listings of anything secondhand , so be it but it will be to their detriment and i really cant see how any enforcement could made.
Why would this not then transgress into selling anything secondhand ?

The point is: nobody needs to make a point (and thereby create a 'moote' point). It's done a different way, by the back door of you like.
There is a wider aspect to decisions of this nature. When commercial enterprise is threatened with a business retaliation by phoney environmentalism, and advertising revenue is threatened, they cave. You only need to NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- a nerve to enrage the so-called environmentalist legions into excitable manufactured rage to enliven a kind of idiot.
Note: in retaliation to the removal of a word perfectly established in our language and in general polite use regarding what happens when you pluck a nettle leaf, the so -called 'swear filter' is crude, rude, and entirely unnecesary.
I do not swear, ever. .
There is plenty of it about, consider Race, sexuality, gender, BLM and so on
ad infinitum. So companies dependant on advertising and clickability fall into line. It starts a trend and is soon followed by the lobotomised.
Blame, again, social media for attracting the partiality that wouldn't get any cred anywhere else but the echo chamber they inhabit by default.
