With over 13,000 employees at eBay, I'm sure they are aware of crypto. If there was an advantage to their current model to use crypto they would have implemented it already. And like the previous poster wrote, there are still fees with crypto, and the company needs to make a profit.
I don't think any developer here would spend thousands of hours making an eBay clone if they couldn't charge fees, and the instant it started making money, eBay could add it on easily.
What you want is an auction site that doesn't need to refund/return.
you are thinking too centralized.
a cryptocurrency oriented marketplace should not be centralized, everything in it should be peer to peer and without any servers or any kind of centralized authority. that means there is no additional fees to be paid to the creator/developers of the project.
i think the closest example of a serverless P2P marketplace is OpenBazaar project.
eBay can not compete with something like that. the only problem is that people aren't currently so eager to see their cryptocurrencies as currencies but rather investments so they are not ready yet.
