I think there are other reasons. eBay has already (successfully so far)
argued its immunity from being held as liable, claiming they are only a
marketplace (which I wholly agree with, though they should be held liable
on account of their policies).
I'm sure the real reason is because they actually do sell this data.

Yes, that
sucks majorly. Wired a couple issues ago had a top 100 ideas
kinda article, and one of them was for eBay to keep the listings up past
30 days. Such an unfriendly company...
Lots go away after 30 days for a good reason - it cuts down eBay's
liability. The company is a middleman, and as soon as they can wash their
hands of a deal, the better.
