Why is Ebay accepting listings that for collection only? When non essential travel is forbidden.

Non essential travel is forbidden in most of the world. Listing items that are collection only is encouraging the spread of the Corona Virus. So unless you can walk to the collection point whilst keeping 2m away from anyone during your daily exercise the transaction should not take place.
EBAY WHERE IS YOUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?

For several reasons:
1. Collection items can easily be collected during an 'essential travel' journey.
2. There are ways of making collections without encroaching on a person's 2-metre space.
3. Collection items can be collected at any future time, as they should only be paid for in cash or by bank transfer (PayPal is not safe for collection items).
4. The item being collected may well be essential to the person buying it, ie. urgently required.
5. The quickly-generated cash from a collection item may be essential to the seller, ie. urgently required.
6. Ebay quite naturally expects people to use their commonsense, which people will quite naturally do in the current situation.
