Why do E-Bay allow sellers to advertise goods at ridiculously high prices , ripping people off. one

Why does E-Bay allow posts for goods at unrealistic prices that give buyers false information and leads to buyers being coned out of money.

One example 2016 U.K "battle of hastings 50p coin, fact the coin is only valued at abeing advertised for £50 up to thousands of ££'s , when in fact a used coin is worth no more than £1 the site is full of them. 

This sort of thing is  giving E-Bay a bad name.

At last some sense about "used current coins" not being worth much more than their face value!

If buyers think it is worth more then a "fool and his money are soon parted"

EBay allows sellers to set a price as they see fit!  In my view it gives the sellers a bad name ...
