Because you and eBay have no way of actually enforcing that after thirty days if the seller does not cooperate.
A warranty is only as good as the value of the reputation of entity offering it. Since a random eBay seller can simply disappear or ignore your claim, a warranty provided by an eBay seller is not worth much to you.
eBay is a good place to buy things if you understand how it works and all its limitations. If you want warranties, you may want to consider buying from authorized dealers, manufacturers or retail sites rather than buying from individuals.

If you purchased a third-party warranty, contact the warranty service directly.
eBay's money back guarantee, which is not a warranty, only applies in the first thirty days after receipt of the item.
Manufacturer's warranties typically only apply if you purchase the item from an authorized dealer; check with the manufacturer to see what your options are.
A warranty is only as good as the reputation of whoever offers it. A claim of a two year warranty made by a random seller on eBay is not worth much. Neither you nor eBay can force the seller to honor the warranty if the seller disappears or ignores you.
You may have some protection from PayPal or your payment method; PayPal and many credit cards may offer up to six months protection for your purchases, though PayPal has limited "not as described" returns to thirty days. After your credit card protection expires, you have few options.
