EBAY WON'T ENFORCE ITS OWN RULES | Buying

I came across an eBay store in Egypt the other day with items described as "ancient Egyptian, authenticity guaranteed". Either the seller is breaking the law - it is illegal to export ancient Egyptian artifacts from Egypt - or the seller is lying and his descriptions are fraudulent. Given the quantity and uniform appearance of his goods, I'd say the latter, that they are fakes. Nowhere does the seller say that these things are copies, replicas, he stresses that they are ANCIENT and GENUINE. I reported his store to eBay, eBay replied with, "He hasn't violated our policy". Other sellers likewise sell FAKE "ancient Roman rings, Roman sculptures", FAKE "ancient Anglo-Saxon brooches", etc., and eBay doesn't care. Why not? Other sellers have been disciplined or even removed by eBay for breaking international export laws or lying about their items.
