I never see senseless product listings on Ebay. For that matter, I get Ebay shipments from Japan faster than AMZN gets me packages from a warehouse in the next state. People selling animals and farm stuff on craiglist sometimes struggle to spell words like ‘cow’ and ‘pig’ but once more the listings make sense.
Do you believe that this is because Ebay knows something that Amazon doesn't know? I personally think Ebay just doesn't drive the kind of sales volume — or have the particular expected sale+logistics lifecycle (immediate payment to enable immediate shipment of locally-warehoused goods through Prime, etc) — that makes these particular scammers interested in exploiting it.
Also, as you're describing this more, I'm increasingly confused, because I don't think I've ever seen an Amazon store listing that is truly "senseless" in the way you're describing. Maybe it's just that I've only ever visited Amazon's Canadian storefront, and these particular attackers aren't active on there; but while I see lots of AliExpress-dropshipped product listings, lots of page grooming, etc., but never a completely-senseless listing. I believe you that they exist; but can you link an example?
