How can they tell its AI buying if the agent uses the right user agent and works through a real browser?

It may just be to stop third parties from creating a whole business out of "shop for me" AI bots. Individual users getting away with it might not be a problem, but with it being against ToS, it'd be a lot more shaky to build a business out of it.

In fact, it may just be that eBay wants to be the business selling AI "buy for me" agents.
