E-Bay does LOTS of inappropriate things - like making judgment calls on who
can use their service and who cannot - based on the links contained in a
website. I quit using E-Bay a long time ago.

Legitimate, appropriate. Tomayto, tomahto.
What makes a site "legitimate"? Do you mean EBay is "legitimate" because
they're not a scam?
Is a "legitimate" site therefore allowed to do anything it wants? To me,
even in the absence of SPF, if a site originates mail with an
envelope-sender domain it doesn't serve, it's acting inappropriately,
which makes it illegitimate.
Yes, many sites do this. Well-designed sites do not.
