1. Where the heck have they been? Those of us in the anti-spam community
have been pointing this out for YEARS.
2. A lot of the responsibility for this belongs squarely on the shoulders
of those who are being spoofed: eBay and Paypal, in particular, make it
so hard to report incidents of this type to them that a lot of people
(including me) simply don't bother any more. Compound that with their
complete failure to report taking any action (even to the people who have
gone the extra mile, jumped through all their hoops, and reported spoofing
to them) and it's pretty clear that they just can't be bothered.
