I wouldn't say there's zero mechanism for transferring hardware. The process is outlined here. Granted the typical scenario for transferring serials between orgs is when it's all part of one company or during a company split in which the admins exists in both orgs. Problem with the whole ebay thing is the source of the gear is totally unknown. There are 7M+ APs online globally. That opens up plenty of opportunities for theft. So it's understandable why Meraki wouldn't just blindly unclaim gear from an org and let someone else claim it. Heck, someone wouldn't even need to physically have the gear. They could just jot down the serial, open a Support case, claim they physically have it, and ask a Support tech to boot it from the rightful owners org taking it offline. And yes, there's been a huge uptick of people selling promo gear, CCNA gear, etc.
