If 'The whole point is; it doesn't seem to have been sold for any more money' yet the original asking price was £450 (£200 more than the purchase price), surely your point is moot?
If you rob a bank but you accidentally drop the money whilst making your escape are you suddenly innocent of your crimes because you didn't turn a profit?
It's entirely possible that they bought it with the best intentions then changed their mind but a simple 'changed my mind, anyone want this for what I paid' post would have someone at your door to collect within a few days. That's not more taxing than creating an eBay listing and offering postage. Original intention or not the idea was to make money.
Chazphot-
OP looks like they're based in Peterborough, as per an earlier classified ad.
Ebay seller based in Northern Ireland, as per their ebay listing.
The frame was most likely posted at cost, for the original forum sale to take place anyway.
To sell on ebay you must pay fees, of 12.8%; but on this forum, you do not pay any fees to sell. Selling on ebay with a; 'buy it now price with best offer', it is normal practice to list the item for more than you actually want; that way when offers are invited; you have wiggle room.
The sale doesn't seem to have accrued the seller any profit. They achieved their probable goal of recouping their cash. This forum listing was hardly thronging with replies, dibs and other users' intending to buy, so there's no guarantee; 'offering the frame back on the forum' would have achieved the same result?
'Robbing a bank' is pretty much, universally, a crime. However; selling your legal and legitimately owned property, for whatever price another party sees fit to buy it for; without coercion, is definitely not* - Your analogy is non-sensical and therefore moot.
*Unless it is a trial by internet bike forum users on perceived ethics.

The whole point is; it doesn't seem to have been sold for any more money, than it was bought for.
Secondly, unless the OP is a business, then this was a private sale, that doesn't need to uphold distance selling rules. So if the purchaser bought the frame, and changed their mind and wanted to return they probably couldn't. Ebay is a much easier platform to sell a bike-related asset, than the LFGSS forum, so if the buyer needed their to recoup their funds quickly; it would be most logical to use ebay. You would be a total failure as a reseller, if you sold an item; that you intended to turn a profit from, within a few days, for the same price that you paid.
I agree; I wouldn't buy items on these classifieds unless I needed them for personal use. However, this isn't 2007 anymore when the classifieds were a place to barter parts for beers etc. It has now become a largely unregulated global selling platform, with a huge volume of anonymous and casual users, not connected with the early days of the forum or it's etiquette.
There are likely more worthy targets, of your socioeconomic internet justice, who could be harangued online; if that's what floats your boat. ;-)
