Alex it appears to me that these are only the "MINITURE" medals for use with dress uniform and not the full sized original medals.

While disappointing to see them offered worldwide on eBay some families have either no wish to keep any family history as they have no interest in the past or they need the cash and can only see the dollar value. These were probably sold ages ago by the family and are now in the hands of a dealer.

When you look at other items he has on eBay there are numerous (7 pages or more) British, Canadian and other Commonwealth medals for sale from through the years.
