I'm an Iranian Hacker, I don't need to watch news to know what is going on in my country. Apart from a gross generalization, Let me tell you why the statement in the slide can not be true. because of sanctions imposed by US to Iran, no Iranian can be selling anything on eBay at the first place.
I personally know Iranians that use eBay. They aren't in Iran and haven't been for a while but still.
..and why did the US impose sanctions on Iran? Do we need to go through a history lesson?
