There is also no option to purchase the none magical items from the campaign either, having to homebrew them, you run into some issue like the Hooked Shortspear which is a 1d4 instead of 1d6+4, you can remove the +4 but not change it to a d4
As it says on the PDF you had linked in your comment the Background there is not an actual Background, it shows substitutes for features and Bonds on pre-existing Backgrounds.
For example, The 'Shelter Of The Faithful' feature for the Acolyte Background would be exchanged for the 'Deep Delver' feature or the 'Underdark Experience' feature and the same thing with the Bonds of the Acolyte and the Bonds on the PDF they would be exchanged, as well. Since these are only substitutes for Features and Bonds and not a fully made background, D&DBeyond more than likely did not count it as a proper Background and thus it is not purchasable.

What do you mean “+4?” There are no +4 weapons in 5e that I am aware of?
I think they just mean the damage bonus. Customizing a weapon you can edit the damage bonus, but not the die size. OP, you'd just homebrew it to use a weapon that has the correct die, like a dagger, as the base weapon instead, and then adjust it from there.
