Saying item is faulty and not returning it but ebay refunding them in full, sending an entirely different item ( e.g. send a book instead of sending back a laptop ) with Tracking info and then ebay refunding the buyer in full , sending a gfx card back and keeping all the heatsinks are just some of the nuisances I have had to deal with just in 2014. I even had a buyer telling me - you clearly don't know how ebay works, I am going to complain and watch how easily ebay refund me!
If a buyer takes up arms against me, I won't sit by idly. I will declare war as well!
And ebay created the battlefield by not letting sellers leave -ve feedback.
