Buyer protection for private sellers: a trap

Question

With buyer protection, any buyer can simply return items at the seller’s expense. Ebay apparently doesn’t check anything and just sides with the buyer. In my case, the manufacturer’s remaining warranty on the device had also expired by the time it was returned. So I will think very carefully about whether and what I will offer on Ebay. I suspect many other people have already had similarly bad experiences with Ebay!?

And what would you imagine an inspection by eBay to look like? How should eBay check the item BEFORE the sale and AFTER the buyer has received it?And you really think that only private sellers are affected by this? Far from it!
