What happened to the escrow(?) system? (a 3rd party being involved as a go-between)
Surely with them involved they could prove that the item was returned to you or not?

For buyers, I completely agree. For sellers, I disagree. There is nothing to
stop someone from raising a claim with paypal that the item they received is not
the correct item, and then send me back an empty box. Paypal will see a package
go through the mail and refund their money.
I still sell on ebay because it's the only serious game in town (hundreds
of millions of eyeballs), but if anyone knows a way to prevent the above,
I'd appreciate it :-)
