Doesn't eBay realize the potential for something like this to happen? Is there no recourse for sellers like this?
If a buyer returns an item but has replaced it (or kept a card or two from a larger lot), are they exposing themselves to mail fraud? That always seemed to be one of the bigger risks scam artist sellers might face if they did something like that.
I've sold a few things on eBay, but the fees really bug me, so I stopped. Never ran into a bad situation, luckily.

If the behavior is repetitive eBay knows this and takes action. The case you are describing just doesn't happen in my experience.
