You can't. No negs for buyers, pretty soon no item strikes counting against them either.
It's getting ridiculous. I'm dealing with someone who made up a flaw on an item and tried to force me to give him half his money back with the threat of either I did that or I'd get a negative. When I kindly offered to have him rturn the item for a full refund he went ahead and dropped the negative, which I got removed almost immediately due to the feedback extortion. His response when he discovered that his little plan didn't work was to file a Paypal dispute, and now I'm waiting for him to take the next step in response to me once again offering a full refund to take a returned item that I shouldn't have to take in the first place since the flaw isn't there. Since I can't leave proper feedback for this buyer's behavior I can't warn other sellers about what this guy tries to do so others will get the same treatment from him and probably cave to him to avoid getting unwarranted feedback.
Now that eBay is forcing sellers into having a return policy of at least 14 days the next big scam will be buyers who will purchase a card, relist it before they even have it by reusing the scan, end the auction early when they aren't profiting from the original purchase, and return the item. They will have plenty of time to run a full 7 day auction and get the card back to the original seller, and as most people know the majority of new cards sell at their highest price in that first week, meaning the seller who got that price and has to take it back 10-14 days later will not get that price again.
