In several hundred sale transactions, I've only had one buyer who acted erratically. He was very nervous, likely because he was paying me top dollar for a collectible item and was barely able to afford it. He was annoyed even having received it that it wasn't exactly as his fantasy about it had set his expectations, even though it was very accurately described. I offered to take the item back and refund his money without question, split the return shipping charge. He came to the conclusion that he liked it too much, it was really what he had wanted, and begged off with an apology.
I require buyers to contact me to promote good communications. It seems to work. I've only ever had one other "bad sale", not on Ebay, by one of those scammers who want to launder money through a seller. It's very easy to simply refuse the sale and accept no money from them.
