'Why did eBay side with the buyer when he returned my Apple MacBook?'

Last time I sold on eBay I remember there being options to restrict who can bid. Like having users that had a good track record. Do they not do that anymore or have the scammers managed to mess that up even?

They removed these settings. That's exactly the point at which i just started losing interest. I still have a huge pile of stuff i meant to list years ago that i just don't have the motivation too now.

Too many crap bidders, no way to block them. Ebays logic was that they "didn't want to discourage new users" or some nonsense.

How does one get a good track record if they can't bid on anything?

Plenty of things you can buy with 0 history. Mainly from large sellers that can absorb the cost.
