I don't doubt there's plenty of ways to scam sellers -- my cousin accepted an overseas check and immediately shipped her laptop to Nigeria...really -- but I have no idea why eBay should be singled out over--well, any other possible way to buy and sell stuff. We used to get scammed and outright robbed all the time when I worked in brick and mortar retail.
For myself, the worst I've had to suffer is a non-baying bidder, and eBay returned my listing fee in that instance.

One of Ebay's new innovations is when a buyer says they're not happy with an item they get a refund and don't have to send the item back. It used to be that your money was safe from thieves if you sent it recorded delivery, but not any more.
