I don't see an easy solution here. Sellers end up raising prices to compensate for these kind of buyers.

Then, what happens is that new sellers enter the market and undercut you...until they figure out they are losing money.

The trouble is, there's no end to the pipeline of new sellers :)

And there is no end to the pipeline of new buyers who expect miracles to happen, i.e. quality product, which normally cost $100, to buy with shipping for $10.

Also, sellers already get kicked out from Amazon quite often for not being responsible. Now we see other side to be forced to be responsible. If anything - this is good tendency, unless government or media will intervene.
