This is a real hard problem. Bad people make everything bad for everyone else. The problem is more about the US market laws and scalability I think.

Large companies like eBay have to take fraud and customer support costs and weight it against their company vs you as a seller. It would take a company that cared more about sellers than their own bottom line.

The customer is always right. Middle men like eBay have two customers though: the buyer and the seller. They support the one that helps them the most and let the other get burned occasionally.

Note: I mostly buy "buy-it-now" items on ebay
