If i refund a buyer I note it in follow up feedback so that it will be obvious if it becomes a pattern.

If you suspect someone is defrauding sellers you could report it to the police as you would any other crime. If there is enough evidence the police will be able to investigate.

I think your concern is admirable however there are a few questions
1. Are the Sellers refunding AND she is retaining the item?
A Seller cant be scammed unless they are somehow being tricked into refunding & allowing the buyer to keep the item.
2.Are you aware if any of the Sellers are reporting her for fb extortion?
3. Ebay themselves take a dim view of excessive refunds to a buyer, has this person never been sanctioned by ebay?
If you are 100% sure of your facts, I would contact ebay by phone explain & ask them directly what action you should take. At the very least this will flag the Buyer & perhaps put their account under review or suspension.

Sellers can only be defrauded if they allow it to happen.
If you post by a fully trackable method a not received claim will not wash.
If you defend a not as described claim properly there is a chance you will win, not the buyer.
Even if you lose the buyer has to return the item so you are only out the original postage.
If you refund rather than have a red dot on your computer screen then more fool you especially if they have threatened you with a neg if you do not refund in an ebay email.

The problem is that Ebay and Paypal allow people to make false claims. I am aware of a regular scammer who made five non delivery claims for one item.
The first claim was disallowed because of a missing L on the registration card.
The second claim was made in favour of the seller despite registration documentation
The fifth claim was decided only when the Australia Post run sheet with a signature was supplied with the notification of intent to file a claim for fraud.
This was for fifty dollars woth of goods and was the fourth time the same customer had ripped off the same person.
and all that could be left was a positive. The system really needs a change.
