Maybe the wage cost of emplying people to investigate too deeply into smaller scammers isn't (in their view) cost effective. I suppose it depends too on customers making their claims and I suspect a lot of people who are ripped off a couple of dollars here or there don't bother.
That could be part of the problem where buyers don't think it's worth it or they simply don't know their option
in trying to bring the seller to book or get their money back.
I buy a number of lower priced items for "fun" and I know there could be problems with some of the items,(but I
know the avenues to take if things go wrong).
After checking the negative feedback that three of those seller have received in the last year,(over 3500
between them).
Most are for not receiving the items or not working and a number with one of those sellere,(items priced
from $1 to $20) state that the seller has dragged them past the 45 day mark,(so they still believe that the 45
days is the cut off mark).
So as they have been ripped off will they buy again,(that's a potential loss of 3000 plus buyers).
Multiply that by say a 1000 of these type of sellers with negative feeback from a 1000 buyers each and you
have a million disgruntled buyers that may not buy again from other sellers and/or tell others how they
have been ripped of on eBay.
Slow sales may be due to the number of buyers that have simply stopped buying on eBay as they have
been ripped off or have being told how others have been ripped off,
