I must admit that there are some actions taken (or not taken) by ebay that smacks of inequality.   Sellers can be wiped out for accumulating a few defects but buyers can accumulate hundreds of "defects" in the form of strikes and bid retractions with no consequence.

I think we can all agree that both the buyers and sellers we want eBay to look at, end up getting ignored.

In this thread, we've already established the existence of buyers who have thousands of bid retractions, who has probably hundreds of Unpaid  Item Strikes, who receives many false positive feedbacks from sellers (denoting lack of payment), and who has a history of giving tons of negative feedback to sellers.

And in past threads, we've established the seller side: the lying of item locations by Chinese sellers, the misrepresentation/abuse of multiple quantity listings (for example, putting a $1 phone case in the same listing as a $500 phone, another blatant abuse is having an item called [OUT OF STOCK] valued at $1), and sellers who persist in selling bootleg/pirated music CDs.

If we can only pair up the policy-violating bad buyers and policy-violating bad sellers.
