If you are having to wait for 30 days for payment, it means you are just an occasional seller.
Those who sell fairly regularly don't have their funds on hold like this.
You are right in that there are risks with selling on ebay, in that a bad buyer can make trouble for you. If you send items with tracking, that should cover you for delivery, but if a buyer claims the item was faulty or not as described then yes, they may get a refund. And sometimes it is unfair.
If you only want to sell occasionally, you may be better off with Facebook marketplace.
