Does anyone know of a case where ebay refused a buyer return request? | Selling

I sold a Word Perfect for Linux boxed software still sealed in clear wrap and brand new. I also state in my sales that 'Returns Not Accepted'. The little guy who bought it opened it (of course) and possible copied it, and then start complaining that it wouldn't install on his Linux configured computer (which is a big variable). It was $24 with free shipping. He opens a case with ebay and lies saying he didn't get what he ordered. Ebay closes the case in his favor in about 5 minutes. My question - I believe that ebay would allow buyers to return a brick for a refund, and is there really ANY reason to put in your ad that 'returns are not accepted' other then to maybe discourage a few people? Seems to me, it makes no difference at all. I sold a reel to reel tape recorder to someone about 10 years ago, and checked it all out before boxing. Seller says it doesn't work right and ebay allows him to return for refund (about $500). I get a box with a bag of landscraping rocks in it of about similar weight! Ebay, in my opinion, has become a place for criminal buyers! I'm not a business, just a hobbyist who sells various things from time to time.
