What are the latest ebay policy changes in 2025 that impact sellers from China?

1099k Threshold of 200/$20,000 Returning?

What are the rules about privately contacting other sellers about a buyer?

Long story short: buyer opened INAD and sent back clothing that she totally destroyed. I went ahead took the loss and refunded, and then I reported her to ebay. Because of the ridiculous nature of how she returned the item, I feel like there's no way...
