Maybe I've been lucky ebaying here all these years and only having this happen to me a handful of times. It makes me think that most buyers won't actually go that far in scamming the system. But it just happened to me again.
A buyer (with a 1 day old guest account) bought an item with upgraded expedited shipping (which doesn't happen often). They filed a SNAD return just saying they didn't get what they ordered. Before accepting the return (because basically ebay forces us to), I message the buyer and ask to elaborate and tell me what did they actually receive, with possible photos of the item. I get no replies until the last day for me to accept the return so I just do that. Today the package arrives and all that's inside is some giftwrap tissue and a generic Christmas card. I guess they were trying to be comedically funny with the card.
I've realized so much more this year that the crazies do really come out during the holidays. It's a little sad when you think about it because it should be a time to be nicer to strangers and friends alike. That's all, sad story over.
