And that is my problem with everything about the "seller always getting screwed", there will always be a "sometimes" in every situation but rules can't be made for the exception and that is the new norm now.
It is not OK for 100 legitimate sellers to get screwed bc of the fear that 2 innocent buyers get screwed. It is only ok the seller gets ripped off on internet transactions? I don't get the rational personally.
Right. Buyers have been known to not tell the truth sometimes.
Shocking, I know. 🤣
YES. You are correct. MOST buyers do tell the truth just as Most sellers tell the truth. The vast majority of transaction go off without a hitch on the site.

How about when they do tell the truth and it's both irksome and hilarious?

It's not forced upon you, it's your choice, decide who you stand with?
How is Ebay suppose to know who is the one being honest? What about when it is the buyer being honest and not the seller?
Why do I have to be for one group and against the other? I can't do that and be an active seller on the site.
While you may believe that sellers always tell the truth and are in the right all the time, I know that isn't true.

Poor processes, decisions and support are one thing, but when you can possibly get through, they lie to you: 'we don't do that, we block buyers who abuse, we support our sellers, I understand your concerns, I'm escalating this case, don't worry sir - we see your concerns and will manually override the decision'.....all just to get you off the phone, after which they deny you anyway.
Squirrely company.
eBay is merely a product of the internet -- a place where EVERYTHING is transactional and where the lines between good and bad, right and wrong, and truth and fiction have become so blurred as to have collapsed entirely.
I came of age in the 1960s, and I consider myself blessed to have had that opportunity.
Meantime (and sorry to sound like a broken record), I highly recommend reading and re-reading and reading again Section 4 (pasted below) of the eBay user agreement.
It explains everything you need to know about selling here.
"We may choose to be more lenient with policy enforcement in an effort to do the right thing...." LOL
Translation : We will make up the rules as we see fit and when we see fit and we will let these arbitrary decision be made be either a poorly trained over seas rep or by AI.
What a well founded system.

If your main mission is to make millions for you and your shareholders, it is indeed a well-founded system.
FWIW, my philosophy losing money here:
Whether because of a thieving miscreant, a moron in the employ of eBay, or some other injustice, I will not give it a second thought because I have made a small fortune selling here. I am insulated -- psychologically and otherwise -- from a periodic loss. In my opinion its a mindset worth cultivating because you have no other option.
