eBay

I paid $506 for a 17.3" laptop in a bid I won. 2 days after I paid, Ebay removed the listing. Seller shipped a small package to near by address in same city with same zip code. I went to the local USPS office they looked up the item they delivered snapshot a photo and it was in a small package with the correct tracking number but incorrect address! Ebay will not let me dispute this transaction because it says delivered. So all the seller had to do was print a shipping label, that automatically generates a shipped statement and provides a tracking number, Ebay removes the listing, without telling me anything, So I have to track via Paypal. Item shows delivered? I go to the post office and they prove the seller just sent a small item to a near by address! I have pictures from post office supervisor who spent time looking up who actually received the fake item. Ebay`s reluctance and automatic denial to dispute due to item delivered status make me believe they create these fake accounts.

If this is a good thief, and without any information I will assume it is, then they will offer "free return shipping". They will then claim the buyer didn't send back the item, and only refund 50%.

So what if they do? The rest of the refund to the buyer will come out of eBays pocket.

The way you're suggesting this *might* work out for the buyer is on appeal which would mean $500+ out of eBays pocket as a courtesy (which I assume is a super long shot to say the least). Whether the buyer wins on appeal or not doesn't matter to the seller - they get to keep every penny either way. Assuming the seller offered free returns, they only get to keep half.

What's an INR?

This is why it is an "Item Not Received" (INR) and not a "Not as Described" (NAD) claim. With a NAD, a scammer would force you to send back the package you received in order to be refunded, and since you didn't receive a package then there is nothing to return. Thus, this is an INR claim.

Why couldn't the OP just send back a box of rocks? Then the seller would have received something and would have to refund. There is more than one way to game the system.
