Returning goods under the sale of goods act 1979 when a private individual seller

Just abit confused as eBay allow buyers to return items when they say not as described but it is  actually as described by the seller

sellers don't stand a Chance do they ? Because eBay side for the buyer even though they are lying for a refund   why state no returns when eBay make us accept them and refund the payment

eBay cannot check the goods but the seller can provide evidence if need be why not consider this they take the buyers word as proof ?? Look at evidence from the seller too give them a chance to fight there case it's only fair 

ive been reading THE SALE OF GOODS ACT 1979 on eBays help and contact page this could help sellers with buyers that  are wanting  to return items  sold in brand new condition no faults etc and the seller also states strictly no returns you have to put up with time wasters who do not even try the goods once  recieved 

but they know this cannot be a reason for return and make up some other excuse  for a refund it's wrong and so annoying 

so the buyer then lies about the returns for a refund  When they say not as described

I've actually come across  this problem myself but we still have to refund is not fair on honest sellers it needs  to be sorted fairly 

read this  its off eBay

I quote  SALE OF GOODS ACT 1979 

If the seller is a private individual the goods must be as described but not legally required to be of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose this may help the seller we do have some rights to argue this case of buyers  lying for a refund I think eBay need to look into this as I find this a big problem for sellers we should not have to accept returns based on lies and especially when we can prove  it with photographic evidence surely eBay should give sellers a chance to fight there case what do you sellers think ??

Ebay have to favour the Buyer as they offer them the Money Back Guarantee. They need Buyers mote than they need Sellers. Part of the risk Sellers have to accept on here. You can Appeal a Decision.
