Yes, if the item is returned in good order, you can appeal the decision for the refund, claiming the buyer has abused eBay's 30 day MBG, Money Back Guarantee policy to receive their refund.
The link below explains how to appeal, I'll admit it's not easy to win , eBay do not see the actual item, and usually favour the buyer's version, but worth a shot.
