I see it working like this:
1. scammer places bid on auction
2. scammer wins auction and ebay forces payment
3. scammer claims kids bid on item and asks for refund *** seller can refund here if wanted
4. seller denies refund and mails item
5. scammer receives item and files INAD claim *** seller can ask for return here if wanted
6. seller denies INAD claim
7. eBay sides with buyer, like always
8. scammer keeps card, gets refund, and leaves negative feedback
Yay eBay!

If they really want to crack down and get rid of these awful buyers, they could:
1. Ban bidders that claim accidental(child) bids. You get 1 chance, after that, you're gone. It's not the seller's fault you can't control your kids.
2. Ebay should baseline INAD ratios, like maybe it happens 1 out of 300 orders. Then if a buyer exceeds a certain threshold(say 5% INAD complaints), just ban them. They're either super unlucky or they are chronic complainers that are looking for discounts. Either way, the hobby doesn't need them.
Maybe a 30 day ban at first, then life without parole after that. Their name/SSN gets blacklisted and they can never create another ebay account...ever again.
