It all boils down to trust... You either trust your seller, or buyer,
or you don't.
You take precautions, (take a reasonable number of them, not going
overboard), and if you get burned you modify how you determine trust, or
you take your chances again.

There are no guarantees in life, save at some point you will reach your
expire date, and will have had to pay the Government taxes...

Nice to know that this is not as wide spread as some ads I've seen would
lead one to believe.

From a seller's point of view, would it work to ship the gear with some
unique sort of tape spanning the seams, and saying to the buyers that
anything opened can't be returned?
The tape idea has another side to it, as a buyer I have a right to
inspect my purchase to assure that I received what I paid for. An
unscrupulous seller could attempt to use this in various ways for their
own gain as well.
At some point there has to be a modicum of trust between the parties.
I've inquired about equipment in the past and sometimes there is just a
vibe that tells me to move on. I've gotten some grief for doing so. Oh
well.
