It's not that hard for a buyer to swap out some old parts for some news parts in an item and then claim that the seller sold them something bogus.This actually happened to someone I know. A guy in China bought a pair of speakers from him, then removed the good working drivers and replaced them with identical looking bad drivers. Then, the buyer demanded a refund because the speakers "didn't play" and ebay decided against the seller. The seller was forced to refund the money, pay for all shipping costs, and accept the return of his "broken" speakers.
If the Chinese guy had borrowed the speakers for six months before altering and returning them I'm sure that the seller would have felt even worse than he already did, especially if he had already spent all of the money he received from the sale.
The other problem to consider is the time of the season. If, for instance, it is easier to sell an item around October/November for the Xmas/Hannukah season and a buyer buys the item at that time, but then holds onto it for six months before returning it, the seller will then be forced to wait for several more months more before re-listing and selling the item again in October, November, or December. 30 days for returns should be more than enough time...
