The beauty of this is that they can't start multiple new seller accounts
to prop up their buying feedbacks too.
I think this will work...

How do you verify their address? They could easily buy a few penny parts and
have them shipped for minimal postage costs to a random address. Do that ten
times. They don't care if they arrive or not.
The first scam they do easily outweighs the costs of the postage to a false address.
Or they will buy pennies worth from stores, say sorry that they placed the order
by mistake and they'll pay for the parts anyway to compensate the seller
(and so the order doesn't actually cancel). That'll be 10 completed sales
for less than 50c.
Even worse, they'll scam sellers as buyers before scamming buyers as sellers.
They'll place 10 orders, get them, do their selling scams, get shut down
and then scam the original sellers by claiming non-receipt.
