Let's be honest, if you own a shop you've probably experienced this happening before. It's annoying and petty of a player - usually new - to strip your shop of anything that they can then make anywhere from a few cents to $5 on a stack for example.
For myself I had a problem with LifeLikeSea doing this and he was banned from my shop so I had no further problems from him, but to be honest the damage was done. I had to restock a lot of items that were picked clean because of greed.
That being said, thinking about it I didn't lose out financially in any way as my prices were reasonable and anything that was sold back to me was also at a reasonable price so the only thing I lost was time to restock (which was a ball-ache I'll grant you.)
I think the system we have now works just fine, banning someone from your shop works and if the offender comes back chances are high there will be staff on to deal with them immediately or a screenshot can be taken and it can be dealt with later.
As far as I see it, although frustrating as a shop owner, as long as you shop around and research what things are worth then you can't possibly lose any money in the long run. If you are unfortunate enough to buy for an inflated price it's a great way to learn a valuable lesson about the economy.
