If its happened repeatedly, report it to ebay. They can track the patterns. I've reported people more than once. Ebay won't tell you what they do as a result of the report, but sometimes certain user IDs just disappear.

I should also add...be surprised by nothing. The economy sucks. People have a lot of money tied up in their collections and hobbies and might be in a tough spot. They will do a lot to stay above water, especially if they think no one is watching. Sad but true.



Ask around with collectors and dealers, nothing is moving right now expect very high quality stuff. The advanced collectors don't stop in bad times, but the new ones back off or don't ever start. The prices were so high when the economy was booming, that poeple spent money on anything and are still trying to get big money back. If they spent money they didn't have, they are now in over their heads. Doesn't make it any better when they are taking the money out of your pocket though. Simple thing for sellers with a lot of money tied up in something is to put a reserve on items, but that scares many bidders away. So they take the cheaters way out.



Now if money isn't an issue for the person who did this, I say name names, but that's just my opinion.
