If there were a way to take them to Small Claims Court, you would have a very good chance. However, jurisdiction or "where the crime/fraud occurred" would be an issue. Find someone in Texas who, like me, feels O.K. about retribution and would pay this guy a visit!
I wonder how Ebay would feel if you ran an "EBAY SUCKS" banner on your auctions??
Rich, your friend in commiseration!
