According to EBays OWN RULES, once they suspend you, you are NOT ALLOWED TO COME BACK AND REGISTER UNDER A NEW USER ID. This A$$ Hole has stolen a LOT of money from a LOT of people,TWICE NOW, and yet somehow, someway Ebay is now Defending him I think the only way to act on this now, and this is being 100% serious, is to pursue this guy legally. It seems to me that in the past people may have reported him to the FBI before for fraud, but after he was booted by Ebay previously, folks were just content to let things go. I think at this point, that a very concerted effort should be made by lots of people here to get some REAL attention from the FBI on this. I mean by emailing people that he has ripped off in the past and by having them and us file a lot of complaints with the FBI. I figure that if the FBI gets enough emails and complaints about it, than they will have no chioce but to act. Seriously, this guy needs to spend some time in jail for the thousands of dollars that he has stolen from people. Anyone else think that this may a good idea?============================================NOTE: I just realized something else though. Something very strange happened overnight besides the removal of etc_stole_me_money. All of jonb's auctions were taken down. He now has a few new ones up, but he had like some 110 auctions completely removed from EBay. I mean they are not even showing up in closed auctions like they ended early or ended at all, they are all just gone. Here is his list that he has up now:eBay listingsand here is his complete items list:search-completed.ebay.com/_W0QQcatrefZC ... sofocusZsoOther than a few auctions that slipped through after all the BINs were done the night before, there is nothing. WTF is going on here?

But seriously, wouldn't it be funny if he won and then I started sending him excuses that I was sick, or my entire family was sick, or that a computer virus shut down my system, and drag it out for months and months? And then just never sent the items? But I guess that would be crawling down to his level..... What are the chances if he won the items that they would very soon end up being sold by him? There's no way he's going to win anyway. If he's still high bidder going into the last day, I'll cancel him. I couldn't conscience doing business with such a fraud and liar. I think he only got in on th ebidding becuase he thinks he can win them and then resell them separately himself, but I have a feeling the final price will be much higher and he'll be way out of the running.Mike B.

If so, why is he BUYING D&D stuff if his avowed purpose was just to get rid of the stuff he still had? Besides my RPGA stuff, he's also bid on (and won) some of the Monte Cook auction stuff. Seems a little fishy to me....oh, hell, seems a LOT fishy, but then again I've already conclusively decided this guy is a liar and crook, so I"m just convincing myself even more at this point.Mike B.

Very curious behavior for someone just looking to offload all his stuff and be done with it. He has actually bid on a LOT of other stuff as well, its just that he has not won them. Whoever sent him the email about and got the response about his *sob* story of his now deceased brother, ought to email him back and ask him why he is buying other D&D stuff, if he was just trying a simple guy looking to sell off his 2 warehouses of stuff, so why in the hell would he be buying things?
