Buying his stuff at this stage and paying for them with a credit card would be wise. Stuff gets lost in the post all the time and you need to have the credit card to chargeback. If he kept loosing stock in the mail early on, and got negative feedback from established buyers, maybe he'd give up and leave.
Don't be surprised if you see some "newbie" ebay bidders going after some of jonb's stuff....and eventually leaving neg feedback. That stuff gets lost in the mail all the time, luckily your cc company allows you to cancel the charge with little trouble.
Hi there. I wanted to bring to your attention a seller that has just created a new account. His seller has been on Ebay 3 times prior to this over the last five years and all three times previously he has eventually been booted off for stealing people's money. Myself and others tried to warn you last time that he created a new user ID about this individual and we were told that there was nothing that could be done. The three previous seller IDs that he used are jonb7839, the_game_emporium and the_eastern_treasure_chest!!. They previous feedback for these individual listing IDs can be found here:http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... e_emporium http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... hest%21%21 http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... d=jonb7839It is patently obvious that this seller is the exact same person despite the fact that he changes his name & user ID each time. All that one needs to do is to check the current auctions that he has listed now under his new sellers ID and the 2 about ME pages that he had set up for 2 of his previous user accounts. All his auction listings over use the word RARE and other synonyms for rare and he also uses lots and lots of exclamation points. Additionally, he also likes to highlight individual words in the color red. On top of that, if you check out his previous about me pages for the_game_emporium and the_eastern_treasure_chest!! you will note the same exact pattern of typing. All 4 of these individual IDs are located within 50 miles of each other along Interstate 81 in Virginia. These are not just mere coincidences and it is most certainly the same individual selling again. If this person is not stopped before he gets going again, this pattern of theft from buyer is sure to continue. If you need any further information from me, I will happily provide anything and everything that I can in order to prevent this person from stealing peoples money for a fourth time. Please act upon this complaint as soon as possible as the quicker that you act the safer EBay will be. Thanks for your time, Brian

It would probably be best if everyone else from here reported him with either this specific message or something just like it. I will say though that I am not entirely for the idea on how to deal with this situation that has been discussed privately, but I will say that if Ebay doesn't take him down before he really gets going, the gloves are coming off and I will do just about anything to get this guy stopped, permanently. That includes not only the idea that has been discussed privately, but also continuously notifying the FBI to get this guy shut down permananetly. Over the last 5 years this guy has money from hundreds of different people who if I have to, I will message each and every one of them through Ebay directly in an attempt to bring everyone together to finally bring this guy down. This guy has stolen thousands of dollars from people and until this point he has gotten a pass. I will not let that happen again.....

Badmike wrote: A simple activity that can be used against Wizard/Jonb that is NOT criminal in any way is to simply annoy him to the point where he realizes he's not fooling anyone and to make him paranoid about his "business" and whether he is going to sell anything without a hassle. You can accomplish this by bombarding him with questions about his items, identity, past identities, shipping prices to Antartica, make lowball offers for his stuff, ask how much postage is for everything combined, ask him if he takes cash or change, you get the idea. Let's make this guy so beaten down with dealing with "customers" he realizes it's more trouble than it's worth. This activity is NOT against either Ebay rules or actual laws, so if you want to go ahead.Mike B.

I like Dungeons & Dragons and this looks like a really neat book. But you say it is famous. What it famous about it? Did it used to belong to Paris Hilton or Britney Spears!?! And what is a Necromancer? Bye!Jerry said: Hi! I'm Jerry! I just know its a really popular book. A Necromancer is a spellcaster or Wizard if you prefer that deals with the dead ect. His spells are sometimes directly derived from the dead. Basically a Spellcaster that deals with the occult side of things and dark magic. Thats about the best way I know how to explain him. I've never had a chance to play one. Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas! JerryHmmm. Seems like he actually thought I was being serious. Let's go to the second question which was for: ORIGINAL 1ST ED SUPPLEMENT III ELDITH WIZARDRY 1978!!!!kingofpain89 said: Hi Mr. Wizard. Can you please tell me what you think the stain is? What color is it? Does it smell? If it does smell you might be able to get it out with Febreze...unless it is cat urine. You would have to use bleach on that and it would probably ruin the book. Thanks, bye.Jerry said: What kind of question is that? The stain has appears to have been there for years, and looks to me as if it was possible coffee. If I had to guess. But we dont have any cats... so I know its not that. : ) JerryLooks like Jerry likes to play along...or he is a frickin' retard. Not sure which. Anyway it is late. Going to bed. Will play some more tomorrow.
