^ Sign him up for annoying newsletters? lol I would be annoyed by that.

^With what, his IP address?? Seriously, it would be a job to access anything worth relevance.

Several websites have done way more than just banning. I'm pretty sure MMI could get his money back if they wanted to.

^Its not MMi's responsibility/liability, we can try and help...but ultimately its between the seller and buyer.

It's true, its not MMi's responsibility. I'm an adult, I'm not going to go around blaming other people for my problems. It was not 100% my fault, but it was still partly my fault. It was absolutely 0% MMi's fault.

^Its sucks and we hate it, dont get me wrong......But it really would be very hard for MMi to push the issue and get anywhere....I mean, what proof or legal repercussion do we really have?

We would love to be able to do this, really we would. Nothing would bring a smile to my face more then having a scammer get arrested. But only the FBI, CIA, and other government protection agencies have that happy power. We could get some information on him, but nothing of real use into solving these problems.

Again, sorry guys, all we can do is ban them and work on making it harder and harder for them to come here again.

Update: I did however, do a IP lookup and got the number to his ISP's abuse line, and called them and filed a complaint. I doubt this will do much, but its about all i could do.

always a good step closer though =)

Yes but that is about Corporations and large businesses scamming the consumer. Not an ebay-tybe sale.

How did it work out with paypal? We all feel your pain.
I had a similar situation about 6 mo's ago and got scammed. I paid with paypal and although it took almost a month, I did get my money back from paypal.
