Hey, just thought i would throw this in. I work for the state police in Illinois. We have a criminal fraud intel analyst that has dealt with ebay scams, although not quite like this one. the guy was selling item multiple times to multiple people and not delivering the goods. as far as i know they are going to arrest him. you might try contacting the state police in your area and see if there is anything they can do for you. can't promise you they can help, but it couldn't hurt to try.
