Not to argue, but what are you going to do to make this guy "learn"? Send him dog poop in the mail? Spam him? Post on a message board to not buy from seller ID "DoucheBag8999"? Didn't we all learn from the GI Joe comics that "the cycle of vengeance must be stopped, for it is a poor purpose in one's life"
eBay lets anyone--buyer or seller-- misbehave for "three strikes". Three unpaid or un-sold items and then they'll ban you. Of course, the banned person can still re-register under a new name and start over, but for a seller that's tough. Also, S/H fees have to cover the seller's eBay listing fees, final value fees and PayPal fees. Even if you sell something for 99 cents and no S/H, you'll only make 42 cents profit.That formula doesn't pro-rate as the selling cost increases, but it gives you a good idea of how fees can cut into someone's profit. For more detailed info, mess around with this page a little: eBay Fee Calculator (Single Item) I'll admit that someone charging 8.00 for a single comic or figure IS gouging, though. But if you've never sold on eBay, that link will enlighten you to a seller's mentality a bit.

You can't make them man up or learn a thing but I feel that I did everything I could in my ability to show this guy that he was wrong. Now will he "learn" anything......probabaly not. Will he "man up" and do the right thing with this problem or future ones with other people....probably not. So yeah ebay does have some VERY flexiable rules for both buyers and sellers but hey it worked in my favor (sort of) in this case so I can't complain, or at least if I did it wouldn't help a damn thing lol
