Tell him to have his buddy PP him the money, then he can send it to you from his account.

The only way to solve it to continue to block him. But you need to file NPB against his other IDs. Eventually, he will be prohibited from opening other accounts, as enough of his account information will throw up red flags on new accounts. It will catch up to him.
Good luck with that guy.
This guy (alex13rodriguez13ab) has spent over $650 since March 18th and hasn't received a feedback from anyone yet!
His Spending Spree since March 18th!
Have you, by chance, contacted any of the other sellers, from which he won auctions after yours, to ask if this guy has paid yet?
My gut feeling is that this guy's a real douche!
I hope everything works out for you, but I sadly think history is repeating itself in this case
Good luck!

He is a very disturbed person and has been following/stalking you. He looks at your auctions for weeks on end. I am afraid that even if you take down this card, he will bother you on your other auctions.
He spends so much energy bugging you, that he could have paypaled the amount by now. He is not interested in paying. He kind of admitted that he will continue to bother you.
I would not believe anything he says and I think you know that by now. File NPB and then leave the card off ebay for a long time. I do not know your financial situation, but is it vital to sell this card?

Here is a link to the auction. I didn't check his bidding history. This guy is a nut job, though. I may just contact eBay and have them close the claim then let them handle it when he gives me negative feedback. The card doesn't have to be sold. Yes, I am unemployed, but resources are ok right now. The eBay store thing is just something to have a little eBay money to spend for myself.
halosfan, if you are interested in the card, PM me. Once all of this is resolved (and I feel confident that the card will not be shipped to Aaron), then I will let you know and we can work something out.
Some of these responses are funny! THANKS GUYS!

Trying to rehab EBAY deals that go bad out of the gate
is a ridiculous errand.
Your buyer is in violation of EBAY-TOS by using an alt
to circumvent a seller's BBL. He can be NARUd for it.
He should have been immediately reported as an unwelcome
bidder. THAT would have ended the drama.
........
If you want to get paid promptly on store items, use the
Immediate Payment Required feature. Otherwise, buyers
have 7-days to pay before an NPB can be filed.
Pushing folks to pay fast is silly, unless you use the IPR feature.
...............
Don't play the "somebody else's PayPal account" game
with the SCUM - disguised as buyers - that has taken over
EBAY.
......
Report the SCUM as an unwelcome bidder.
Tell EBAY the SCUM has threatened to continue "buying"
from you.
He will be gone fast.
(If you can get him NARUd quick, your NPB will be granted
immediately upon filing.)
....................
And, STOP communicating with the SCUM.
That was as much of a waste of time as dealing with this BOZO!!

Report the SCUM as an "unwelcome bidder."

If it cost $32 to get rid of a major headache, it may be worth it. Just think of it as buying six bottles of advil or something.
Send him a note that he can send payment as soon as he can(with the card), so maybe he thinks if he goes away that you will forget about it...which is what you want at this point.

Sorry, but this is the stupidest idea ever put on the boards. This guy is an a**clown from the start. Give him a card, he'll definitely be back for more.
///////////////////////////////////
When heck freezes over, I would do that.
I might send him a special dessert that I made myself.
It looks like a delightful taste-treat and comes ready
to eat.
I call it "storm's fudge pudding soft brownie."
If it cost me $32 to get a pain in the rear out of my life, why not try it.
If it backfires, and he comes back for more, you are still where you are at now, but just out $32(you will live).
Send him the card, tell him to send payment when the card arrives(and when his life settles down). He probably won't send the payment, and then he will think he got one over on you and disappear.
It sounds like he wants just this one card.
He is gone from your life for $32. That is a bargain.
Or, go to the guy's house with Storm's treat.
I am putting down crab cakes, hot sausages, and a pickled pigs foot as we speak. I am going to wash it down with a Guiness and top it off with a fibrous bowl of Raisin Bran. I think should yield good results!

Also, one more thing-- I'm going to continue to BOTHER YOU FOR MORE FREE CARDS LIKE THE AROD 13/50, so the More you LIST

Keep sending me FREE CARDS or I'll have my friend RYAN GODBEY who accepts my packages with DELIVERY CONFIRMATION call you, or maybe a surprise visit from my DEAD GRANDFATHER.

You're not really sending it for free. You are sending it to him first, with the expectation that he will pay after he gets it. Obviously the dude isn't going to pay. But he may stop bothering the guys auctions and be out of his hair.
I don't think he is going to expect a bunch of free cards then. He may try.
It is worth a $32 gamble in my opinion.
Hey...UPDATE...near the end of the day that he was GOING TO PAY WITH PAYPAL....and I have no payment, of course.
I am going to send the card in under the April special and I will bet a dollar to a doughnut that I get a graded card back in hand before this goofball send me the money!!
