Not only that but as soon as you listed something he would contact you directly with a buy-it-now offer outside eBay. People who gave in on that would find their stuff relisted by him a week later for 10 to 100 times the price he paid them...
I know, this is how capitalism works, but in a community of (mainly) hobbyists that kind of behavior does not increase ones popularity.

I don’t understand why you think someone should not try to profit from selling things in order to become popular. If you are foolish enough to overpay for something that is available from someone else for far less, then shame on you for not doing your research. There are plenty of opportunistic scalpers out there waiting to cash in on suckers with deep pockets and lazy minds.
