I'm finding different usernames.  Check this page out:

http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=inexpensivecds&page=4&items=25

There's a "neutral" comment about 4-5 listings down.

ANyway, I made my complaint, and it does appear that he's violating eBay 
policies, at least.  I let my hotmail account fill up (a buddy reported that 
if you let it fill up and leave it full for a month or more, then clear it 
out, you get less spam), so I only got one of the eBay emails about it, and 
not the one that's supposed to contain the actual complaint.  :(  I fixed the 
problem on eBay, but I don't have the complaint to forward to the list.
