Give him your ebay i.d. and you'll get more than you asked for, although he's quite literate and never says 'god bless'.
I should never have contacted the guy, but I can't tolerate fraudsters and a*holes. I've been called the latter many times here, but it's always been by bigger ones who just didn't like any hint of competition
The contact has continued to flow from these two i.d.s. To answer my own question, I was able to find an area in ebay where you can let them know about unwanted communication. Not sure if it will have any effect, but we'll see.
Also found that if you put someone on your 'blocked bidder' list, it's an ebay violation for them to bid on your items using another i.d., or for any of their friends or family to bid on your items. That was good to find out.
