Dan, that sucks. As a seller, I almost always just bite the bullet and tell them to forget about it, and I don't worry about blocking them. But if it really bugs you, you can just turn him in for non-payment - ebay will resolve the case by telling him to pay, and there won't be any negative feedback. If he doesn't pay, you get your fees back and he gets a strike.
