ebay "unpaid item strike" -- what's the consequence?

He says he's going to relist it and stop wasting his time with me because I'm "playing games". Some people love to do things the hard way! He's wasted much more time dicking around trying to make a dispute out of this instead of just answering the question I posed to him after the sale completed. So now I know what an "unpaid strike" means. Still, I'd think that if you get one account cancelled because of unpaid strikes, you just open a new account, right? Yeah, you have to start your reputation all over again, but it seems that sellers don't care about a buyer's reputation -- they care about the buyer's money. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
