I have been looking at listings from all of the above mentioned accounts over the years and have always been suspicious of them.-----but unfortunately , that is the nature of ebay. The problem is, ebay is the problem, not sleazy sellers. Ebay is making ,millions and millions of dollars by supporting and allowing sellers, such as this to continue using their system.
I have had a lot of discussions with ebay about their lack of attention to the errant behaviour on the part of sellers and there are always excuses or comments like " I will bring this issue up at the next policy meeting" or " I'm sorry you feel that way" or " That's the first I've heard of that problem" or " We are investigating ,making some changes" or " Sometimes it takes us a little while to implement improvements" .
Ebay gets a lot of money from this guy. He has to be really, really, really bad to get them to notice his behaviour and to stop allowing him to use their system for mutual profit.
Ebay, now ,once again, allows phone contact. They have vacilated over this, many times over the years but it seems that for a while at least , they are at least a little serious about entertaining people with issues, in a direct way
So, all of you ---and it seems that there are a lot, who are livid about Mr. Aronson's activities on ebay; COMPLAIN----make sure it is a legitimate complaint , and preferably within the past 45 days---otherwise they won't do anything( policy)---but maybe if there is enough???. The best way of doing this, is file some violation in a listing( look for "report this item")---something like a fake item , or if you've bought something recently that was lousy, file about that, or excessive shipping charges----anything that works. You can do it electronically or by phone. If Mr. Aronson is as bad as he is claimed to be , then that is the best way of shutting him down. Ebay doesn't really do anything ,until the evidence becomes overwhelming. I'm sure there are enough of you out there, seriously bothered enough to go to the source.
