How to ruin a fake watch sale on ebay.....

Original sale of fake Omega (with a Landeron movement):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200950623239?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_12164wt_1180
Cancelled second offering of fake Omega:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200953085651?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_12110wt_1210
Here is what I did:
1) bought the watch
2) informed seller next day that his watch was a fake and no payment would be sent (at first he said it was not a fake and I should send payment right away)
3) wait for seller to cancel the sale so he can get his selling fees back (which he did)
4) wait 7 days so you can post negative feedback on his fake watch which I did the same day he relisted it. Somehow he was able to remove the negative feedback but he also removed the auction?
This was one of the most hidious fakes I have ever seen so I kind of lost it. Here is an idea you can use too because ebay will do NOTHING about it. Have fun with those fakers!
