 Here's my suggestion, if you don't want to spend the
money pursuing the guy thru a lawyer. Shadow ALL his
auctions online, and send direct emails to ALL the
bidders on ALL his items, specifying what he did you
you, and that you're just warning them of his possible
tactics. That way, he may start losing money on his
items, or at least interest. Just set him up as one of
your Favorite "targets", er, Sellers, and watch his
auctions, and send out notices to all the bidders.
Can't do much about the Watchers, but the actual
bidders you could warn. Nothing he can do about your
contacting them directly. 
  This approach would be very time-intensive, if he
does alot of auctions, but might be satisfying if it
gets results. No way to know THAT, but at least if he
gets a reputation, he may take some eco-hits. Ebay
provides the means to contact the other bidders, so
why not use it to warn them? They may pay no
attention, or they may, no way to tell. But at least
they know someone doesn't like him, and someone is
taking the time and effort to cause him some grief.
Sorry there's no easier way, but it's about all you
have to use againest him. Good luck!
