I'm not privy to how ebay assigns user names but why not just have

I've noticed people with userid's like "fraud-auction" bidding on
auctions from some scam sellers, but ebay will kick those userid's off
the system pretty quickly.

If you don't bid enough to win, you may do the seller a favor by driving
up the price. There may be legal implications if you win and don't
honor the contract.

Sellers can reject bids, and I imagine a bid from a userid calling the
seller a crook would get rejected pretty quickly.

But a generic userid implying the seller isn't honest might be an
interesting strategy for scaring off other bidders so you can buy things
cheap. (obviously sellers won't like you)

In any case, when you've been burned by a seller, the best strategy is,
to use the system to file complaints and claims, and tell your friends
so they don't repeat your mistake.

And understand once you give a negative feedback, the seller is unlikely
to do anything to make the transaction right.
