    I have to say that its partially your fault, you shouldnt have closed that dispute until he had sent you the domains.
    Anyway, there is nothing you can do now others than to name him (which you did ) so that others can be cautious when dealing with him and leave a negative itrader.

    I guess he wanted you to close the dispute since its possible to raise a dispute only once...The only thing you can do is to be more careful from next time

    no, once it's been closed you can't open it again.

    I had a similar experience where I filed a claim, the user came on saying he would take care of it.. I canceled the claim and ended up getting screwed.

    better luck next time

    There is a reason that they ask you if you have resolved the dispute or not. Never close a dispute without it being settled either way. I am sorry you got scammed but you learned an important business lesson this way.

    I am fully aware of what The term trademark means, back in 2002 or so Madonna succesfully won the domain Madonna.com as she clamed it as her trademark.
    Next time please give other valuable advice rather than suicide ideas.

    That is only because the name "Madonna" IS her trademark, and a celebrity is a unique case. The average person do not trademark their names, and it is very hard to do so since so many people share the same name.
    So in this cause unless the scammer trademarked his name (which I doubt) he is in the clear to register the name and defame the scammer.;)

    But even if the scammer trademarked his name, the OP can still register a name domain as long as he do not try to use the site for financial gain.
    Paypal.com tried to sue paypalsucks.com, but paypal lost the case and paypalsucks.com's owner was allowed to keep the domain since the owner was stating a opinion and not trying to gain financially from the site.
