This newbee moron bid for and won SEVEN Nintendo 64 packages. I wonder which one he decided to pay for. He also won 2 X-Boxes. Only one PS2, though.
These idiots think they can bid on a bunch of the same thing and then pick the best one. Asshole.

I had a buyer do the same thing to me with a Gameboy Color. It is incredibly frustrating.

Ebay does get rid of them quickly, right?

Unfortunately, no. They need three strikes to be banned, and a lot of sellers don't go through the process of waiting 7 days from auction, then filing a non-paying bidder report, then waiting another week to close it out and get the final listing fees back.
I suppose a seller could contact ebay and tell them what this assclown is doing, but who makes the effort?

i don't let bidders with low feedback or negative feedback bid on my auctions. i don't let bidders with non-paying bidder strikes in the last 30 days bid either. that solves most of the problem usually.

How do you do that? Say so in the auction? I can't imagine just saying it in the auction text working on these chickenheads. Is there a way to block them automatically or do you have to cancel their bids?

Go into your account preferences in eBay and you can set conditions on who can bid on your auctions and who can't. There's really not too many options there but you can ban people from bidding who ;
Are registered in countries to which I don't ship
Have a feedback score of -1 or lower
Have received 2 Unpaid Item strikes in the last 30 days

What seller doesn't go through that process? You need to go through those steps to recover the fees. I find it hard to believe that any seller who gets stiffed doesn't want their fees refunded.

Agreed - I always hit that process; sometimes people pay up when they get a notice from eBay.

You can block them automatically, but I DO NOT recommend it. There are a ton of great great new users out there that would love to bid up and purchase your items, blocking all new users under X amount of feedback would significantly lower your overall sales and it's just not fair to people who want to sign up and buy things.
EDIT: But yeah, block the people with negative feedback (Below 0), I've done that already.

I'm just curious... what makes you think that he won't pay for all of these. Maybe he's some sort of re-seller or something (granted, he'd have to be a stupid re-seller), but maybe he thinks that those are all deals so he bought them. I'm not saying your wrong, but I don't see why you think he won't pay for them.
