Ebay account hacked advice

Hi All,
I recently had my ebay account hacked, i did notice change passwords etc and informed ebay got the fees back. However i decided to list stuff to today and i noticed in the paypal address box for where the payment is to go was not my address but the address of the ******** that hacked me. Now ebay said they can't do anything further etc. I would like to cause this person some inconvience like i had. I have heard there are programs that will constantly email an account until it crashes. Would it be legal to do this?
Thanks

No it wouldn't be legal. And besides a hotmail account can easily be set up to filter that out!
I'd contact the police - reporting the hacker and see what they can do.0
