Which small claims court to use if paid by paypal?
<p>I have had a monetary loss in Atlanta but I live in a state far from Georgia. Can I file in small claims court in my state (which would be convenient for me) or do I need to file in Atlanta (which may be prohibitively inconvenient)?  Or does it depend on the rules of the specific small claims courts?</p>

<p>On reflection, perhaps the crime took place over the internet. I paid by paypal and the other party did not use the money as agreed upon, pocketing it instead. So, where did the crime take place?</p>

<p>Why has it come to going court? Paypal themselves should handle it. I've used that route for non-ebay sales several times. Odds are they will refund you, they almost always side with the buyer.</p>

<p>Unless you marked the transfer as "gift", then they won't</p>
