You would probably need to talk to a lawyer that is certified or has experience with international law/cases. International cases are kind of complicated.

I have experienced this problem before with Ebay and I believe their general rule is to reply with a "cut and paste" response...not very helpful. \n\nThere was a feature about this on Watchdog, if you missed it check out the website for more info\n\nwww.bbc.co.uk/watchdog\n\nNot that it will help your situation...but you're not the only one out there experiencing this...

When you buy a product from a company, you have statutory rights that protect you from buying faulty products. You must insist on a full refund from the shop. If you accept the partial offer, you will waive all your rights. Do not allow them to bully you. The law says that they must either replace faulty goods or refund you in full. \nIf you cannot resolve this with the shop, you should contact the local authority trading standards department who I can assure you will have nothing better to do and will work your case with full gusto.\nAnother option for you is, BBC.co.uk/watchdog.\nWhen the manager of the shop phones you, inform them that you will use these options. You should find them more compliant. Good luck and let me know how you get on.

Your have the option to negotiate for fair compensation, and your only alternative is to sue ...  but you have two problems with that.  \n\nThere is a limit on what a mediator or Judge is going to believe when it comes to your claim of "invaluable" as the items were in a storage shed.  The second hurdle would be that the "invaluable" items were not insured. It comes down to a matter of credibility, and "invaluable" along with "storage shed" and "uninsured" don't really mix well.\n\nNegotiate for a fair value of the items with management.

Ebay has $1000 protection for buyers. They should reimburse you for the fraud happened with u. Keep the copy of your check you wrote to him. Follow with ebay for reimbursement, if they dont co-operate write a complaint letter to their CEO. If nothing happens, then you can go to court. Well, ebay should help you in this matter.

If you invented or developed the product you have the initial intellectual property rights. You need to protect these by having them registered. If you have not done so and the other party registers them you will have to take steps to have the register corrected. To collect money from an overseas UK client you would have to take out a writ and serve this according to the rules of court. If the writ is not challenged then you can have a judgement awarded in your favour otherwise you will need to prove that the amount is owed. Whether you went through an agent or not is irrelevant as the principal is responsible for the acts of his agents. You should, however, consider naming the agent as a party in your writ. When you have a judgement this can be registered with the High Court in London and will be enforceable against the client.

Hi,\n\nI hope you'll listen to this answer because it is grounded in knowledge. Although some have answered that "No. He can't sue." The fact of the matter is anyone can sue anyone, over almost anything. Someone else tried to answer that someone can only sue "a financial burden or emotional burden that's irreversible or irretrievable without the court of law's help." That's not really accurate. What he is sort of describing is a tort, but that still wouldn't be even 75% accurate. Let me explain:\n\nThe two follow-up questions to the simple "Can he sue" are, "Would he win?" and "Is there a basis for the suit?" Let's take the latter first. The basis for the suit is grounded in his belief that you entered into a contract with him. The fact that it is electronic is irrelevant based on Federal Law, so disregard any comments suggesting that the fact that this is online has any bearing. A contract is a contract and you did, in fact, enter into one. Is the contract binding? Generally, yes. By joining eBay you agreed to be bound and by bidding you once again acknowledged the binding nature of your bid, agreeing to buy at a certain price. There was a meeting of the minds and a contract resulted. You may argue that there was no meeting of the minds, but to do so, you would (although there are other ways) probably have to show that you gained some knowledge of the item, after the auction concluded that was not *available* prior to your bid. It could not be something you missed or that was ambiguous, it would have to be actual new knowledge generally. So, YES there is a basis. In fact, it is this very basis on which a service, gaining a lot of popularly, called ReliaBid is based. ReliaBid helps sellers collect on bids, when necessary, through traditional debt collection services.\n\nAs to who would win in a lawsuit: nobody ever knows. However, a few things to consider. Any action for this amount would have to be brought in small claims court. It is highly unlikely that it would be brought. It is not unlikely that if you failed to show up, that a judgment could be entered against you. I doubt that legal fees would be awarded (I even doubt someone would retain or find an attorney to retain) for damages of this amount. It is possible that court fees could be assigned to whoever lost. So, who will win? Hard to say. But more importantly:\n\nOne thing brings me to believe that this person will not bring any action: he claimed his basis for action would be fraud. Your auctions do not constitute fraud. Your actions constitute a breach of contract. Clearly, he has a weak legal background and has not consulted an attorney. I'd guess that he is making idle threats. If he really cared about completing his transactions, he probably would have joined ReliaBid. Folks have taken other folks to court before, but my guess is that it won't happen this time.\n\nI hope this has been informative and left you with some good decision making information.\n\nDISCLAIMER: This information is not meant to constitute legal advice does not constitute legal advice or legal opinions and should not be used as a substitute for obtaining legal advice from an attorney licensed or authorized to practice in your jurisdiction.

Scroll down to the very bottom of the ebay.in home page, there is a link for each country site of ebay. Click on the one you want to go to.\nBe aware that not all sellers ship international, and be aware of the types of payments allows. You are mostly dealing with regualr average people, not retailers or big businesses.\n\nGood luck!

Court clerks aren't allowed to give any information except administrative. By and large, Florida civil servants are genial and helpful. So either you were unlucky and got the other kind, or you pursued a line of questioning that is against his or her orders to answer.\n\nState courts generally do not have extraterritorial jurisdiction but there are many exceptions, not likely including eBay sellers.\n\nYour first objective with eBay fraud should be to file a claim with eBay. If you paid with PayPal you can get as much as $1,000 (less $25) back. I just got $153 back from them last week; I'll get the $25 as well if they manage to collect from the seller.\n\nUnless you know the identity of the seller you're not going to be able to sue; so you're going to have either to sue eBay first or to subpoena the information from eBay.\n\nWhether you can collect for lost wages and other expenses depends on whether they are foreseeable results of the fraud. In some states you can file a misdemeanor theft complaint rather than a civil fraud one, and although the standard of proof is higher it is far more unnerving and damaging to the fraudster. And if s/he is solvent may get a quick refund for you.\n\nBut what do I know. I'm not licensed in Florida.

Depending on where you bought it. If it had come from a dealer i.e pc world or somewhere like that you could get a replacement providing you can prove where and when you bought it. If you bought it else where you could have a problem. My advice is to go back to where you got it first. Explain the situation and see the result. If you get no joy tell them you are going to go to Trading Standards, and seek legal advice from them.. That might change their minds.\nGood Luck..

I would start by filing it in yours.  If he objects he can file a motion with that court for a change in venue or a motion that the court in your area does not have standing in the case.\n\nBut did you try to work it out with the seller, I did not see that mentioned, it only says you filed a claim with the auction site.\n\n\nand how was the items not what you bought, how was it wrong

How much money is the item worth?  \n\nI read the info on claiming a refund through the USPS one time.  It seemed simple enough, but I couldn't do it because I didn't have the original packaging.\n\nI can tell you that paypal will normally give you your money back very easily.  They will rip sellers off at the word of a buyer any day.

Use E-bay.  There are at least some steps you can take on e-bay to recover your money through paypal.  But if they aren't reported they will continue.

From the paypal website.\n\nWhen you pay with PayPal, you gain access to a forum for dispute resolution called the Resolution Center. Through it, you can file a claim against:\nA physical good that you paid for but never received.\n\n\nA physical good you purchased on eBay that is significantly different than what was described in the listing. \nDispute Resolution specialists gather information about your transaction and help you resolve the issue. Throughout the process, you’ll be advised of your claim’s status via email and on your Account Overview page.\n\nFor specific terms and conditions, please review the Buyer Complaint Policy in our User Agreement.

You were 100% ripped off.  I would go to the Small Claims Court over this - it costs £50 for the case and you will probably win back your £160 from them so you gat a net recovery of £110 which is well worth it.

I did specify that any damage would have to be taken up by the buyer but the problem is paypals doesn't see it this way.  No matter what paypals says it is the sellers responsibility on everything.  Paypals told him to send the item back with tracking and they gave him a full refund no matter what I said on the matter.

It depends.  If he outlined the shipping policy in his Return Policy section of the auction, then you have to pay the shipping.  If he didn't, you could file a claim and ask for 100% of the transaction back, but that could take 30 days or more. Depends on how much of a hurry you are in.
