I am sorry to hear that this happened. It reminds me of the time I bought a textbook from a lady, and she had the picture posted of edition 6, but I received edition 5 in the mail...and my professor would not let me use it, so I told the girl that sold me the book that I was minoring in business law and knew my rights and I also quoted to her from the ebay website for the legal rights of the consumer...and I scared her enough that she immediately apologized and returned to me my full cost. It was easier than I had expected it to be, so I guess she was a bit nieve.
Anyway, I hear Clark Howard talk about this all the time on the radio on how to protect oneself, and you are right...he says to use a real credit card for charge-back like you said.
HEY! That link that was on here a few weeks ago that led to a website where this guy bought some truck parts...and the guy cheated him...remember that one? They mentioned on there how to go about filing for mail fraud. I say continue pursuing this guy, even for $20.00. Or send him a bomb in his mailbox. [img]smile.gif[/img]
