File a complaint on the federal fraud website(i can't remember the link but it's on ebay) . cashing that check without sending the goods over state lines is U.S. Mail and wire fraud which is a fedral offense. I bought a motor off of hybrid motorsports in Atlanta and got ripped off. Paypal, ebay, and the feds all helped me to get my money back. plus the guy was so scared he sent me an extra $400.00. They took the money directly out of his checking account when the amount became available. Oh, and I never dropped the federal complaint either but I'm not sure if anything happened. Although I am a collection manager by profession so I was able to handle it. he thought I would not be able to find him or his relatives. I can find anyone, even more so when I'm pissed. Always pay by credit card or paypal. And, a lawyer contacted me about someone else they ripped off on ebay and I gave them all their personal information. It turns out the guy was a minor so his dad was fully responsible. He sent me the extra $400.00 to keep charges from being filed on his son. I cashed the $400.00 money order and then told him to go **** himself. Let me know if I can help.
