What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? richmont, texas

Hi,

I'm from bolivia, and 2weeks ago we contacted a user on ebay,
due the amount of purhase and some restrictions here in our country we
payed the item using a wire tranfer from Bolivia to chase bank ,
business account,

after some days, the selled said he is in travel and will send the item as his return,
but after 10 weeks, he don't answer our calls and emails.

SO we are worry about this operation,
is able posible to claim the wire ?
or report to police this situation ?

take in mind we are in Bolivia.

Best regards

Gustavo

Sorry, this forum is for US law only. Your matter is related to Bolivian law - we cannot help from a legal perspective.

You're screwed. You can't reverse a wire transfer and chances of finding the actual seller are slim to none. Even if you do it will be very expensive to undertake a law suit in an attempt to obtain a judgement. The problem after that is collecting on the judgment.

Unless this involved a huge amount of money ya just have to let it go.

Given the seller is (presumably) domiciled in the US and the sale took place in the US and facilitated by a US intermediary (eBay), why wouldn't US law apply. In fact (but admitting ignorance of Bolivian law) why would Bolivian law apply?

If this was reversed do you believe US courts would have jurisdiction over a Bolivian seller?
