Online store has my money

[wonderd]

Hello I live in North Carolina. I purchased an item from an online drop shipping website, I believe they are located in NY, I live in NC. I have returned my item with tracking however they have not refunded my money. It is past 180 days so the credit card company will not let me do a charge back. What other action can I take to get my money back? They owe me $1100

Head over to NC and sue them.

You mean NY ?

Yes, I got it backwards. Head to their state to sue them.

Would I be able to sue for travel and the cost of a lawyer? I am not sure by the time layer and travel fees add up it will be worth it for the $1100

Definitely not travel costs. If your contract with the company allows for attorney's fees to the winner of a court action, then you can sue for that. Otherwise, no.

This is a complex problem in the modern economy. While Zigner's reverse double secret probation remedy is correct on the easiest way to sue someone, you don't have enough facts included to know where one might sue for jurisdiction.

We know where the person you want to sue is is the easiest. But, what market did they avail themselves to? Do they have enough connection to your state to accept being hailed into court there?

Using abstractions, let us know what happened. You might be able to sue them in your own state.

Edit:
But, no. Probably not travel fees.
