What is the name of your state? IL
Hi, I need some advice from a lawyer who knows IL law. I sold an item to a woman off ebay to save on fees. Anyway, she sent me a money order for 350.00 for a coat. I sent it off to her around 3 weeks ago. She says she never got it. So after 2 weeks of emails and calls and her being really mean, she called her local police department. She lives 5 cities over from me. We are in the same state. Anyway, the police officer who took her report called my sister's cell phone today, dont know how he got it, and told her he was looking for me and told her what was going on. He said that this woman didnt receive the coat and to tell me that I had to bring the money down to the station to pay her back or he was going to come here and arrest me for felony theft. She called me and told me this and I called the number he left with her. He was very nice then to ME and didnt make threats or whatnot like he was doing to my sister. Seems weird. Anyway, he was really nice and said that he wanted to know what happend cause there are always 3 sides to a story and blah blah. I told him I shipped it out around the 22nd of February to her and that she has been trying to bully me into paying her back now. I guess I am dumb for not getting some sort of confirmation or keeping the receipt, but Ive never had an issue on ebay before with someone not getting something. So i have no proof. Yet i have no proof she didnt get it either. She could be just saying she didnt to get money back. I dont know what to think. I just know that I shipped it. And even if I wanted to, there is no way I could pay her back as I have no money to pay her back. I just have social security, and that pays my rent and whatnot. The police officer said he would wait 2 weeks more to see if it shows up then call me back. So I want to know this. Can he come here from 5 towns over and arrest me cause she says she didnt get the coat? Or can they get a warrant or something? I just cant believe this.
