I live in Washington, D.C. I (seller) sold an item on eBay Dec. 06. The Buyer, who resides in Kentucky, has been giving me the run around. She has failed to return the item (digital camera) I sold her. She first claim with Paypal stating I never mailed the item out. I have proof of that and I've given that information to Paypal. As a result, she (buyer) has a $680.00 item for free. She claims she's mailed it back to me and I have yet to receive it. Now the item supposedly have gotten damged in the mail. I have photos she has sent me showing proof that she indeed has the item. I have emails from her stating that she does have it. My question is where do I file a claim? Do I file a claim in D.C. or Kentucky?
Paypal sent me to collections and I had to pay the $680.00 back to them. Right now she has a free item. I'm upset and this has put a damper on my eBay reputation and profits. I haven't been unable to sell as a result of this for two months.

File wherever you want. If you file in your court (DC), the defendant can file a motion to dismiss and you would have to convince the court that the court does have jurisdiction. Or if the defendant doesn't challenge and allows you to get a default against her.... you will then have to domesticate your DC judgment into her state to try to enforce it.
