Seattle, WA. I'm not very adept when when it comes understanding how to solve legal problems and any help would be greatly appreciated. I think this is the right topic to post this thread in, but if its not Im so sorry and just let me know so I can move it. Between mid december 2012 and early january 2013, I sold (gave on accident) an Asus google Nexus 7 32gb wifi tablet to an ebay user. $356 was the price. The most frustrating thing about this situation is that the "payment received" button had been checked off, so I shipped the item, found out soon i didnt get paid and I still havent been paid. Im almost sure I didnt accidently push the payment received button myself meaning the complication may have been a technical ebay problem.... a sibling messing around on my account, a hacker of sorts? I did open an unpaid item case that ebay couldnt resolve, they could only give me the seller fees back, they closed the case and told me to file a police report or ask a lawyer. The police cant help because the buyer is out of my state, I spoke to a few attorneys but they had different specialties than online business and couldnt point me in the right direction.. I opened another case on ebay that got closed in 45 days , no luck. My questions are: can a small claims court handle this case or would there be an issue with jurisdiction or time the crime happened? Am I entitled to compensation for the consistent refusal of the buyer to pay in relation to the time I have waited and the backlash of overdrafting my bank account and not being able to pay credit card bills on time. -thanks any advice or a step in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
