What is the name of your state? California
I purchased an item (non tangible goods) i.e. a membership to a gaming community. After the purchase was completed and payment had been made the sell informed me that the account was no longer available and refuses to refund my payment.
I read through Paypal and Ebays protection policy and they will only cover tangible goods...
I have still filed with Paypal and Ebay but expect no refund or protection from either..
This means I am out $296.00
My only recourse will be civil action? The seller lives in Florida, my understanding is that I can file in my state and county based on the fact that the item was advertised for sale in my state and county without reservation of sale.
my question is: are my assumptions of venue correct with the following sighted
28 U.S.C. 1391b and c or 15 U.S.C 1121 and 1125 a and U.S.C 1331, 1338a 1338b 1367
i.e. can I force the defendant to appear in my venue due to the fact that the sale was made over the Internet and advertised as selling in my district?
Also are there any other ways to pursue this in a legal matter that would force the seller to pay back the money I am owed? fraud? etc?
Any and all help welcome
