i am in california.
I sell stuff on ebay, i had a guy that bought something from me and i was not able to ship his item due to some difficulties i had with a partner i had. i was going to refund his money but and he was getting impatient. he started emailing me saying he was going to report me to ebay and other governmet authorities. he then committed to purchase over $4,000.00 worth of merchandise in order to leave negative feedback for me on ebay. he then said payment was on its way and i received an envelope from him today with no payment. He is claiming in his public responses on ebay that i am trying to rip him off and that i am a thief and other derogatory statements. his remarks are posted on my feedback rating and in an unpaid item dispute i filed with ebay. his statments are hurting my ebay business and other business because i give a link to my ebay account to people who buy from me elsewhere, so they all can view these statements. do i have any legal recourse against him? please help. thank you.
