What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi there,
I am an owner of an online business in sporting goods and specialize in buying, selling and trading antique and custom made knives...I have many international customers. I recently sold a custom knife to a gentlemen in Croatia. He paid me via paypal my asking price minus the international postage which was approx. 80 dollars which was to be determined. He explained that he had bought numerous items from other sellers in the US and wanted to have them shipped to me so I could package everything up and ship them all at once. This was in July of 08. All of the items showed up and I boxed them up to be shipped and went to ups to get an estimate of the shipping costs...which was 80-100. I then sent him the amount via email which we had communicated half a dozen times on. I never heard back from him...I contacted paypal concerning the transaction and they could not provide me any additional contact info. I have sent 12 or more emails with no returning emails I also used his forum contact info by sending a private message still no response. It showed on the forum that he has not been on there since July...now it shows him as unregistered...I have close to 1500 worth of knives bought and paid for minus the 100 international postage. It has been almost 8 months. What are my options or next step to closing this deal?
Thanks
