Re: fraud from ebay seller

If the police and eBay don't help you, you could sue the seller. If you were local, you could sue in small claims court and handle it yourself. You could file and serve all the papers in Small Claims court by mail, and come to town for the day of trial. You could hire an attorney to sue in Superior Court, but the attorney fees would reduce your recovery. You could 'assign your claim' to someone local who could sue in small claims court and 'share' the recovery with you.
