Legal Question in Consumer Law in Canada

Ebay purchase gone wrong

I won an ebay auction for a camera from a seller in Ontario Canada. Seller insisted on payment by Western Union. Seller was paid $3100. It has been a month and the camera has not been received. Seller says he dosen't care. Can I lodge a complaint with authorities in Ontario? Which ones. Is there anything else I can do.
