Legal Question in Technology Law in Georgia

I play on online game and had a guy purchase some game related objects from me. His payments were sent to me via Paypal and about a month and a half to two months later the payments were reported as fraud and the money was removed from my account and put me at a negative balance. I've tried to make contact with him through online messaging, texting, and phone calls without any reply. Is there any legal action I can take to obtain the money owed to me?

Sure you can try to sue. How are you going to sue someone from you only know through the internet? What is his name and address (his REAL one)? Are you going to get a lawyer in another state to find him, serve him and sue? If you get a judgment, where are his bank accounts and assets? This was the risk you took.

If you have his real name and real address, and are willing to go to the time and expense of suing him wherever he is, you can try. Bear in mind that you may or may not win, that a simple lawsuit could cost thousands of dollars, and that even if you win you may or may not collect.
