I'm at my witt's end.
I purchased some Sega Saturn games from eBay(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27246&item=3050197232) and sent a money order to the person i won them from. He sent me the one email telling me where to send the money, but never any more. at this point it's obvious that he ripped me off, but eBay and SquareTrade both sent me emails saying he wasn't responding to their email, and there's nothing else they can do.
I sent away for a stop payment on the 7th of Nov. but this guy was allowed to cash the MO on the 13th of Nov. I called Western Union to see why that happened and they told me that it takes awhile for the stop payment to be processed. So they sent me a photo copy of the cashed MO. I filed a complaint at the Internet Fraud Complaint Center from fbi.gov, but there's a portion on there saying "do not include money orders or wire transfers" so i have a feeling they won't help me either.
From the personal information i got from eBay i found the guy's phone number, but he doesn't answer when i call. I know it's not a dead line because it's been busy a few times. He lives in St. Charles MO, and i live all the way in Arizona so there's no chance of a personal visit.
What would you do?
