Can I take someone from ebay to court?
2 Answers
Thank you for looking. A while ago I purchased a cell phone from somebody on ebay. I paid them through paypal, and was suppose to recieve the phone. As you may have already guessed the phone never arrived. I notified paypal who is the company I used to pay him with and they decided in my favor but were only able to recover $2.00 out of $265.00. My question is can i take this person to court and demand my money back even if they live in a different state? Please respond. Thank you

I don't know if something similar exists in the US - or if it varies between states as you suggest.
To be honest though many people would not think it worth the bother of a court case for a sum that small.
Another thought - can your credit card company help - assuming you paid paypal through them? Not sure how an indirect payment like that would work.
