That's why you use paypal or a USPS money order. Paypal you can always get your money back. A USPS money order has both names, both addresses, and and what it's for. So only the person with the name on it can cash it with proper ID... So if they do screw, you have a leg to stand on. I would take it to a small claims court. I would take somebody to court if they ripped me off for a couple hundred dollars. Sorry it happened to you man, sucks!
