I sold a broken laptop on eBay 12/12/06 asis for parts or repair. I received what I thought was a cashier's check for $325 on 12/18. He received the laptop 12/23, and sent a vulgar email saying that the laptop does not have a useable operating system. I replied, that it was being sold for parts, and no os was included. 12/29, I received a $20 fee from my bank on a returned personal check. He now has the money and the laptop. He is not willing to return the money and said he is only willing to return the laptop if I remove the negative feedback I left for him, pay for return shipping, and pay for his fees for stopping payment. After a month of arguing, I ultimately agreed to his request contingent with not having to pursue this legally. Now he's back to vulgarities and not willing to resolve amicably.
What legal recourse do I have, who can I contact, and what are the step in persuing this interstate fraud (I live in Illinois, he lives in Michigan)? What am I entitled to?
Please help!
