I sold an item on cragslist. It was paid in person with a cashiers check. A cashiers check is guaranteed funds. However, I deposited the check and it came back stop payment. I can't get a hold of the person I sold the item to. I can see I was scammed, but is there anything that I can do? Be it through the bank where the check was drawn on or elsewhere. Or am I SOL? Help!

Post a very similar item using a different email address.
If someone emails you about it thats not the same guy tell them it has already been sold. See if the original guy emails you about it, then take action, have him meet you and have a cop waiting or take pictures of his car and license plate and stuff.
That guy needs to be stopped.

I'm afraid you just out that much money.
Once a stop payment is issued there's little the bank can or will do.
Lesson learned, make the pay cash in hand or use paypal and do not allow the item out of you possession until the payment is credited to your account.
Good luck

Maybe sol. Have you contacted craiglist for any info on the buyer or any recourse?
Bank can do nothing.
