FIRST, request his contact information, which will give you his phone number. Then, contact him by email THROUGH eBay, which gives them a copy of the email ... and politely list all of the deficiencies, and request all of your money back, including ALL shipping charges! If no response, PROCEED with ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

File a claim with eBay on their 'buyer's insurance' of the 'Fraud Protection Program' and tell them that the carbs are not usable and were fraudulently represented as in working condition ... which they clearly AREN'T! Contact eBay and go through every step to report the fraud!

Legal System recourse:

1. If you paid by Postal Money Order, contact your Postmaster and file a complaint!

2. If within your state, contact ther state attorney general!

3. If outside your own state, contact the FBI!

4. Contact HIS local Sherrif's department and see if they would like to have a talk with him about interstate fraud complaint!

At some point, as all of the above settles in with a bit of weight ... you MAY get all of your money back!

If you paid through one of the credit card methods, contact your credit card company in writing, by snail mail, the way they always want it done, and report fraud, and an unusable product received. They will eventually credit your account, though it msy take 60 days or so. Be sure to save and print out copies of the eBay ad, before it disappears! And, save all correspondence with the jerk and all parties reported to in the whole process.
