e transfers can be tracked down... BUT the problem with this is how do you PROVE that you never got the item.... Let me rephrase it.. How do you prove he never sent you the item... If you have emails and texts showing him delaying the shipment, good... BUT other than that it is your word against his... you can prove you paid him, but that is about it... It will be hard to prove a criminal offence (ie Fraud). Usually issues between a seller and buyer are better suited in civil court...

E transfters, Money Mart, etc are BAD ideas... those should only be used with family, friends, and during emergencies (with family and friends).... OP is a "victim", but people really need to be a lot more careful and use some common sense when it comes to money and personal information over the internet.
