had the same thing happen to me on a different site, I spoke to 2 different lawyers and they both said I’m better off to write it off as a loss because of the time and effort it will cost to try to do something about it and the likely hood of something happening isn’t that good. If it was for thousands of dollars that would be a different store but for $900 it’s just not worth it. The guy I delt with took me for $700 than to top it off I got a letter from his lawyer for a public slander issue on a website because I slammed him on that message bored it’s just funny how our system works.
NOOO WAAAY would I just write off $700. Not a Chance. That's a chunk of money to me.
The sad (but true) reality though, is that in todays world it can end up costing you thousands to collect that $700.
