    dont think there is anything you can do, as persons under the age of 16 cannot enter into legal binding contracts

    I know it is too late for this item but in future never send anything until you have been paid.

    Soo

    The buyer must have thought he was onto something when you didn't ask for payment before you sent them!
    What was the item number?
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    I dont think the OP sold it on Ebay, he is only 14yo and not old enough to sign up for Ebay.....

    Ahh gotcha. Just because I'd seen another thread where he went on about trying to sign up for ebay.

    So I just assumed....
