“
Thanks for the replies - it was an eBay sale but as the seller has cancelled and is now not replying I am going to chalk this one down to experience and move on.
It is so frustrating that some sellers just think they can do what the hell they want but there is not much I can do!
Thanks again.

I'd probably give Ebay a try. Certainly report the seller but send them a couple of complaints letting them know you were out of pocket and by how much. Follow it up with them on Twitter and see what happens. They have been known to give payments in similar situations, albeit unlikely.
As for going to court, this may be a clear cut case (it might not). Whenever going to court the first question you should consider is how easy it will be to get the person/company you are taking to pay up. If they are dishonest and/or skint there's little chance of getting a settlement. The second question should be to ask if you'd win the case. There's no point in spending money on a court claim just to prove a point, court is to get your money back. If you don't think that can happen then it's a waste of time and money.
