Generally no - shipping the cards after partial payment has already been received is basically an extension of credit for the remaining balance and therefore civil and not criminal when the party reneges (think of it as breaking a business contract).

Certain states may have a legal variance on such situations and more details of the OP’s deal would help too.

Legally, there is no point on filing a civil suit against somebody across the country for $1600 unless somebody knows something that I dont know about legal costs.

Sounds like you have an issue with the buyer. Why not disclose the buyer so people here know to be careful if they ever come across him.

Quite a few years ago I thought taking a hot check for a business, which I sold to someone and took as payment, was criminal. It wasn't. I am obviously not a lawyer. Live and learn stuff.

Outing the buyer is always good unless there are extenuating circumastances .

Sounds like it is time for a little road trip! You probably won’t get your money, but you can at least make sure he has to spend it on new ankles.

That’s some tough luck,
