Jay,
Couple of options, your COA may include breach of contract, fraudulent conversion, wire fraud, and if it was shipped via the US Mail, then you have mail fraud. But most of these you would need to show intent.
You would need a PayPal and Ebay history on the buyer.
Since it was an "e-check" I am not sure if an unlawful stop payment order is a COA. Since it was an electronic transaction, UCC may not apply but Regulation E would.
The courts swing both ways when it comes to jurisdictional matters. Look up the stop payment laws in your state and the state of the buyer, if different than yours.
I would file a police report for theft or grand theft (value?) in both your community and that of the buyer. Further, if it was shipped via the US Mail, then file a report with the Postmaster General in your community.
Before doing that, write both CMRRR and non-CMRRR the buyer. Inform the buyer you fully intend to take this to it logical conclusion. Since most of this would federal, the buyer is looking at numerous felonies and possible time in club fed.
