An alternative is to reject the credit card payment.
Send a registered letter to the credit card company
(or did you use your bank account? uh-oh if you did)
and tell them the story and they should return the
payment.
If you used your bank account...well...uh, hmmm, I
would get as much information about this guy and file
a claims in your locak small claims court. Since the
device was delivered to your state, it is his
responsibility to appear in a court that is convenient
to you. If he doesn't show, then he defaults and is
guilty. When the judgement is rendered, issue an
arrest warrent in his town through either a magistrate
or local police and when they haul him in...well, see
what you can get then...
I don't know the details, but I've done this before,
but against a company...
good luck..
