| Providing the seller is in a favorable jurisdiction, you probably have a binding contract of sale, particularly if you can prove you sent the money.
In the past I've successfully sued over a breach of contract of sale for a domain, in very similar circumstances to yours (although outside of eBay). Be aware it will easily cost mid $xx,xxx to get it through court. That said, I was awarded specific execution of the original contract and $100,000 in damages, so whilst I'd have prefered to avoid it altogether it was a profitable experience. I was also able to get an injunction preventing the sale of the domain until the court case was concluded, which I'd advise if you really want the name - it gets more complicated if there's another buyer involved. |
