I am assuming you have his name and bank account number?
Contact the South Carolina State Attorney General and get the proper forms to start a formal complaint.
Secondly, I would call the police in the town of his address and ask them if this is considered a internet theft. If they agree, I would ask to file formal charges and have them make a visit to make contact with the individual.
I would also start getting paperwork together for private litigation and be ready to sue him civilly.
In the mean time, I would gather all communication that is pertinent to your transaction, ask the carrier (FedEx or US Mail) for a copy of the signature card. Moreover, since he is now banned, I would ask TRF for any information they can share on his whereabouts.
I am very sorry for your loss, this is a horrible time to be taken advantage of. I am not sure how to offer a solution to this, other than having a first selling transaction be less than "X" amount, and then be labeled as Level 1 seller, and offer different level's of sellers as reputation grows.
Wish it was in NC, I could pick up the phone and have a cruiser over at the house by noon.
best of luck,
Tom
