If I were the buyer I'd file suit in my county small claims court for the cost of the mug plus court costs. It's likely that the seller wouldn't make an appearance, so a default judgment would be easy to obtain. I'd then either (1) retain an attorney in the the seller's state to file suit to enforce the default judgment, or more likely, (2) sell the right to collect on the judgment to a claims agency.

I had a bad expierience with somoeone on Ebay for 60 dollars, not alot of money, but more than I will usually spend on Ebay. They cashed my check, and ran...never got the lamp. I contacted the local authotities and they wouldn't do anything. They told me to contact the FBI. Which I did, but they did nothing, come on for 60 bucks who is gonna care. Ebay...did nothing, shame on them. Living across the country, there wasn't a whole lot I could do. I don't do the big ticket items on ebay because of this 1 bad deal.
