    Something serious?
    There is nothing you can do, for a service online. You're just screwed.
    Fortunately, it's only 5 bucks...
    Let me give a free gift to compensate your lost: 800 Logos
    Would you like that?

    $5 is not a biggy.. but if you really want to take action:

    file a complaint via paypal if you paid through paypal..

    Do nothing.

    It would cost me more to spend trying to claim it back. pf

    If he is a user of this forum then report him to the mods as if it has been done to you then it will most probably be done to others. $5 is not much, but it all adds up.

    File a claim with paypal so the 5 bucks can be placed on hold and as the user mentioned above, deal with trustworthy people.

    Ah then I understand why you got scammed. What you need to do is to post who that person is so others can be wary.

    You can contest with PayPal, despite it being a service.

    If the service was never delivered, it will take you a couple of clicks, and record of your e-mail communications with the other party.
