i've been there, done that and succeeded in getting my money back.
next time, think a little before you pretend to run your mouth about things you know nothing about.
gobigtime, i'd suggest calling him first and discussing the matter with him. leave him a message if he's not home. advise him that if the merchandise isn't shipped within X amount of days with a tracking number as proof, you will exploit all your available options, including a paypal chargeback, an ebay fraud complaint, a call to his police department and a fraud report with the fbi. tell his machine if he isn't home.
most people will cough up the merchandise right away and give you a tracking number, or they'll refund you. if they don't, then exploit your options, one by one. start with the ones that have the least possible consequences to you (ie: contacting his police department)

Wrong, it's only fraud if you can PROVE in court that the person deliberatly set out to decive you and never intended to pay for the goods, or was running a scam of some kind.
As this issue stands the person has just not fulfilled their side of the contract.
