I contacted the dealer through their ebay site and told them of the issue and that I would send them all documentatation on the gloves to them. They said they didn't remember ever selling me any gloves in the past. I did find all the papework including the credit card receipt that was used in the purchase as well as the LOA's, etc. Their address is even the same on all the paperwork too. I sent the paperwork via USPS and they did sign for the envelope. I have tried to contact them about 15 times since and they will not respond to my inquiries. Where do I go from here? I have left the dealers name out of the conversation here, but will be willing to name them if they don't at least respond soon. JW

Is the dealer a member of UACC?
If so you can file a complaint with them.
If not, then I suggest you send them one more registered letter stating that you will be forced to legal recourse if they don't acknowledge the sale.
Then either see an attorney or go to the local law enforcement in the dealer's city.
