I have recently experienced a fraudulent transaction with the e-store of a community member. I purchased about $130.00 worth of merchandising over two months ago. When the order had not arrived after three weeks, I tried e-mailing the seller, and then calling him on the phone. I only got vague promises that he would "look into it". More time passed, and now he won´t take my phone calls or respond to my e-mails. What action should I take? Thank you.

Geoff means contact your card issuer. Even if it is a debit you may have online protection.

I find it quite amusing how most of the topics on this forum are "CUSTOMER DID A CHARGEBACK AND STOLE MY GOODS" and here we have "get your card issuer to do a chargeback".
osCommerce is GREAT. When it works...

if sent without tracking number, it might be lost indeed in the mail/post, however the vague responses from the store owner make me doubt that...

do a who is on the shops domain, then contact the autorities of the country the website is in and if owner lives in a different country contact authorities there too might as well contact his/her hosting company and report it
