If you went through a market place like Gumroad or Leanpub they have policies and you should be able to get your money back. You could always name and shame them if they are really refusing to speak to you and refusing to fulfill their obligation in the business arrangement. Obviously this option should be considered only if there is no other recourse.

You might be doing others a favor in avoiding purchasing books from this individual in the future.

Also I would say get your credit card company, PayPal or however you purchased the book as this is fraudulent behavior.

Unfortunately I did not purchase through a marketplace, back then I think they were less of a standard.

Thanks for your opinion! I will consider "shaming" him if he keeps ignoring me for another 2 weeks and report him to paypal.
