What can you do now Make a complaint or book it as a lesson.
What punishment would there be if he was caught
That's why you don't send the money through friends and family, because then you have exactly no buyer protection. And the scammers want the money as a friend / family because otherwise they can't cheat.
Somehow that's not surprising, is it?
What would be the punishment if he is caught and is the chance high?
If it is his first fraud, probably a fine, if he does it for a more commercial purpose.
The whole thing is probably anonymous, so it is very unlikely that he will be caught. The amount of the penalty certainly depends on whether you are the only one who was betrayed or someone else.
And the question is whether it will do you any good, because if he has no money, you will still not get yours back, even if someone is caught.
You should still advertise.
But learn from it.
Ebay classifieds?
You have no handle. You have sent money to a stranger that you can't get back.
If you want to cheat, you certainly don't give your real data online. The money is gone.
With your payment via PayPal Family & Friends you have given us a gift of money and the probability of finding the recipient is almost zero.
And even if the perpetrator should be tracked down, you still have a long way to go to get your money back, because you can then claim or sue for it under civil law, cost risk with you.
And for next time:

No, that's a hard time. There's nothing you can do against it under criminal law. Even if you knew the perpetrator, you will have little chance with civil law suits.
I'm sorry.
He was not betrayed but plans to cheat others and wants to know if there are any consequences…

You can't know any more than I can. In any case, I'm only writing here as it is from a legal point of view, everyone has to know for themselves whether they are sending in good faith to friends and family and thus waiving the buyer protection.
