My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: CA

I sold a pair of shoes on ebay for $250.00 + 15 for shipping to a buyer in IL. The buyer claimed I had disclosed the wrong size so I agreed to refund the shoes plus shipping. I refunded her the money before I got the shoes back. (My mistake) She was grateful, but did not return the shoes. I sent her multiple emails through ebay, to confirm her address so I can send an attached postage label to stick on the package. I got her contact information from ebay. Ebay or paypal could not reverse the refund.

She claimed to mail them without a tracking label. I know that sending items without a tracking number is no proof of mailing so I want to sue her in small claims court. She most likely won't show being that she is in IL., however my procedure would be as follows: 1) send a demand letter (assuming no response) 2) file for small claims court(most likely she won't show up and I will win by default. 3) file the the CA claim with IL courts and 4) send her the a notice of the winning judgement.

What court orders could a small claims judge sign? Can I garnish her pay checks, bank account, paypal account etc. CA small claims filing fee is 35.00 which I will add to the lawsuit. I only have her full name, address, and telephone number. She does sell online as well and has a 100% feedback.

Ebay said they would send her a warning, but that does not much for me.

Any information about this process would be useful.

thanks,
