Well, let's see whether you can clarify whether the goods you sent via USPS were actually received by the individual who was apparently suppose to reciprocate by sending you his goods. What evidence do you have that this person (or persons) actually received your goods.?

If your evidence is solid that he received them but he continues to refuse

to pay you (whether it be in barter or money), then you will likely be faced with filing a lawsuit against this individual to recover either the goods you sent or a judgment for their value.

However, if the goods never arrived at their designated destination, then your remedy may lie with the USPS, particularly, if these goods were insured.
