Re: buying merchandise on the internet

I would say you had a completed purchase contract when you got the confirmation of sale, and agreed to the payment terms. If the seller refuses to honor the contract I suggest contacting the web site and issuing a complaint. If the site was like e-bay or something similar, while you might not have anything more than a right to sue the seller, the site host may prevent the seller from using the site again, and this might pressure the seller to honor your contract. This is a response to an Internet question and is not intended to be legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. Different or missing facts might produce a different response.
