Legal Question in International Law in Tennessee

International trade

I sold a car for a client in the US to a buyer in France, the seller backed out of the deal, but the buyer wired the money into my account, I had some charges go through my account and took some of the buyers money, now I don't have the resources to pay it back. Is there a law against this practice for international trade?

Re: International trade

What you describe is probably going to fall under criminal laws of your state and civil laws of your state and possibly the buyer's country, unless you have a contract applying other laws. Words like fraud and theft come to mind; so I suggest you get the buyer their money back.
