Hi,

I was in search of a new dog and wanted a puppy but needed to get an adult because I needed it to be housebroken. I found one on Ebay, the lady said she was housebroken. When I get to her house an hour away, she tells me he has been "outside" the past couple days and then when I got home and told her he was already marking she said I may have to crate train him for a couple days. She said she would take the dog back but not give me my money back. The dog is clearly never been trained, I have done everything and I cannot keep him. I am wondering if I can sue her to give the dog back and give my money back on false terms she put in her ad.

There's no law preventing you from suing her.  We cannot know whether you'll be successful, given it may be hard to prove the purchase was conditioned on the dog being housetrained (assuming that was the deal).  You may want to try and get her (via email) to admit that she agreed to refund the money (you may not legally record a conversation with her in FL unless she knows it's being recorded).

Of course you can sue.  Did you really think you couldn't?
