A contract over a nominal amount ($100 ??) is suppose to be in writing to be binding. I wonder if Email constitutes "in writing"? There are no signatures and you cannot verify that the other person is who they say they are. The money is the consideration for the contract; so if he refuses to accept the payment, there might be no contract. I would wait to see if you get your money back before passing judgement.
