I guess we will see how this plays out in the coming few days, im contacting my VISA card as we speak. Thanks for all the information guys, I will keep posted with updates in the coming days. I would love to meet this guy face to face and just ask him how he sleeps at night...I feel dumb I fell for such a scam.

Don't worry about it we all fall for too good to be true things now and then. I think people were giving you a hard time because if you would have posted this before sending the money there is no question you wouldn't have to do all this. But as others say, live and learn. I wouldn't feel too dumb over $400, if you had signed over your house, then you might have problem.
If anything you taught some others on this board an important lesson for their internet purchases. Personally now I usually only buy something on the internet if it is less than $200 or so, then if you get scammed it's no big loss.
Hopefully everything works out for the best. I would also contact your bank just to let them know so they don't do something stupid and think you want it out of your savings or something. Banks and credit card companies deal with this everyday so their advice is important as well.
