There's a long technical definition for fraud in Ohio but basically it's a lie that costs you money. In a private sale the seller only has to speak the truth and not hide anything that they know the buyer would want to know about because that could be fraud. Depending on the price, if you can't get the seller to work this out with you then you may want to file a claim in your local small claims court, up to $3,000.
