I got some Dataram core memory modules for pdp8/a. One

Philipp,
Don't take this lying down. While I've personally had good luck with
ebay, there are those people who act less responsibly. I would first
contact the seller to see if you work out a deal. If they are
uncooperative, start filing "item not as described" complaints as
mentioned and do so with ebay and/or paypal.
If they don't find in your favor, I'd appeal as far as you can with
them. I'm assuming you have name/address of the seller (given to you
after the sale completed.) During this whole process you should be
documenting each step, when you did it, saving email transactions, etc.
In the end, IANAL but you can probably sue them. While I'm sure you
could sue them in their jurisdiction (which will probably require a
lawyer who has license to operate in that state), you should be able to
sue them in your area too. Using long arm statutes, I'd think you could
establish minimum contact with an ebay sale.
Last but not least, you should definitely tell us who this guy is so
that no one else gets screwed.
