Hope you can get either your drive or money back, I know what it's like being ripped by people on Ebay (boogiegail 4000D motherboard). I feel it is happening more and more lately and even if someone has 100% rating as buyer/seller. I purchased a video card from an ebayer 8800GTX for 400.00 and never received it from the person after several emails and promises. The guy had 130 some purchases/sales and 100% rating then took a dive and ripped 4 others besides me for a total of about $2500.00. I did file a dispute with PayPal and recouped 200.00 from PayPal since there was 200.00 buyer protection on the sale. I don't know how you paid or if there was any buyer protection on the auction might be worth checking into.
Just wondering what type of drive you purchased from him?
Good luck
