Just gonna try and clean this up a bit as there are lots of strange replies.

The picture on Ebay does show the video slot interface is missing and with a description that small you really should take the picture the description. (if the picture is wrong and there isnt anything in the description to say you can get a refund simply for that most times)

The actual scan doubler is still on your card, what you have lost is the video slot edge connector which ment to be detachable (you break or cut it off) for use in the Amiga 2000's.

a replacement circuit board could be made although finding a cheap dead Picasso IV would be quicker, place a wanted on amibench for just the edge connector piece.
You could try soldering wires between the video slot and the card but I wouldnt recommend it as A: the chips on the edge connector board are probably buffers so you would be running it un-buffered and B: its a nasty hack.

he is saying the Picasso IV will work without the scan doubler, which is true, however as you say, it should have come with the edge connector or the description should have said otherwise, as it is a standard piece of kit on the Picasso IV.
One question, how did you pay for it? if its through paypal place a complaint and then e-mail him simply saying you want your money back and are happy to send the card back to him
