Contact your bank and dispute the charge to your bank account/credit card. Had this happen to me when using PP and my bank credited my account after I wrote them a letter explaining what happened. They inturn went after PP to recoupe thier money.

I remember that auction, I was watching it because I too wanted a drive (just 1) The history for this person seemed sketchy with no transactions since 2004. I assumed it was a hijacked identity. Unfortunately for you it seems I was right. Get in touch with your CC Co. They should be able to help you out.
