It doesn't "sound" like these guys are in the business of ripping people off. It sounds like they put something up they either sold off locally or someone on their end screwed up. Either way, they need to own up to it and just return your money if they can't provide the product. With over 700 items sold, I can't believe they haven't done that already.
Sounds like you already made a good faith attempt at getting it resolved. Turn that info over to Paypal/Ebay and have them start investigating it. If you used a credit card, contact them and let them know that you never received the product you purchased.

Subject: DML: Ebay Deal Going Bad? Never Had This Happen Before
Ok, for some reason, I think this deal I completed on ebay on 1/31 is going
to go bad. I bought a pair of fender scoops for my '66 Olds 442 from a pretty
well known vendor in the Olds parts arena, and he has real good feedback
(99.3 positive with 700 items sold). Sent 3 emails with no reply. Called them
2/7 and got a "we'll call you back", with no call back, called 2/9 and got a
rather not so friendly guy that told me I can only deal with the person I
talked to. Called 2/12 and they admitted they messed up and promised parts by Fri
and obviously, I ain't got my parts still. Parts place is in Mo. Car is in
paint shop now waiting on these things, as other parts I've ordered from
around the country AFTER I've ordered the scoops have come in. I did pay with Pay
Pal, so how long should I wait until I make a move with them? These things
were not cheap ($250), so I'm a bit worried.
