Well, I got two duplicate parts, so now I can't fix what I want to fix.
He was all like, "sorry, but we ran out of these sets of items. They're out of stock. I asked our supplier and they said there is nothing they can do." Then I went back to the eBay page where he was selling that set of items and of course, it showed "more than 10 available." I even added those items to my cart to see what would happen. Sure enough, it gave me the option to buy them again. (I didn't buy them, though. I'm not doing it from this douche.)
Either he didn't update his eBay page with how many items he has left in stock, or he's lying. He didn't even offer me a partial refund for the missing items. So I think he's lying. He probably thinks I'm a liar, too. But why would I lie over a set of $10 items? All I wanted was the pieces that were missing. Pisses me off.

Take a picture (ideally with duplicate items side by side so it's super-obvious) open a claim under "item not as described" and you should be able to get this sorted in short order. There's not much legitimate case for him if the picture clearly shows duplication, while the description claims all are different. Your money should be refunded whether he thinks so or not, given the circumstances.
Sorry you have to deal with it at all though.
