Depends:
1. Did you send money via PayPal as a payment for goods (NOT as a gift)?
2. What exactly did the original sale post say?
3. Did you write any notes in the PayPal payment to the guy?

This is why I always use PayPal and pay for stuff as goods and services. Also always leave a note in the payment describing what you expect to be receiving "Genuine, working, used unichip for FRS"

If you can prove that the seller sold the unichip under the pretenses that it was fully functional, and you didnt send money as a gift, then you can just open dispute with PayPal and get your money back. Doesn't matter if he has a $0 balance in PayPal, you will get your money back and his balance will go into the negatives.
