How did you pay for the EBay transaction? You may have recourse as far as returning it for credit since he/she didn't supply the required additional info (vin) to make the ECM workable.
If bought by credit card, you may be able to reverse the charge since you recieved a useless product. Paypal may also have an arbitration program as does EBay.
You're still needing a viable PCM from a valid wreck or you're going to have to go reman or new....ouch!

Call a locksmith and have them come out and reprogram your key.
