You got scammed. It is just like all the scam car ads which say "2006 Nissan Murano for $7600", then when you ask they reply "I am located in Nova Scotia (or Ontario, Quebec) and I just got a divorce (or some other lame answer) and I need the money right away, we can do this by paypal, etc. etc.".
So hard to trust anything on the internet anymore, but as a general rule, if it seems too good to be true IT ALWAYS IS!!
I am sure you'll get your money back, I hope anyways.
P.S. If you have his actual name and address, etc, contact local police. That helps from further incidents.
