You are asking for a guess about how you get a refund as obviously no one here knows the details. However, sending a money for something you found online is rarely going to mean anything other than out of luck. As far as small claims, who would you sue and how would you collect? It is a $75 lesson.

You probably could sue, if you feel like flying to California. Realistically, your $75 is probably gone.

You have learned a valuable lesson. You never do mail or online orders with a money order. Always use a credit card, as you can do a chargeback if things go wrong. Never ever use moneu orders or checks.
