CeX is a publicity thirsty company, the way they jumped on this as an opportunity to promote themselves as the good guy doesn't surprise me at all. They are a loathsome company.
If he got double his money (in effect), then maybe he isn't so stupid after all.
Agreed, thanks to the way the media jumped on this (seriously, the way this was reported you'd think this was Ebay's personal fault and the guy had done something other than "says it's a photo but...seems legit *buy") Ebay's bias towards the buyer and CeX's relentless thirst for publicity in order to flog their shoddy wares, things seem to have turned out well for him. Stupidity and the inability to read are apparently something to be rewarded these days
