he get the money back finally. The last message of the victim:

Ok, some good news finally! After talking with ebay customer support the previous night and being told that they would not make a final decision just yet, I called back last night since I had not heard back. From what I was told, the previous rep closed out the case in the seller's favor (again, despite telling me that they would not make a decision that night and would also let me know the next day what the decision was...scumbags) but I actually had a nice conversation with another ebay rep last night named Tina who was able to help me. I have no idea why they finally reversed course after all of this, but regardless they did right by me and refunded my money. I am SO glad this ordeal is over. Thanks to all who helped me. I will not be buying games off ebay for a while...maybe after I lick my wounds I will check again but be more cautious this time for sure.

On my experience, paypal is always on the buyer side. You can use any excuse and paypal freeze the seller's account until the resolution.. of course if the seller is a scammer nice that they do this, but i lost precious games due this (and i can't do anything because the spanish laws)..

I'm glad he got his money back, but the way eBay handled this pisses me off to no end.

This isn't really true. But they DO put an immediate hold on the funds from that particular transaction while it's being resolved.  PayPal does side with the buyer about 99% of the time though, that is quite true. It's a headache when, as a seller, you've done all you can and the buyer is technically at fault :(
