He appears to have used a real name. Even if he had hijacked someone's name just for this, or created a fake name and generated a full internet persona, seems like a lot of work for what is probably a $50 item.

He would claim the items never arrived and use Paypals "dispute" function. The problem with this is Paypal sides with the buyer 95% of the time. So he will get his money back and gets to keep the item he bought.
But as you said this actually appears genuine. But with the recent paypal scams it always makes people wary.
