I assumed it would be an unpaid bidder given the recent issues on getting paid for these high-profile auctions, but the article says

I bet eBay was happy with their cut on this auction if the payment is successful. If I'd ran the world's laughingstock of a festival I'd be happy for $5 branding rights, this guy has more luck than he deserves.
