Preprint is actually a term used in scientific and advertising circles to refer to an early release of a document prior to final publication. I don't see how that can be applied in this situation.
It seems to me that these sales are designed to entice the unwary and you could try raising a complaint with eBay though I suspect that they've had the same complaint a thousand times before.
The COA merely proves that the signature belongs to the named person rather than being a forgery. As such it does not relate to the fact that this is a reproduction of an original photograph with said signature.
What they will argue is that you purchased a print of a signed photograph rather than a signed photograph or even a signd print of a photograph.
Apart from learning the lesson of never buying crap like this from eBay I'd say that the biggest clue was in the postage. High postage on low priced items is a common trick for dodgy sellers because even if they refund the sale price you only get the penny that you paid for the item.
