Ebay has become a mecca for fake items, I've read estimates of up to 90% of North Face jackets being fake, especially the "Buy It Now" listings. Being this is from China and dirt cheap I wouldn't go near it. Better to try and catch sales and clearances with Sierra Trading, Backcountry,etc. You'll pay more but you'll know what you are getting and have the refund/exchange option. My 2 cents.
