Suppose a person was to consider buying this key date Barber Quarter.
Just by using Ebay seller "professional" pictures, what would your concerns be other than the one stated flaw (an obverse scratch). I've got a few issues in mind, but would like to hear from others.

and even if it is real...
2. The toning is ugly.
3. It doesn't appear to be an XF
4. It should be in an NCS or Genuine holder
Here's the reverse of a PCGS certified 1896-S:
Parts of the surface also seem porous. Maybe the coin has been plated (like electro-plated) and then worn?? It's hard to say. Do you think?
Steve, that's a beautiful 96-S.

Shipping is ridiculous: $18 plus insurance?

The MM looks like a 5 instead of an S.
It could have been a hit on the MM causing
the top to flatten out. If I found it in a dealer's
junk-box, I'd pay melt value for it; its worth
sending it in for a Genuine holder. It certainly
isn't worth what its selling for now though...
especially raw.

The only area where I might disagree is the shipping charge. Have you sent anything registered and insured lately? The cost of that service is headed toward the moon. Then when you add the shipping box and the drive to the post office, shpping has become quite expensive.
