I think the simplest way of weeding out fakes is to look at the position of the 1 in the date. It should be centered above the denticle (real one below).
VAMWorld says it more completely this way: "The date is positioned with the left edge of the base of the 1 over the right half of the third denticle from the point of the neck and the right edge of the base of the 1 is over the left half of the fifth denticle. (RH3 LH5)"

Sometimes it is more effective to use the "report item" link where counterfeit coin is the selected reason, which opens a dialogue box. Instead of trying to explain the circumstance, just post the URL of this thread. The drones at eBay should get the message loud and clear.

The last I saw, the 1893-s was up just above $45k and the 1885-CC was up to just over $1500.
Ebay seldom nukes reported items anymore.
