I'm pretty skeptical about this granted that I have been tricked by ebay sellers before. please let me know what you think

I, for one, wouldn't buy it. First, you don't know from where the seller is based or shipping. Second, grammar and spelling errors in the description are always cause for doubt, especially given the massive amount present in that one. Third, those pictures could have come from anywhere--and the size in the photo doesn't match the one for sale. Fourth, unlike eBay, you're not able to ask the seller any questions to verify the authenticity. Fifth and finally, the price is too good to be true at this point in the season, particularly for a player jersey.

Also, notice that nowhere in the product description does it actually say that the jersey is a Nike product. That's usually a dead giveaway.

It's not hard to tell it's a fake, especially looking at pictures like these.

They do have a contact number posted at the bottom of this page (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/at-a-glance.html?ie=UTF8&seller=A2610C12XSVK0S) though, in case you want to call them up for any reason.

FAKE: Lettering is totally crap
FAKE: Number is too thick
FAKE: Arsenal badge on shorts is tiny
FAKE: Arsenal wear RED numbers on their home shorts, not white
FAKE: Badge on jersey is off-colour, poorly made and the lines are wonky
FAKE: Nike jerseys do not feature a traditional stitched label, they only have a heat-pressed logo
FAKE: The swoosh on the size information is crap
FAKE: FAPL badges are heat-pressed lextra, not stitched crap
FAKE: “Gunners” logo on collar is poorly made and bent
FAKE: The Nike Fit black logo in the bottom right hand corner of the shirt is completely wrong.
…so that’s a no :)

Tut, if you are going to make a rip-off shirt you could at least TRY and get some of the details right! Hahaha! Steer well clear my friend! :p
