Ask the vendor for a close-up shot of the undercollar and the back of one of the buttonholes.

I'll take close ups when I get the suit. How can I tell if it's real?

 

[Despos]

It is.
Those are their signature lapels, buttons and there is no pipe above the pocket flap. Those are all trademarks of an Oxxford jacket.

Are there a lot of fake Oxxfords on Ebay? Based on the seller's FB, its probably real. I imagine its hard to pass a fake Oxxford off. If someone receives a fake and still does not know probably should not be wearing it in the first place.

I'm new to this whole thing, so I could easily be wearing a fake and not know it probably.

Oxxford lacks the eBay name recognition/resale value to make it worthwhile to fake. I can't think of another high-end brand that holds its value as poorly on eBay. NWT ones can command a good sum, but there's usually little secondary market for them.

Counterfeiters are better off sticking to Zegna and the like.

Part of my issue with Oxxford from EBay is exactly that the label hasn't really changed over the years, thus making it difficult to place an age on the products.

As an example, I saw two nice things in my size recently, but when I did a search on the stores (noted below the "Oxxford" on the label), one had closed in 1986 and one in 1992.

I'm pretty sure you'll find yours to be authentic, and hopefully recent vintage!
