There are many aspects that I agree with on this. (And since one of my classes this semester is entitled 'Legal Environment' - largely focused on business, this post really interested me).
Here is what I see:
1) The seller represented the item as authentic in his original description. You bid on it, under the assumption that the description was correct. Should it turn out to be fake, at this point you would have good recourse.
2) You asked the important questions after you had won the bidding on the item. This, however, may prove to be detrimental to your case. If I were the judge/mediator, I would ask why you didn't ask the question prior to being committed to the item? That is what eBay's message service is for, correct?
3) Judging by the response you received from the seller when you did in fact ask him about the items legitimacy, I would say that he indeed had it appraised (by a younger person), and similar to what you see on the show Pawn Stars, etc., was offended by what was learned. He found out it was a fake, and was a little upset with the appraiser. He got duped by someone else, and it sounds to me that he is passing it on to the next highest bidder.
Now this is just me reading into it, and hopefully the item is authentic. Best thing to do, is have it appraised immediately, then go from there. You may have some recourse, as I am no legal expert, nor do I work for eBay's claim department. One of my courses this semester just happens to involve legal matters, which is my entire reason for commenting. I hope everything works out for the best, and you strike it rich!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
