Anthony, IF we are following the CAS Number, then, this ebay product is definitely not the one specified within the 60950-1 Standard.
As per cas.org, a CAS Nr: - Is a unique numeric identifier - Designates only one substance - Has no chemical significance - Is a link to a wealth of information about a specific chemical substance 60950 specifies clearly CAS Nr. 110-54-3; According to the required and specified spec, it is not sufficient to use any n-hexane. IF we would like to test with any n-hexane then we do not need any Standard, and as Rich specified, there will be no precision nor accuracy involved regarding this test. Cheap stuff, similar results: inconclusive.
