Well that looks practically nothing like the piece on ebay, even given the fact that the scale is clearly far larger in that image. The brain-like schreibersite in the ebay auction is a fairly uncommon occurrence in irons, and I see no similar inclusions in that large section. Also, the pattern in the ebay piece seems much more regular and is better defined. While the ebay specimen certainly doesn't resemble any common irons on the market (Gibeon, CD, Campo, Tres Castillos, etc.), it does not appear to be a piece of the pictured iron. What say you lot?
