It's hard to tell on eBay as the information you see is only what the seller wants you to see, or what he knows. Most copies are from China, where manufacturers aren't breaking any laws by naming a phone star-9005 N3, and re-sellers have no qualms about failing to describe phones properly. It's the usual rules, though; buy from someone with a very high rep, preferably from the UK (in your case) or EU, contact them via eBay for written verification that it is a genuine Note 3, and if it seems to good to be true then it probably is.
