Did a quick search and found these:

1) Ask for pics of datecode ot at least the datecode to be sure"

2) I'm pretty sure it's real but kinda old:

Authentic men's wallets are super hard to find on Ebay. If you're looking just a basic wallet, you're better off getting it from Elux.

I just got ripped off $70 for a POS fake LV wallet, my fault, didn't do my homework, but am in the process of getting my money back. Anyways, I saw this forum and saw that this item was mentioned here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:L:RTQ:US:1
I am planning to purchase it and spend up to 200-250 if needed, but definitely need to confirm authenticity before making such a purchase. I e-mailed the seller asking about some sort of authenticity code inside the wallet and got this reply:

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYKIND OF #S PRINTED IN ANY LV ITEMS.....ONLY FAKES. ALTHO, I WAS IN A LV SHOP A COUPLE WEEKS AGO IN FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD THERE THAT SOMETIMES CODE DATES ARE STAMPED INSIDE, BUT ALWAYS HARD TO FIND...NEVER RIGHT INSIDE AND EASY TO SEE. THE GIRL COULDN'T EVEN FIND ONE!I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY SUCH STAMP WERE YOU CAN SEE IT ON THIS WALLET. I'M SORRY I AM SELLING A WALLET THAT I PERSONALLY BOUGHT AT SACKS AND KNOW THAT IT IS REAL. I DONOT GIVE A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE BECAUSE IT BECOMES A BIG HASSEL. DAVE

I am not sure whether the item is authentic and ask anyone to take a look ,read the description, and give me any tips, advice, or questions to ask the seller. Thank you for all your help.
