I'm certainly no expert... but that bass looks like it has a pretty new finish on it. And while there are a lot of what look like repairs outside, the shot through the f-hole shows no difference between the wood under the torn label and that surrounding it- and all the wood looks new and unoxidized.

i think i know this ebay seller. he sells often interesting looking old basses (and other string instruments), with imho faked labels and always the same story of the widow of the former owner, who gave him the bass after the owner died....
on the one hand he writes he´s a complete layman, on the other hand he uses correct luthier-terminology, thats not really kosher i think
i would only bid for what i see, not for what he writes
