For the OP's coin, I see nothing but Machine Doubling.
You have to be careful using ebay links when trying to confirm the existence of an RPM or doubled die. That seller has horribly misattributed the coin and seems to think that a doubled mintmark equals a double die[sic]. Mintmarks will only be affected by a doubled die after 1989 when the hand-punching of the mintmark stopped and it became part of the hub design. However, there is no doubling of any type visible in those photos, not even Machine Doubling, so I have no idea what kind of imaginary fairy dust the seller was smoking when he came up with that auction
