Unfortunately, madhandles, I believe it's perfectly legal for them to make counterfeit coins - in China. It is, however, illegal to import fake coins into the US that aren't clearly marked as such, and it's against ebay policy to offer fakes for sale without describing them as fake.
Love his return policy - 5 days. What are the chances of shipping a coin from China, to the US (Or UK, Australia or anywhere else), get a second opinion on authenticity, be told it's fake, then send it back to China for him to receive it, all within 5 days?
Swamper: I don't know about the Chinese markets, but in Vietnam, many small-time sellers of coins (both fakes and real ones) do so in the open air - even through the monsoons. Natural weathering!
It's why all the Vietnamese cash coins you see for sale always seem to have a nice thick green colouration...
