Why not buy one from the online Apple Store? They'll deliver it for you too!!
Should it be incompatible, faulty or broken, Apple will exchange it too!! It's just safer!

Besides, the image shown is the older version. Newer 85W version has a smaller, lighter brick.

You're right that the item on eBay is the older brick... I just replaced my power adapter a week ago and I love how much lighter it is.

I bought it at a local Apple store only because my old one was dead and I could not wait a week to get a cheaper one shipped. But, if you can wait a week or so, you also can find the new 85W on ebay for $50 or $60 (good savings).
 
Maybe he's scared of all the negative comments on the power adapters at the Apple Store website. I mean, it's insane with the comments.
