It's impossible to say the specs on paper seem right but they could always just slap a cooler on an older generation card as many have purchase just to see.

At this price point you would find better hardware when looking for used rather than new. Not only that, VGA is pretty much non-existent on graphics cards nowadays, so it's very likely this card is an older generation Nvidia card flashed to seem like a GT1030.

i don't remember ever seeing a VGA connector on a GT 1030 before(or any pascal card), probably just a scam.

unfortunately theres a lot of fake gpu's being sold on ebay. I think they are bios flashed or some tomfoolery making them read as if they are something they are not but clearly dont have the same hardware. LTT did a video on buying some (sorta sketchy) video cards off of aliexpress which turned out very well, not sure if that would be an option for you, but i also agree with @sergifq in just playing it safe and buying from a more reputable source for a bit more.
