I emailed the Illinois seller (296 positive feedbacks, 100%) thru the eBay ask a question service as follows:
Dear moldysoldies,The experts will tell you this is an obvious forgery. I hope you have no money invested. Perhaps your reputation is invested however.BOB http://www.highwaymen-buy-sell-trade.com/

We'll see what happens next, I guess.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.

There you have it. Someone with very little taste in art is now screwed out of $400.00.
I qualify that by stating, if this buyer really really loves the painting, then I'm sure they are happy to hang it and display it for all visitors to enjoy.
Howevah...........................
It's not like there aren't a thousand Harold Newton art images to look at and compare on the internet.

HOW CAN SOMEONE WITH EYES NOT SEE THE DIFFERENCE ? HOW ?

These things that happen just astonish me. A two dollar yard sale painting with a forged H Newton signature sells for $ 400.00.

America's Fence strikes again.
