The first one is by a trusted vendor of PC parts that has a legit intel card in it
The second is a complete no-name with a cover over top of the chip so you cant see it at all, AND seems to have the traces for the antennas integrated into the board which means it is not an intel chip and is probably not socketed (so thus removable) either.

Asking if you can trust ANYTHING on ebay is asking if you can trust the guy selling "used" electronics out of the back of his van. Naturally there are many legitimate vendors on ebay, but there are enough scam sellers that it makes every transaction a little risky.

In regards to that specific card, i thought it was pretty clear in my first post stating that when the pictures specifically do not show an intel chip in the card, that is highly suspicious from the get-go, compounded by the fact that it is a no-name ships direct from china product.
