Here are a couple of past auctions by the same seller which tell the story pretty well...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110025867230

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110033289817

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110034385469
(One of the worst! Some one really got taken on a low-grade black freshwater necklace. This one is serious fraud).

(pic is bad, but sure looks like a cfwp necklace)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110037860955
(Another serious fraudulent case. Over $1000 for another low-grade freshwater)

Not only would I say that the bracelet is not natural in the first mentioned auction, this pattern of deception and fraud cannot be accidental. I would really like to hear what that gem lab says.

Sorry, even with 100% positive feedback rating, birdman993 appears to be nothing more than a thief - at least as his pearl auctions are concerned. Some poor winners were really taken to the cleaners.

Again, I would love to hear what he has to say about this, but have we ever, even once had a dishonest eBay seller come here to defend their actions, I mean auctions?
