Yes, they're legit. If they are an authorized dealer for certain guitar manufacturers, they are not allowed to sell stuff on eBay, and must sell under a different name, and your purchase, even if the guitar is new, will not be covered under the original owner's manufacturer's warranty.

Usually, if the model is followed by a lower case "e" it's an indication the electronics were installed aftermarket, but it depends on the person that places the ad. You have to ask the seller, unless they clarify that in their ad. It could be an active pickup with a preamp and controls on the guitar or a passive pickup (no controls on the guitar).
