The signature looks real to me, but I would like a second opinion.
The only things that draw alarms for me is white on black - most ones of Elton signatures of Elton on this are black sharpie on black sharpie.
The seller seems odd. In the ebay description, they claim to be an 81 year old individual selling their sons items, new ebay account. It is possible the information in the account could be a ruse so that they are not held accountable for delays in getting to the post office in time, but the signature could still be real. In my opinion it does look authentic, but I would like second opinions. I may consider trying one of the online verification services from PSA if it is recommended (I have never done so).
They are selling other signed items:

Any other thoughts?
I notice seller claims it has a COA from Antiquities of California, which this board seems to think is mostly forgeries, so it is possible the seller was duped there. I notice also that Antiquities of CA has a very similarly signed Elton John LP on their site:
http://www.antiquitiesca.com/elton-john-signed-debut-album/
The signature on the record above looks pretty similar to an examplar of one (of many) I got signed in person, though that does not mean anything necessarily as it could be forged by a skilled hand.
My thought is to not pay on this auction as I believe it is likely forged, unless others feel it is real. I was not aware of this before doing research on the Antiquities of California mentioned in the listing.
I would not buy. I looked at the Morgan Freeman,Keaton cast poster. Did it say it sold for 20 bucks? Ha Ha.
