This is what the seller told me about the history of this autograph: 

I collect everything related to Paul McCartney. I also bought this autograph on ebay in 2015. When I received it, I had no doubt about its authenticity. It is a pity to part with it, but, unfortunately, it took money ... The previous owner said that she worked as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant in America (unfortunately I do not remember which city) and received this autograph when Paul visited this restaurant. That's all what I know.

Does anyone know if this autograph was really sold on Ebay in 2015?

One more important thing: look at his other items for sale. He has serious McCartney items like: Back To The Egg picture disc etc.

I asked the seller if he knows from what year is the autograph, he answered now:

As far as I remember, an autograph was given on a 2005 tour.

 Be careful that you haven't bought a high quality copy as sometimes expensive framing hides the truth.  Russia does raise some red flags as well as the low price.

But this isn't an expensive framig. Actually, it's a cheap one. The seller told me that he put the autograph into the framing by himself. But you are right, it might be a very good copy. I will know when I hold it in my hand. Only then I will see if it's live ink or not

The small image linked shows a vertical fold (or toning?) apparently missing on your item.

I thought that might be a shadow.

Hi Daniel, 

I'm afraid it's a copy. I am familiar with printing technology. I didn't enlarge the picture much, but you can already see the color pencils alongside the signature. These splashes can only be seen next to the print (letters), but not on the sheet.
