Yeah if the nib says 'Iridium' anywhere it's a fake, as far as I know. The shape is also off, particularly the nib, the gold ring on the section, and the shape of the clip and snowcap finial.
Sellers aren't allowed to sell counterfeits, and especially not to pass them off as real. First contact the seller, and if he doesn't give you full refund and an apology, you should report him and the sale. Ebay has its own guarantee so they will refund your money in any case, but whether or not the seller will be punished is the only variable. Advice for future purchases: check feedback of course, looking for a seller with a high score and a history of selling Montblancs.

Avoid anyone who says 'I don't know a lot about these pens, but I think it is a real Montblanc 144.' It just means they are trying to establish plausible deniability. Also, search Google images for Montblanc 144s, study their shapes, and it's pretty easy to get good at spotting fakes right away. Easiest things to spot are: poorly made or incorrect nibs, the shape of the gold ring near the nib, and the contours of the cap and emblem top cap. Can anyone describe what is off about the gold ring/snow cap on cap top? Then I can look at the pictures on Google in a critical way, since there's no way to know whether any of the pictures are fakes as well.
Rather than describe, look at pictures of real ones and compare to the OP's pictures. Easiest way to do that is to Google 'montblanc 144' and then look at the images. As you drag your cursor over each pic you'll see where the pic is from. A large number of them will be from FPN. Click on those and it should take you to the thread where that pen is being discussed. Compare to the OP's pen. Look at the contour of the ring.
Look at the way the nib sits in the section. Look at the shape of the cap top and how the snowcap 'fits'. Like the bank tellers, don't learn the counterfeits, learn the real thing, then the fakes stick out. Edited by BillH, 09 May 2017 - 22:04.
