I've been seeing a lot of them on eBay lately, but I don't think they are authentic USPS postmarks. Can anyone confirm or provide more information please? eBay lot 190796963746 shows an example. Thank you.

I have seen many of them and also got it on my own covers back in 2004. On this type of covers, the stamp and then the postmarker are, by the way, the first things to be applied. The silk cachet is then applied by the cover manufacturer thereafter.
