you can't.
from one of the pictures, you can see that the rivets are notched, so it's not from s/s 05. it could be from f/w 05, but without paper tags, there's no way to know for sure.
it's authentic tho

I have an authentic notched rivet s/s 05 teal Day also.

I think this 05 rivet issue is good for pinpointing a date as being no later than s/s 05, if there is an unnotched rivet.

Hmmm. Just remembered. Another way to pinpoint a s/s 05 Day is that the front pocket is all cloth inside. Unfortunately from s/s 05 on, without the cards or reliable history...ITA with Nicole....no way to be sure of the season....

It looks good so far, but the seller says they will post more photos on eBay. That will help. Post the link again after they do that, for someone who is more familiar with this style to chime in.

I'm very sorry, your messager was correct, it is not authentic. There are several clear signs that it is a copy.
