i bought my Babylone tote on ebay and it was reaaaaaally easy to tell those fakes from the real ones. in fact, i'd venture to say that at any one time, there are probably more real Babylones on ebay than fake ones because it's not an overly popular style. that being said, i LOVE mine and get lots of compliments on it. it looks fairly compact for a tote on the outside, but i can fit a ton of stuff inside and carry it comfortable with no problem. might want to check it out!
