There are many motherboard revisions for the PS3 controllers, and there's a Wiki page somewhere that you can use to compare the insides as each is different from the other, unlike PS2 controllers. The fake controllers can imitate the outside pretty well of a genuine OEM ones, and you'll have a hard time comparing, you need to get either high quality pics from the seller of the controller, to see if the imperfections show if it is a fake, or inspect it physically clicking the L3/R3 if it makes a loud sound...etc If you test it with your PS3, use Sixaxis supported game like Journey to test if the motion control work, if not then it's definitely a fake.

So fake controllers aren't recommended for ps3?
The fake ones have 3 problems:
(1) They are not durable.
(2) Some of them do not have Sixaxis.
(3) Some do not have pressure sensitive buttons.
