The one in the link is the chaser in the series, but the regular pin does have colored in goggles.Looks like the color on the goggles is wrong too? The above link to the sale shows all gold goggles.

I looked it up on Ebay, and the seller's other auctions are the counterfeit DSF Jessica decades. There's a note on Pinpics that one person is selling those under multiple Ebay accounts. So it's definitely "buyer beware."
There also is a swirlyness to the water that seems to be missing from the bad pin too. At least, this fake is of such poor quality that it's easy to determine it's a bad pin.
I noticed this on one of the standard "Brave" mystery pins that hit eBay. Granted the light was shining RIGHT on the pin but it looked off when compared to other pictures and the chaser pin of this series. The bears' eyes looked way off to me. Now that I see the flaws with this Nemo pin, I'm glad that I didn't bid on it, just to be safe.
By the way, here are the pictures for reference. The one in question was a fairly tiny picture so it's hard to say. Chances are probably pretty good it was just the way the light made it look but... it was questionable enough for me to steer clear of it. May be worth mentioning that the seller is selling quite a few pins that have been notorious for fakes (gears Jessica, gears Cheshire, DSF Jessica decade pins...) as well.
The one in question...(also the blue background seems to also lack the swirly, pearlescent quality and to me, the lines seemed rather flat where the other one, the lines were more pronounced...)
Other standard "Brave" mystery pin...
I have pictures of most all the real ones. I looked at the clearly, and I mean clearly fake ones on eBay. These need to be reported to eBay ASAP. Clearly scrappers. I will have my daughter post the pics of the real ones. The most tell-tale sign is they should have the color swirling and the eyes on the toy story ones!
Would you mind posting pictures up of all your real ones? Maybe send them to pinpics (info@pinpics.com) so that they can have pictures of the pins. LOL.
Here are the scrappers that I've gotten, so watch out for these:
