I bought this off Ebay but I am not sure if it is authentic or not. Can anyone here tell me or point me towards a resource I can use?

Yes, it’s fake, APAE is the code for Pokemon Pearl, not Platinum, it should be CPUE (as per the front of the cartridge on the sticker). The text looks blurry, the plastic looks odd, the 0J09 is a common pirated code (last four digits on the back).

Definitely fake. Batch identifier plus a lot of things (label quality, top notch) being a bit off, and the stamp code not being CPUENXXXX. https://www.gameverifying.com/wiki/cart-based-systems/nds
