Are there any noticeable differences between the Ebay 7th gen shortshifter and the authentic TRD 6th gen quickshifter?

yes, the diffrences are huge,
the ebay is just a straight shaft, thats it.
it "fits" and "works" but IMO is quite notchy.

the quickshifter, is a complete assembely, and shifts VERY smoothly.
there is a big diffrence between a "short" shifter, and a quickshifter.
a short shifter is just that, short, and by effect, makes the throws shorter. more for looks than anything, most of the time makes shifting HARDER.
a quickshifter is made for racing, where you have BOTH hands on the wheel.
its made so that you can quickly reach down, flick the shifter into the next gear, and get your had back to the wheel quick.
