From cone serial, it's a fake. No such "81" day; month of "29" also weird. Racket sold in Spore should have SP instead of CH.

newer batch of yonex, if not mistaken, starting from 2007, the sticker will not cover the cone code. nevertheless, this will not be hint of fake. if gala selling fake, the above is in risk of fake too....

No Ebay enquiries in this thread - read the title. It's certainly a fake though. Do you honestly believe you could get a real Arc7 for £30?
I didn't know, as someone who has never bought a raquet before only borrowed I only knew of the raquet by reputation. Is there any way I can check to see if the serial numbers possibly match up?
Maybe this would give it away: "This racket is clone-made directly from Yonex OEM factory in China with serial number on the shaft."
Funnily enough it didn't say that one the one that I bought which luckily means I will be entitled to a refund.
It's more like saying this scanario for example relating to your own explanation above. I went and bought a Polk Audio RTiA9 for $30 USD. I only know the company by reputation as I never purchased a speaker before. It turns out to be counterfeit of course. The cost of the genuine item is $850+ USD. The point I am trying to get a across is the explanation above is not a good reason. Next time when you do purchase, you should research first.

They won't. Even on the off chance they did, you'd still have a fake racket. Does the shaft have CH written on it (just above the cone)? If so, it's certainly a fake.
Just to add on top. If you are unsure of what you are getting into, then it is best to purchase from a Yonex Authorized Dealer.
