Hi Logan,

 

Unless it’s being offered at a pretty low price, I’d recommend continuing to shop around.

 

It does look like a genuine wakizashi, but in its current condition, it’ll be extremely difficult to appreciate any activities in the steel.

The hamon is very hard to make out in the photos; I suspect due to a buffing or improper polish; and the nearly nonexistent hamachi suggests a tired blade.

Overall, I think you could find something more enjoyable if you wait for the right piece. 
Other opinions may vary, but that's what I see. 
All the best,
-Sam
