It's ironic that Chinese industry not only counterfeits Western products - it also counterfeits its own products. Brands like Hobbywing and Intellect have been developing world-class stuff, and now eBay is littered with fakes.

+1 We all need to be very careful when it comes to buying from eBay and other sites where there is no direct clue to the provenance of the seller.
Please also remember that if you import something directly from outside the EU, you are deemed to be the importer. If anything goes wrong, and there is a claim on insurance, the insurance company will come back to you as the importer to demand redress. This was the subject of an alert from the BRCA concerning an actual case where this was decided. Please don't argue with this on here and spoil this thread - it's a fact and any opinion you have will not change the Law!
I believe that if you bought it from eBay you can put a complaint on them - others have reported doing so on other forums. Hobbywing report that they spend quite a bit of time getting the fake sellers taken off eBay, so if the cell turns out to be a fake and that was your source, you might get something back. I'm more concerned that I get what I think I ordered, and because this is so rife now, these days I only order from the EU official importers anything that is made in China - speedos, motors, car kits and cells mainly.
