I've been selling my rebuilt injectors both on here and on Ebay for several years, and up until recently, the Chinese knockoff listings on Ebay were blatant and easy to pick out even without clicking on the listing. They'd be listed as "Brand new" parts and as "OEM generic replacements" (generally branded as Deleen, which was named a counterfeit company by ASNU). For the past year or so, I've been just going to my active listings and updating my stock as I got new stuff in, not really listing anything else other than M50 manifolds and other one-off parts I get in occasionally. However, I just finished a batch of all new-to-me part number injectors and went to look up the average prices of them. To my horror, I found several sellers with "remanufactured Bosch injectors", shipping from "Washington", for less than half of the price of other sellers. Going into the seller info page, the accounts are all shown to be Chinese, and the negative feedback shows that people are getting these "Bosch" injectors sent to them in Deleen boxes. Simply search 0280150715 into Ebay and check out the first few results.
This isn't a promotion for my injectors, neither is it a smear campaign against Chinese parts (If that's your thing for whatever reason). I'm just bringing to light the fact that they're falsely advertising their fake injectors as real German parts and, despite the fact that all the accounts doing so have a ton of negative feedback and have probably been reported to high hell for fraud, it looks like Ebay is allowing them to do this for one reason or another. If you're going to buy rebuilt injectors on Ebay, just dig a little into the profile beforehand.
