i stopped buying things from "stores" off ebay and amazon. they are so overwhelmingly flooded with Chinese garbage knockoffs these days its nearly a 30% chance you will get a product thats the genuine deal. perfect example is, i just bought 2 arduino boards, an Uno and a mega from amazon, from a listed reputable resaler, they even had pics of the REAL thing but yet both were cheap chinese coppies. funny enough they actually function the same...... but thats not the point.
