A lot of stuff on amazon/ebay is fake - tools, any kind of parts including automotive and even books (cheap reprints).

All these fakes ends up in brick and mortar stores as well and in some cases you have to pay more than original should costs for poor quality fake without even knowing it.

Amazon / ebay won't move a finger since they get to collect they fees. Removing fake listing is time consuming and even if they will remove it once, those will soon be back in stock again...
