The belts were relatively cheap, but tagged with 2016, so I assumed they were old stock going cheap, which is why I did not think the price was suspect. When I verified whether they were genuine with the supposed manufacture (sent them pics), they confirm that they were not authentic.
Shame you were stung, but excellent detective work by you, and luckily paypal helped you out. Thanks for sharing your tale.....
If I were to buy eBay items from China/HK or Taiwan, my default position is that the item is a replica until such time as compelling evidence is given to support its authenticity.
Not that I ever buy stuff off eBay........
