Well that was a surprise!!! Ha ha- all good. A shit fight keeps us all entertained from time to time.
Anyway, point being made and with others input I believe has been made.....
Ebay is like a loophole in the process of certification of standards. many Chinese small companies see Ebay as a market front to sell products to Western countries and it works well for them. But... the days of single importers distributing goods throughout Australia has long gone ( bar some products). Chinese manufacturers will sell single items to end users whereas before, you had to buy bulk and have quite a few $$'s behind you as well as storage etc.
The onus of safety used to be with the distributor.. you can buy what you like but that doesn't mean you can onsell what you like. Fines for selling non compliant goods are hefty to say the least. By going direct, you are bypassing this important step in the chain and it really is " buyer beware".
If you don't know how to determine if something is safe.. don't buy it. If you cant make it safe once determined... don't buy it.
Oh and remember... only the Chinese know how to make stainless that rusts..
LOL!!!!
