Phone cases and batteries are usually selling much cheaper on ebay than Amazon Marketplace. A lot of them are obviously fakes, but even the real ones are a good 20-30% cheaper.

"A lot of them are obviously fakes"

Amazon is even worse, because sometimes there's no way to tell if items is original or fake and end up getting fake for same price as original. On eBay you can mostly safely assume it's fake, so at least you get what you pay for.

Well you can source ebay items from reputable, name brand, stores, and you know they didn't mix in fakes from chinese companies.
