Batteries off eBay, good idea or not?

[H]

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, I'm sure someone will let me know if not.

So, I'll be needing a load of batteries for Big Game, to juice up markers, loaders and PMRs. Prices on eBay for ProCell batteries seem stonkingly cheap. As eBay can be riddled with forgeries (memory cards for example) how reliable have people found eBay in the past? Any recommended sellers that people have used before?

Never had any issues with any procells I've bought off of Ebay,look at the feedback of the seller.
I usually trawl through to find the best deals depending on the amount I'm buying.
Prolly better posted in "buying and selling" advice,but.....

Go for it, and dont pay any more than £8 delivered for a pack of 10.

They're great, check the stated life first too.

Have bought memory cards and Procell batteries from eBay for years without issue
Do your homework, just like you would do for any purchase of eBay.

DW, had a big issue with getting MS Duos from ebay a couple of years ago. Even from high feedback sellers I ended up getting fakes, admittedly they were good fakes and you couldn't tell unless you knew what you're looking out for but still was stung. If batteries are generally cool and you guys buy them from there then i'm cool with that

Check dates have a good few years on them and you cant go wrong with Procells, I use them and we also use loads of them at work for smoke alarms
