Is the tiny link you posted to the actual ebay seller you used. I see your tiny link actually references a seller located and shipping from Taiwan. Generally I found the quality of Tools made in Taiwan to be much better than anything from main land China. (Twenty years ago most of Harbor Freight tools came from Taiwan - today most of their products are from China with varying quality.) The info below is copied from site referenced by the tiny link Robert posted: Beware, when purchasing items located outside the USA, all the statements below can be true.
Robert, could you possibility look back into your ebay history and see if you still have the sellers id or the auction number of your purchase - if you got yours in a moderate time and no additional customs or processing charges that would be the source to buy from.
Thanks
jerb

Sorry, here's one of several offerings for the
tool on Ebay.

Bill makes an important point. This critter is
an ignition hazard so be cognizant of the working
environment. Combustible liquids with low
vapor pressures are especially hazardous. I keep
cans of "carburetor cleaner" (really a kind of lacquer
thinner in a aerosol can) around for little shots
of de-greasing agent. It avoids having spillable
containers of the stuff around and limits the
amount and duration of combustible mix in the air.
Also, you DO want to check for effective shut-off
for gas flow. I've had a few tools over the years
that would leak out in the toolbox . . . but this
is rare. You can charge your new tool and just let
it set for a goodly amount of time and make sure
it's tight. You can perhaps smell gas flows that are
too small to hear.
Bob . . .
