There seems to be two types of lego, Real & Fake. Real Lego works, it snaps together, it retains it shape, its colour stays fast. Fake Lego looks similar, sounds compleletly different, does not snap together well, falls apart, warps in the heat or sun, and fades. The main difference I have spotted in my 40 years experience with lego are the logos. The fake lego Logo is the same font and shape, it is inconsistent. AND THERE IS NO CIRCLE AROUND THE WORD LEGO. Real Lego has a circle (very fine) around the name. Watch out ! Because there is heaps of fake lego on ebay. And whilst any experienced seller should know if there selling fakes, some seller genuinely believe what they are selling is genuine. Probably more because they think it was when they bought it. Happy Bidding.
