Got my GRX groupset from an Ebay seller in Taiwan. I believe it's real, as the fit and finish on something like that would be extremely difficult to replicate. I assume that they have real distribution channels that don't all go through U.S. retailers, and they have inventory available, whereas inventory is scarce in the U.S..

That's not saying that there aren't fakes... no doubt there are. It's probably somewhat risky. I wouldn't buy from an Ebay seller in another country without a very high feedback rating. I'm relying on others to knock the rating down if they received obvious fakes. Maybe the rating system can be gamed, but perhaps not as much as Amazon reviews.
