Too many customer supplied counterfeit parts purchased on Ebay?

Need for traceability of parts from known suppliers for safety,
liability or insurance purposes?

When I've wanted to it's been for the much the same reason -
manufacturer/known brand (say, Bosch, Brembo) cam belt, disks and pads.

IME they've been pattern or OEM parts - not genuine. So probably fine while
any warranty applies.
