Short answer no.
Long answer, no, and don't buy batteries off of ebay. Buy from reputable battery sites, you are less likely to get fakes.
Those batteries are not actually rated at what the wrap claims. Look at mooch's posts to see the list of batteries he recommends.

eBay is no good for batteries, ever. I get mine from liion.com, great prices, quick shipping, authentic batteries. I know there are other good vendors that people prefer, I just happened to go with liion.
I do have a couple of those Imren batteries that my husband bought from a smoke shop (despite telling him Samsung, LG or Sony) and I do use them but I don't and wouldn't vape high wattage with them.
Noooooo! I didn't need to see my favorite batteries on sale when I've already made 3 vape related purchases today. My husband is going to kill me.
Unless you divorce him and take half first.
If you need any more help, I'll be here all week.

Hahaha I justify it to my fiancee that my purchase is in the name of safety! I've been using the same Sony cells for just over a year soooooo... (BTW nothing wrong with them at all).

Have a read through Mooch's blog.This will enable to make an informed decision, followed up of course with more questions here should you need to.

No!
If you want cells for high/higher wattages, buy appropriate cells from Sanyo (UR18650NSX), Sony, Samsung or LG and buy them not at eBay but at a trustworthy shop.
Don't buy Efest (they often lie and label e.g. 10A cells as 20 or 30A), and don't buy anything else than Sanyo/Panasonic, LG, Samsung or Sony.
All other 18650 high drain cells on the market are re-labeled batteries from Sanyo/Panasonic, LG, Samsung or Sony, afaik. And very often the re-labellers sell them with false specs (higher drain and/or higher capacity).
I don't understand why efest gets special mention.
There's plenty of shops that don't sell them.
Yet all these shops do sell rewraps with inflated specs.
I think we've been well past the point of this being a single brand issue for more than enough time.

Maybe because they are most spread of all re-wrappers/re-labelrs?
Of course all re-labelrs that falsify specs are the same evil.

Efest gets hammered because they are the most popular & widely distributed, that and it would take 2 pages to list all the others notorious for wrapping / re wrapping lesser quality cells & over stating specs.
With Sony selling their 'battery' division to Murata last year I predict they will soon be on the suspicious / never know what you're gonna get list.
And it's not uncommon for a new poster to be told to avoid efest...
And you could fill 2 pages with the names of over spec'd rewraps they just bought to avoid efest.
When acceptable brands and places to buy them can be listed with 2 category introductions and 10 names or less.

So, you believe one of the big players in the electronic component manufacturing industry is going to jeopardize a profitable battery business?
Hell, the only brand reference I can figure out in Sony's cell wraps are the first two letters, “SE” (Sony Energy). At most, Murata will change it for an “ME” (Murata Energy) plus an optional “D” (Division). The agreement may include development personnel conveyance, too.
My bet is the cells may be called slightly different, but the business will go on as usual. They have a hefty client portfolio to honour.
Cheers
