Sony vtc5 authentic???

I got these battery's from eBay last week and was wondering if I got ripped off I paid 45 dollars Canadian with shipping from the U.S

Ugh, eBay...$45 wow. eBay has been flooded with fakes, lots of people getting hit.

Honestly those look pretty good though, I would say they are authentic based off the pictures you posted. They don't appear to have any of the telltale signs of the counterfeits. If you could, would it be possible to post close up pictures of the QR code and each end of the battery? That will tell me more definitively if it is 100% authentic. As it stands, off the pictures currently...I would say authentic.

I am comparing your pictures to my known authentic VTC5's and they're basically identical.

From what I can tell they look legit the negative post looks good from this distance you are showing looks nice and flat. I would say they are good. I did a extensive look over my VTC4's based off of VTC5 pictures because I saw no VTC4 pics and I think mine are legit even tho they are missing the "Sony 31" mark. I think you might be okay but I would be wery about buying batts of ebay. I bought my VTC4's off VaporKings and I am still wondering if they are real lol.

Thanks for those additional pics, that is definitely an authentic VTC5. Count yourself lucky!

Who was the seller? I just ordered a pair from r-isles. "Guaranteed authentic", for $38 they better be.

Those look like the same box and batteries I got but I "only" paid $16.99 plus ship from New Brunswick from eastcoastvapes.
