Do you work there? ;-)
The point was how to guarantee you are getting genuine D'Addarios.
I would not buy from an eBay store unless I knew the shop (in which case it's often cheaper to buy direct anyway)

I've tried all the others mentioned in this thread and only rate Strings Direct.

Fakes are still out there but are a lot rarer than they used to be.
Unusual for them to 'go dead' in about five hours.
With Amazon:
If it states in the listing 'Dispatched from and Sold by Amazon' that means it has come directly from ourselves to Amazon, so you can be assured of authenticity.
If it is bought from another seller on Amazon just be sure you are using a reputable store. All of the ones mentioned so far are reputable dealers and there are MANY others. Most of the fakes are still coming from the far east.
If you ever have any doubts about a seller or listing you can always reach out to me and I'll take a look.
If you are happy to PM me your address (and some photos if you get a chance) I'll be happy to replace the set for you as they shouldn't be going dead in that space of time (even if you have highly acidic sweat like mine!)

Were they ones they were selling themselves or a reseller using their marketplace?
Given the problems with fakes, I will only buy ones that they are selling themselves.
In fact given that they're made in China it's quite possible they come out of the same factory as the fake D'Adds :-O.
