As I live in Iceland XIAMOI doesn't ship to my country. So I started looking on ebay for their power banks. I found this one which is a bit higher than retail price, it has sold in big numbers and I need to figure out if it's real!

Thanks

Chances are, merchants at things like flea markets/night markets buy these in bulk and resell them. Merchants at the Summer Night Market in Vancouver buy cellphone cases and weird tech stuff from websites like Wish/Geek App or Alibaba/AliExpress and resell for double or triple the price.
