Are cell phone acessories on ebay basically 3rd rate crap?

I bought a travel charger for pretty cheap on ebay for my cell phone. It doesn't work at all, but atleast I didn't pay much for it. I have an LG 5250, and I need a new battery. I'm thinking about getting a new battery off of Ebay since its substancially cheaper ($12 vs $60), but after my first experience with crappy quality, should I be weary about getting an extended battery off of ebay? Anyone else here had any experience with getting cell phone accessories off of ebay?

If the auction you're bidding on has 20 duplicates, it's most likely crap.

The first and last battery I bought off ebay for my phone, it was terrible quality. It might say made in Japan, but that doesnt mean its of quality materials. Battery didnt even get to 50% life of previous stock Nokia battery.
