Pearl Izumi clothing eBay but origin=China?

[Kingfisher]

Looking on eBay for pearl Izumi and see brand New Jerseys at under $20, brand new
Are these legit or am I naive into believing they are oem?

I don't know about your specific jersey, but there's a ton of counterfeit Chinese jerseys on eBay at that price point. I would have to assume it's fake.

Hard to say without seeing it, but it’s definitely possible they’re fakes.

ebay/aliexpress new at a really great price almost always = fake

[trener1]

99.99 (ok 100) percent fake

It's the stingy man that pays the most.

Fake.

[Elefantino]

They are from the same people who brought you the $999 Pinarellos.

I'd say fake.
Many, many years ago I got a pair of Scott bib shorts from eBay. Mostly white with some black accents. The black dye bled into the white.
I was going to email Scott to complain then realized that I had bought fake stuff.

Fixed that.

Fake...do some google-foo and you can find fake just about anything from China. I bought a $20 Giro helmet just to see(it was really awful) and a $2 Merckx watch, with $18 shipping....

PT Barnum would be proud.

Generally, price too good to be true for new gear on eBay is fake.

Look I’ve bought real PI stuff for those prices over here in Europe

BUT

I used to work a short time for PI and know of some dealers who buy up all the sample collections and left-over stock which they then sell a bit more anonymously online

So maybe if the vendor online also has a shop or chain it could be legit
