Recently I got some emails from ebay buyers, they claimed the NCH6100HV Nixie Power Supply they bought from other eBay sellers can not works and looks very poor quality, not exactly same as I posted on my website: http://www.nixieclock.org/?p=493
Today I found my nixie power supply has been counterfeited by some people, and they also marked my website on the board, absolutely fake one:

I'm sorry to see this happened and sorry for guys who bought the fake one, I always using high quality electronic components for my design, I hope similar things will not happen in the future.

Thanks.
Yan.

File complaint with eBay and get the sellers shut down.  You make great quality stuff and this is unfortunate. 

Too many crooks in the world.   EBay is pretty good with buyers when counterfeit and fake parts are found.   Buyers need to speak up when cheated and get these sellers banned.

Wise words Jeff. The more people speak out, the less this will (hopefully) happen...

How do you sell your supplies?
I don't see how to do that on your website?

There still seem to be fake boards on eBay :

I guess eBay isn't that good in eliminating counterfeit parts after all...
It seems to be more like spam : if one account is closed, they just open another one.

Another different fake one, marked my website, they even don't know what it use for, they marked HU, it should be HV, I write v1.1.0 means the version, they marked ui.io, I use 47uH inductor, they use 470uH, it's quite funny.
