I believe they are genuine because NFC functionality works.
Other shops do not have them because they are not sold separately in Korea (or anywhere in the world), they come in the box of the Galaxy Nexus in Korea. (http://www.gsmarena.com/korean_galaxy_nexus_to_have_an_extended_2000mah_battery-news-3449.php)
I believe the seller is taking them out of the box and reselling, thus why he states no retail packaging. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...Accessories&hash=item1c222d09fc#ht_4850wt_905)
This is the packaging it comes in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20976912&postcount=213

Have you asked Samsung? You might believe them
I have brought some dirt cheap batteries (not NFC) and they defo aren't official and i believe.... in decent third party batteries/dock/cases etc
In the same way I wont be spending the ridiculous prices for an official car dock

I'm not paranoid, I'm simply not ignorant.
Batteries are dangerous if build with cheap materials without rigid check during the manufacturing process.
Batteries can explode, can leak acid and can burn. Is this paranoia?

Yes it is paranoia if the paranoid thoughts or ideas are unfounded,The seller on eBay has legitimate OEM battery's,people have posted pictures & reported they are in fact real yet you continue to bog up the forums & threads with this nonsense.Nobody cares if you don't want to buy one,nobody cares if you do.What we all do care about is information in these threads & on xda as a whole stays as clean and on topic as possible,we all come here for REAL information and stuff like this(That you have posted in multiple threads)just makes it more difficult to navigate & find what were looking for.My suggestion would be to read the entire thread I posted for you on page 1,instead of creating new threads with things that have already been or are being discussed.

There is no proof that that battery is genuine so it is highly unprobable that an ebayer could have an item before clove, amazon, expansys and other bigs.
As always happened in the mobile world most of the batteries sold on ebay before.official release are only facked batteries sometimes sold as genuine like in this case
Verizon was selling official replacements for $20 last week. I posted that in the ... other battery thread. Not sure if the sale is still on.
I believe they had them on Samsung.com.

You said you're not ignorant, but you said in the other thread that THESE WERE REAL.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-1750mAh...149237?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6ddaa6b5
Samsung has not distributed the extended batteries outside of South Korea. The eBay seller is FROM SOUTH KOREA. He is probably getting the batteries from people that don't need them and selling them on eBay. Stop being so dense.
Also again.. it's spelled "faked"
If you don't think they're real then just don't buy them.
Move on.
You can wait till whatever sites you expect to be 'real' and just buy it from them. No body cares if you wanna buy it now. Stop making it such a big deal.
Also, how will you prove that all the websites you pointed out are gunna be 'real'

You can see from the pictures that the label on that battery is stuck on, seems too good to be true when you get about 50% more capacity without any added width, it is more likely to be a fake

Theres another one up that is 2900mah US based seller. Guy has 300,000+ positive feedback.
i saw this too on ebay. i'm considering it
seller feedback means nothing.. normal people won't test the batt properly and will just base it on their gut feel to see if it's better or worse than the original and if you complain that it's crap, the seller can just tell u you use it for 1 mth or something to "condition" it and he can get rid of 80% of all the people who complained
valid point but I think at some level it goes to the quality of the seller.

I've seen lots on ebay that are excellent counterfeits, some of which work as well as the genuine part. For example, I once bought a phone battery that looked exactly the same as the original, except for the quality of the hologram and two small typos, and it held a charge better than the original battery that came with the phone.
So it may well be worthwhile even if it's not genuine.
Hopefully they have nfc support....
A wise man once told me, "You don't always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for!" $8 for a genuine Samsung battery - when they retail at $30 for a device that is still very popular, I would think twice. Spend the extra $20 for a legit battery.
Just my 2 cents.
Well I can always return it

Q: why doesn't the battery actually say SAMSUNG? the OEM batteries say samsung on them. Aug-31-12
A: Hello, This battery is produced in the same factory than the original one. It is exactly the same samsung part,but due to copyright and license complications,factories do not stamp the samsung logo on them so they can sell them to other companies as well. In any case,I personally own an s3 and use a battery from this batch daily.It works just like the regular one. Hopefully this make things clearer.Thank you,

Really? They are the same sellers on eBay and they come from China as well. Just because it's fulfilled by Amazon doesn't make it genuine.

That's the most trusted replacement supplier in the world. Also, swbox ain't bad either. All Chinese suppliers aren't bad. These two are quite reputable. Check them out.
Wonder where this guy got so many covers. Mine is getting a bit scratched up on the corners after using my S3 bare for a few months, good to know I can get OEM covers on eBay.
I have the urge to get a white one and use it on my pebble blue, just to mix things up a bit.

In the US, you can get a Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Verizon in very good or better condition for around $160 used on fleabay or craigslist. Make certain you check with the seller that the ESN /IMEI number is valid before bidding though and activate the phone as soon as possible just in case.
Sometimes cowboom has them for around $170 rated condition 7 - 8 but they tend to sell fast.
