Default Buying oil filters on ebay. risks?

Genuine Subaru oil filters advertised at £7.50 against much higher dealer prices of £11.49 plus vat@ 20%
Feedback is good and warrantied original equipment.
Opinions?

Bought from ebay at 7.50 and is the genuine article. Will check for a link. I took it to Coleraine N.I my local dealer and confirmed authentic. They could not explain the price difference however. Warranty continuous was all i needed to hear. Someone is making a killing! Stealers.
