The labels on the pictures of the parts boxes look like someone peeled them off of a roll and slapped them haphazardly on the box. That should be a dead giveaway, as machines apply the labels uniformly and precisely on parts packages for legitimate parts.
The labels on the stacked boxes look correct to me. That part# has been superceded/discontinued, so it's possible they got a good deal on a load of them and are selling them cheap to make a quick return on investment.....or they are fake. Tough call.
You can see the lack of precision in placement of the stickers below. Both purchased from Ford dealerships. Bottom one is the same fuel filter set.

There's buyer protection on EBay right? If you have a legit set to compare them to, buy them. If they are legit, you saved a lot of money. If they are fake, return them...
Only one pic comes up for me... they look legit, until maybe they won't like the set I got from Amazon and shipped back... did a thread on it with lots of pics.

I've learned the hard way that I will spend the money to get authentic Motorcraft parts such as fuel filters and oil filter.
Cheap insurance to avoid catastrophic damage to engine.

Fuel filters, 100%. Oil filters, different story... It was established in that oil filter dissection thread that the new MC2124 is using Purolator media that allows some stones to pass due to the longer OCIs coming with the latest and greatest 6.7s. I use Donaldson's P502503 filter...
