Yea same as that, although different seller.

Another listing: New SHARK 1200W 140mm Fan Gaming PC ATX Power Supply off the US Ebay website
PSU: US $69.99

You know what they say about something that looks 'too good to be true'.

 

[kevinspl]

its ok and very cheap so if u cant have a budget higher than that id get this one

 

[electricfirebolt]

Are the rail voltages correct?

 

[WR2]

I think you'd want to find an independent review to confirm that's a decent PSU before you take a chance like that. No reviews of that sort that I've seen.
There must be better ways to spend $82 on a PSU.

What do you need to power?

 

[Guest]

depending on your system specs; you're better off getting a 650 watt quality PSU than an overpowered cheap one.

 

[electricfirebolt]

I need around a 850 - 900w PSU, My budget is around: £70-£85

EDIT: unless your running a multi-graphic card setup you don't need that much power.

To answer the original question.
It's suspect. And I'm not the only one that thinks so.

This is the kind of independent review you like to see for an important part like a PSU:

Can't find a picture of the label that might allow us to find the oem.
Claims 80+ , but is not in the 80+ database.
Garbage, that should be avoided.
List your specs , and a reasonable budget , you'll get reccomendations for a quality psu
