I agree with you! I am a nurse practitioner, my husband is a physician and my sister-in-law is a pharmacist. Using poor judgement I bought a bottle from ebay. I noticed differences in the appearance of the pills eventhough it had a safety seal. It was shipped in a manila envelope without any info, etc... So, I decided to use my family resources and analyze the pill. It was not the same product. Please understand how authentic it appeared. The differences were very subtle and it tipped me off, otherwise I would have not picked up on it. To the people that are currently taking the pills from ebay I ask, how is your weight loss? Did anyone use alli from a retail store and then bought the next bottle from ebay? If so did you notice your wt. loss slowing or stopping?
