New TPMS sensors from china

Hi all, i need new sensors for my KB1 and i searched ebay and found these sensors and they do say "TRW Automotive" on them. Dealer wants 60$+tax for each sensor. Does anyone here has used these kind of sensors from china?
Thanks

Thanks for your willingness to help. I am located in Kitchener, ON (170 miles east of Detroit). I have already ordered sensors from China, they are genuine TRW according to seller. Does anyone knows the difference between 06421-s3v-a04 and 42753-shj-a531 as these both tpms part numbers seem to work with our KB1.

These work fine and are exact replacements. Under $40 each.

No programming required for me just put on snow tires and they worked

And they are duds. So the lesson is not to buy tpms from China. I ended up buying them again from acuraoemparts (the real ones lol) for 115$ US shipped to Canada. I didn't install them yet.
