I've been looking at the Grasshopper backrest. It is in the same price range, and the website is not broken english like your ebay auction. The Grasshopper is made in the USA.

That backrest looks like a pile, just judging by the pics.

They first state below the pictures "All sales are final, no return and refund" then read below that.

hey, careful if it's made in China or other similar country, a 2 year old might be getting promoted to do the work...
