Spurious

not genuine, authentic, or true; not from the claim, pretended, or proper source; counterfeit

I found spurious items sold at on eBay that I stayed away from.

NOTE: This word is a shining example of a word that can easily replace a poor substitute. Rather than saying fake, I can say spurious.

A better word than:

fake
unauthentic
counterfeit
not genuine
false
bogus
imitation
