How do i identify genuine charger and USB cable?

[h4mza]

I bought a charger with USB cable from ebay and on the listing it said genuine with 3 years warranty. I want to make sure how do i confirm that it is genuine and when they say 3 years warranty, is it by Apple or the ebay seller?

Here is the ebay listing

Simple, you don't buy it off of EBay. That warranty is also with the "company" that is selling it to you, not Apple. My guess is that it is probably a knockoff but if it works, who cares.

knockoff chargers are about 1/2 of the weight of the standard REAL apple charger. cables sometimes have a longer plastic sheeting by the actual connector ends.
