My experience with eBay LEDs has been pretty poor. I have had two 4W GU10 bulbs melt their lenses and fall apart. The other two bulbs from the same order switched on intermittently and then just stopped working.
On the other hand, I have also used dedicated LED fittings from Brightgreen and Thinkwise with good results. I use downlights from both in our house and I am very happy with them. No failures and good colour tone. Expectations were pretty high for these two given that they are considerably more expensive than the unbranded products from ebay.

I have also used LED strip for under cabinet lighting. Just regular $20/5m strip off ebay has proven to be perfectly acceptable for regular kitchen use.

The range of LED options out there these days is really quite amazing. It makes selecting products quite a challenge.
