content: Most of the fuses on eBay are clones (not real Bussman).https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/fake-bussmann-multimeter-fuses-on-ebay-dmm-b-44100-r-and-dmm-b-11a/They'll work as fuses, ie. they'll blow at approximately the right current, but the tolerances and quality control aren't the same. Whether or not they're good enough for you depends on what you use the meter for. What voltages do you poke at? How critical are the fuses to personal safety?Here's a related video:

content: Having recently blown a Bussman 440 mA fuse (aargh!!!) I discovered the retail price in the USA is about $8 each. You should look around for that price, and don't buy from eBay as there is no way to trust what you get from there.
