Hi Chris
yes there are one or two people selling these on Ebay. A couple of weeks ago I found someone on Ebay selling them as a Buy It Now for £2.00 each, bargain or what and it was free P&P Wow!
To answer your question. I like them. I can’t say how they stack up against ezelap because these are the first Diamond plates I have used. I use them most days and I have not noticed any change in their ability to quickly cut steel. I have checked them with a straight edge and they are not with out some distortion, but I can live with that, however I had no trouble in flattening the backs of a new to me second hand set of chisels one of which must have been use for opening every tin of paint ever made and for chiselling the odd brick along the way.
To conclude. cheap, they work for me, are still going strong.
Also I have always finished my sharpening with green polishing wax on a pine block of wood followed by stropping on a strip of leather carpet tacked to the same block.
