One of the reviewers at that link suggests protechstore had listed a lot of items on eBay.

I've seen that website before but there was a seller on Ebay called Protechstore. However, it comes up as NARU (no longer a registered user) and there is some negative feedback from buyers who claimed that they paid money and did not receive any goods. There is positive feedback but also a fair number of negatives. I think this was the company which the customer feedback on Ciao and other websites referred to. Whether they are one and the same as Protechstore.com is another thing altogether. What is known about that website is that it was registered very recently (see domain lookup on Whois earlier in the thread) and those comments come from 2007 at the latest - the Ebay account has not been used since April 2006 and was apparently based in the US. Many people sell junk on Ebay which might be counterfeit or otherwise dodgy, also many sellers de-register and some come back with new accounts - there are probably too many examples to generalise from but I think most people who spend time on there know about it. I have bought goods on Ebay in the past which turned out to be counterfeit or poor quality products. Most of the time I had no idea about them.
The link to the Protechstore on Ebay is here -
eBay My World - protechstore
Marketwal.com - Yes, this does look similar to the other websites. I should point out that I have been to Tottenham Court recently but for some reason I never saw this business. Should be fairly easy to check anyway, I suppose it is right next door to Techsohos.
