I don't know, I never had a problem with mine. You could always put a fuse inline on the power cable out to the laptop.

The one on eBay is an aftermarket Universal DC adapter. Inside it is a small switching power inverter with adjustable (selectable from a switch outside) DC output voltage. it is dirt cheap because it is an aftermarket brand that carries just about no liability or warrant. OEM adapters will sell at prices several times of that.

The quality and reliability of an aftermarket one is a concern to me. But most of them will work fine except a few out of a few thousands may burn and trash the equipment it powers.
