Not wanting to tempt fate, but I bought a crank sensor from ebay 2 1/2 years ago (kindly fitted by Albs) for £11.80 delivered and it is still going strong!
TB, if you ever want me to buy anything on your behalf, just let me know.....

You are the extreme minority.
on this forum. I wonder how many thousands of Omegas ran perfectly reliably with pattern crank sensors? Smart advice is to always fit a genuine dealer supplied crank sensor whenever there's an issue on any marque, but it's frequently just an aging part that's the problem.
I wonder. I bought a sensor off e-bay for £30. It ran for a year, then advice from this forum persuaded me to fit a genuine Vx sensor. I did so, and it failed within a month. I replaced the e-bay sensor, and it worked fine till I scrapped the car.
too narrow a focus makes the 'problem' look bigger than it is.
as with many things, there are good aftermarket parts and garbage
I've watched OEM vs cheap aftermarket sensors scoped on youtube showing considerable difference in performance ,take into account fuel cost ,a cheap sensor may cost more long term
but OEM sensors fail too
luck of the draw perhaps
