I have no probem with ebay adapters, I purchased the same type locally. If I
pay that money I would purchase the original Olympus adapter with a little
more (~$160). I have the original Olympus adapter for OM to 4/3, the steel
spring locks make a big different from the type you show here, the brass
lens friction locks will bend with heavy lenses, like the $17 adapter I
purchased locally but it is ok for what I paid for.

The best third party adapter I got is a Pen FT lens to micro 4/3 adapter,
same as this one, but I purchased it locally at $45:

ebay item: 220584631617

It has steel springs, will last very long but the total thickness is a bit
thin (focus well pass infinity) and you may need to flatten the springs a
little due to very tight for first time use.
