Thanks for caring! There's no such thing as counterfeit in this case: the IOIO is open source, royalty-free software and hardware. Anyone is welcome to make and sell them. Buy those at your own risk: I've seen various cheap "clones" that are of very poor quality. Sometimes they change parts in order to shave a few cents and do not make sure the new ones are compatible, sometimes the PCB is of poor quality, and most likely they do not do any sort of end to end testing on those boards. The boards sold by SparkFun and SeeedStudio have both been carefully inspected for quality, both manufacturers have built custom test rigs that do end-to-end testing on each individual board.
Having that said, using the SparkFun or SeeedStudio logo on such a board (which I've seen in the past, although not in your case) or copying the wording from the SparkFun website or claiming they're paying me royalty while they're not is totally uncool. So filing a dispute and/or rating them poorly on eBay seems legit.
