This is indeed a very good question! This morning I ordered 100 off 4.7k and 100 off 47k from ebay seller 'ceo1shop'. They claim to be 500v 3w metal oxide, but are totally anonymous as to origin. But I guess that is true of any source unless you buy items qualified to a military standard with all the accompanying paperwork.
