Picked up a few "Wima" 0.022 uF caps on that auction site and they are marked so...
WIMA

Never saw Wimas marked like this, but... ?
Oh, and they are 250v IIRC but the legs are 16mm long.
Thats a long leg on a little guy, no?
Are these the real thing, or is Hong Kong shipping fakes?
Yeah, shocker!😀
Thank you,
John

Threads like this without a good picture or two are pretty useless. Please post a few and someone should be able to answer your questions.
WIMA is a German company, so anything coming from another country for less should be suspect (except for authorized distributors)...
Also they published detailed datasheets of their products, so you can compare your sample against how it should look like:
WIMA Capacitors, Product Range
Do they look like these?

no, its a 100V cap as marked. The leg length is normal and is needed for belt fed placement machines. Just 'we' don't see those very often, cause caps sold for manual placement and soldering get their leads cut somewhere in the distribution chain.Oh, and they are 250v IIRC but the legs are 16mm long.
