If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If the business was that profitable, the ebay seller would be doing it himself rather than selling on ebay.

Indeed.
This idea has popped up a few times over the years and is of course total bull.
It is feasable to split water into its component gasses but obviously you have to put in more energy
than you get back.
If it was a practical idea Shell/BP etc would have patented it by now.

Hey, i had them fit one to my SAAB 2.3 petrol & it went from 26mpg to this:
 
99.9mpg
Not really, only joking, I managed to fill up at a petrol station at the top of a hill & coast for half a mile 
It makes you wonder though, I would love to sit in on one of their training courses 
By the way, did i mention my kit car is going to be running on fluff from our hoover - must not forget to fit a flux capacitor too !
Oh yeah, you can call me Marty McFly too...

Thats pretty bad - not only are they flogging the kits for a a few quid on ebay, but now they are preying on unemployed people sinking £1k into total
bollox.

Mythbusters did a program on it, and busted the myth.
You could run a car on hydrogen liberated from water electrolysis, but it would be on a scale top big to fit in a car. The gas would have to be
compressed into bottles to be carried in car.

Extract from Wkipedia
Oxyhydrogen is also often mentioned in conjunction with devices that claim to operate a vehicle using water as a fuel. The most common and decisive
counter-argument against producing this gas on-board to use as a fuel or fuel additive is that the energy required to split water molecules exceeds
the energy recouped by burning it.[15] Additionally, the number of liters per minute of gas that can be produced for on-demand consumption through
electrolysis is very small in comparison to the liters per minute consumed by an internal combustion engine.[16]
