ebay means "manufacturer's rejects" and "sweepings off the floor".
Don't buy anything from ebay, instead buy from a reputable and reliable Western electronics parts distributor.
Haven't you see a datasheet of an old 2N2222 transistor? Like all transistors its hFE is a range of 1 to 3 times and the actual hFE also varies with the collector current.
With a collector current of 1mA the minimum hFE is 50 with no guaranteed maximum hFE.
With a collector current of 150mA the hFE is guaranteed to be from 100 to 300.
hFE is DC current gain that is listed and shown on a graph on a datasheet.
hfe is AC current gain that is usually a little less than hFE at low frequencies and is usually not shown on a datasheet.
