Hi guys I've been researching cheap but well built option for wireless charging, there are cheap ones on ebay for around $20-ish but I'm not sure about the quality on those.
if anyone has done the research and plan to get one/already use one, can you please share some information with us?
Thanks guys!

I use a Nokia charger that I bought from DSE after an alert from OB. Works just fine and the white charger matches the white N5. It was $20 on special but I have seen them at JB for about $70.
thanks guys for the replies!
still unsure as to if the cheap ebay ones are any different to the ones you've suggested..
Got a cheap china ebay one, works very well with my nexus 5. I don't see the point in paying $50 unless you care about aesthetics? Not much difference though in my opinion. I put it on at night, wake up in the morning with 100%, and that's that!

Protip: All made in China ;)
This doesn't mean much. Huge amounts of modern electronics is made in China and much of it is exceptionally high quality standard, hard to beat anywhere in the world. Others are basically hard rubbish.
I don't understand the point of wireless charger! Why not just use the usb cable?
If its charge with long distance ok there is point, but you have to put the phone above it and charge slower than the USB cable and you can't really use the phone while its charging.
mostly convenience, when you have a small-ish battery like that on the nexus 5, its much easier to use the wireless charging capability to charge it repeatedly 20-30 times on your desk, which is really kind of unrealistic if you use a cable.
plus if you want a charger at your bed and another one on your desk, I cant imagine anyone choosing a cable over the wireless option.
Fair enough :)
hopefully soon enough we do get wireless chargers that work "completely wireless-ly" if thats even a word haha
it'd be pretty cool to have one charger that charges everything in the room/house/car
Batteries wouldnt need to be as big, -> smaller phones! :)
OK if you like cancer.
lol true
LG WCP-300 is great.
