Hi there! I’ve bought a few silicone molds – none from ebay – mine have come from various cake product companies, though I don’t think that should make a difference :) Mine do have a strong “rubber” smell to them – even after washing. Not too bad, though. The pieces I’ve made using them haven’t had the odor transferred to them, thankfully so I think as long as you wash your molds thoroughly you should be fine!
