There is a lot of dirt cheap epoxy on ebay, a few dollars for 2 gallons, and some buyers have also left positive feedbacks. Is there anybody here who has tried this as a filler for porous and rotten burl scales after stabilizing?

A huge cost for stuff like epoxy is the filling/packaging cost (not to mention marketing/advertising). Actual material cost (and cost of filling big gallon+ containers) can be amazingly low.

the epoxy you are mentioning might just be worth the expense to try for the purpose you mention (i would not trust it for gluing handle scales). But be aware that a lot of epoxies have a yellowish color that might degrade the appearance of your handle. It might also be thick enough that you will have trouble making it truly fill those voids (instead trapping bubbles under a layer of epoxy)?
 
You'd have to leave a link to the epoxy you're talking about. Best way to leave an ebay link is in the format of: https://www.ebay.com/itm/222662833996 where the 222662833996 is the item number. If you look at the total long ebay link you'll see the part that needs removing to leave just the above.
 
Yep, I expect those are scams OR perhaps vendor pulled item due to a typo with a wrong decimal point. I suspect English isn't their first language since they're in China.
 
Epoxy has been not necessarily hard to find for me lately, but not necessarily easy either. Especially the bigger bottle, I think the 9 oz size.
