I was checking some auctions from this seller on the Italian eBay, and found two games for the Atari 2600 that I couldn't find in the database:

Pinball:

Car Racing
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8203676794&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores

both from Taiwan productions. The seller is also selling a third game from this company (Ice Hockey), which is already listed in the database.

Yeah, but note the "original box" versus "generic box" -- what's that about? Which would you get if you ordered it? The "generic box" art looks familiar; it's possible the cart inside is known. Until someone buys one of these and reports back, who knows...

Well, in the auction it states that you get the generic box. It also states that the brand is Taiwan (since the box is generic, I take it that this brand is from the cartridge), and one of these games has already been added to the database before (Ice Hockey). I've bought various items from this seller, and the details have always been completely accurate (i.e. brand, product number, etc) - hence I don't think you will find a cartridge in there from a different brand. However, like you said, it's best if somebody would purchase these for verification...I leave that up to an Atari collector! ;)
