help with sony memory stick please

dotchas

Hi,
I have bought a Kodak Digital Picture Frame for OHs Birthday next week.I asked in the shop if it took a Sony memory stick from my camera and was told I would need an adapter.
OK off I went to ebay and bought a 2gb card complete with adapter which arrived today.
BUT when I put it in the camera it says "Format Error". I tried formatting the card and it came up with the same error.
Does this mean its dud or is there something I should do?
I guess its a dud as it doesn't work in my Sony laptop either
Just don't want to look stupid to the ebay seller if its something I am doing:o

Thanks in advance

What are the models of the 2GB stick and photo frame you have bought?

dotchas

The 2gb stick is a Sony memory stick pro duo and the Photo frame is a Kodak P720

HTH

I haven't actually tried it in the Frame as I had wrapped it up and as I can't get any pics on it ,theres not much point

Thanks. Can you take a look at this eBay article on fake Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo sticks and check that yours is genuine:
http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/FAKE-Sony-Memory-Stick-Pro-Duo-MagicGate-Cards-Exposed_W0QQugidZ10000000001535763

The Easyshare P720 picture frame is listed as compatible with:
Secure Digital(SD), Multimedia Card(MMC), MEMORY STICK(MS), XD-Picture Card(xD), COMPACTFLASH(CF), MICRODRIVE(MD)

Are your photographs on your camera or on your computer?

Hi i always use ebuyer.com because of the above fakes
The sevice is good and the standard delivery is good always standard del. and had the goods in two - three days.

It does look like one of the fakes in the article (but then the card out my camera looks fake too:eek:!)
It isn't recognised by my Sony laptop and the camera gives a Format Error.

I was stupid to buy it from ebay:o:o:o
I was only looking for an adapter to begin with and then thought "Oh an extra card would be handy!"

I will contact seller and see what he says

Thanks for the help:beer:

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the MS Pro Duo and the Gaming MS Pro Duo I can't find a decent description for the gaming one, all I see is the gaming ones are a bit prettier:p

I will be using it in my Sony W130 digital camera (when it arrives) in case that matters
