If you do go down the memory card route its a very tough one. Millions of questions is this compatible with...

This is broken it won't work in my xxxwhatever (so you google for them and find its because it was never compatible in the first place).

It does not work and you have ruined my holiday so you ask them nicely to return it even though they just wanted a straight refund get it back and find 100 holiday snaps on it. do you refund everything plus return postage or risk a neg on a cheap item?

Go for something idiot proof (easy said than done!)

Unfortunately, "idiot proof" is often not "ebay buyer proof". Only IMHO of course.

I am interested in becomming a full time Ebay trader

Ebay are a very unreliable business partner, they can and do ban people for no reason, on no account use ebay as you main source of income as when you get banned, you will have no income.

Can i advise everyone to stay away from all of the following,

• Companies/websites asking a subscription or "one off lifetime membership" for "ebay wholesale contacts"
• Websites offering "how to ebay" eBooks
• Get back on ebay after suspension sites that charge a subscription
• Get back on ebay after suspension Ebook's
• "guaranteed" paypal limitation removal eBooks.
• "guaranteed" Make $10,000 a month on Google Adsense eBooks

The chances of finding one that isn't a scam are worse than your chances of winning the lottery.

Some of it is impossible.

That which isn't impossible is available for free, just look harder.

Companies with good wholesale contacts don't hide them behind subscriptions.

DON'T GET SCAMMED.
