Read the listings correctly

Ok, just been taught a lesson (thankfully not an expensive one)
Was looking on ebay for a new memory card, came across a cheap one for £4.50 with free P&P (I thought it said 16gb, but it only said 16mb)
I didn't bother looking at the pic either and clicked BIN.
Item arrived today and was 16mb, but was completely my fault for not reading the listing properly or looking at the pic, the seller in no way tried to advertise it as 16gb or anything.
So a little loss I guess, but will hopefully help me avoid making the same mistake on an expensive item in the future.
Anyway, left positive feedback for the seller, and will keep the memory card as a backup one for my camera instead.

£4.50 for a 16MB isn't a bit steep?
Anyway I just had a look at mem cards on ebay. Browsing through the categories without using the search then by Capacity/Choose More/16MB (MB, not GB) I found out that almost everybody there sells 16GB memory card in the 16MB cat!!!
This is probably because the at the moment eBay has 8GB as the top for memory cards.
Funny isn't it?
The search is here*_*_* Department of Redundancy Department *_*_*0
