    Best to check read/write speeds as I got a really slow transcend 8gb class 10 and was refunded +postage. Transcend does seem to be the most common culprit.

    The Transcend class 10 cards are probably genuine, i got a few, both 8GB and 16GB from 7day shop and they work 100% and are the best cards i've had.

    I know ebay has lots of fakes for sale but also read that there are fakes on Amazon too. I'm much more familiar with ebay but don't really understand who I'm buying from on Amazon or if I'm buying from Amazon directly so unsure how genuine the sellers are apart from their feedback...
    I assume the sellers on Amazon.co.uk are in the UK?


    you can tell on amazon if an item is sold by amazon or marketplace seller

    Amazon are out of stock of them at the minute, so any listed will be from third party sellers.
