Don't buy memory cards on eBay, your data is too valuable to risk on cheap counterfeit storage devices.
I use MyMemory.co.uk or Amazon.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

They've refunded me already, I've ordered one from 7dayShop as I've used them before and others on here have recommended them.
I wonder how many people have these and don't realize it, I'm a techy so the first thing I did is run H2testw against it, the vast majority of people probably wouldn't know until they went over 16Gb of content on it and stuff started getting corrupted.
Yup, this is why you should report them or leave bad feedback. You will only find out in normal use when you try to put more than 16GB onto the stick.0 -

They're not scammers, they're victims of counterfeit goods getting filtered into the supply chain by idiots in UK based offices, who are just trying to meet KPI's (or some other business bullsh*t buzz word).
Amazon we're retailing counterfeit memory for a short time, but they now have measures in place to ensure it cannot happen again.

Amazon had genuine 64Gb SD cards for £21 recently. Samsung's I think.0

How does that stop Joe Bloggs selling his duff memory sticks as an Amazon seller? all very fuzzy language for the business world but mean time in the real one...0 -
Original dosh was refunded before I returned the SD card.
New 64GB card from 7DayShop seems to be fine, and £3.50 cheaper.0
