Buying Micro SD cards on EBAY

Seems to be alot of sellers on EBAY selling 8GB 16GB 32GB micro SD cards but the BUYER does not receive the Item, I purchased 2 cards from 2 different SELLERS and not 1 was delivered after 6 days and when I checked their "selling page" and "Items for sale page" the whole page had been removed recently. yes they where UK sellers with free Royal Mail 2nd delivery and I think 1 was "eBay Premium Service" with the badge next to it.

MY tips are click on there username and check there negative reviews for the last month and If theres lots of "Item was not delivered or recieved" then dont buy Item. yes Ebay will give me my money back but so annoying when I find out its a scam SELLER

    Ebay premium service is about offering 1 day dispatch and an expedited option, it doesn't mean the seller is better or worse than any other.

    SD cards are something I would only buy from a reputable store.

    Never buy a SD card ebay. 99% of them are fake.

    Yes, there are plenty of scammers on eBay.
    I think most people know to check for a sellers feedback .

    I purchased 2 from 2 different Buyers in December and had no problems, yes Ive noticed lots of reviews today about FAKE cards when I done some research today, anyway Im going to purchase them from Tesco supermarket because there actually near same price as Ebay these days but a while back memory cards where at least twice as much in the shops compared to online, thankyou
