  • I've used www.picstop.co.uk several times and found them excellent.

    With ebay, not only do you risk buying a fake(which you won't find out until far too late) but when you factor in postage their prices aren't always that great.

    Amazon can be just as bad as that is a Marketplace seller and they sell fakes same as Ebay , Ebuyer is only £4.49 delivered for a 1gb card

    Just looking at Playstation memory on ebay. The postage costs are extortionate!

    1 memory card, and some of these 'powersellers' are charging around £4 - £8 for P&P!!!

    A more realistic P&P cost would be £1-1.50.

    Fee avoidance if ever I've seen it!

    Thats because even though the listing is here in the UK and the actual item is probably coming from HK, I have just bought 2 micro SD cards from a UK Seller but the posting time is 7-14 days which means they will be coming from HK and hopefully should be here next week some time.
  • If Play sell a 2gb sd card for £7.99 or £14.99 for a 4gb inc postage, could anyone on ebay actually beat that with postage added?
    You can't go wrong with carpet bombing...
