And maybe even prevent you from clicking the wrong "buy now!" button. The first thing to realize is that no one is safe. Obviously buying from Ebay is not the brightest idea, but major (online) stores are also selling fake Sandisk cards; don't think it only happen to others. Anyway, here's what happened to me.

Counterfeits are usually just a way to capitalize on an already established brand name, that is all. That is not all.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29248202 United States 12/10/2012 01:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Check out the two memory cards above. One of them is a counterfeit card while the other is a genuine one. Can you tell which is which? If you can’t, we don’t blame you. Japan-based photography enthusiast Damien Douxchamps couldn’t either until he popped the fake card into his camera and began shooting. The card felt a bit sluggish, so he ran some tests on his computer. Turned out the 60MB/s card was actually slower than his old 45MB/s card.

They have great customer service. If it was fulfilled by them, shipped by them...does not mean it was them, that means it was just put there for storage by another company. They will investigate it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1272733 United States 12/10/2012 02:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are also micro sd cards that are advertised on Amazon that claim , "32gb" of space, but in reality, only have 16 or even 1gb of space. Some times your phone can be tricked into displaying the wrong amount of space available. Chances are, if you're buying from Amazon, they are simply factory defects. However, if you plan on buying SD cards from Ebay, do not put those cards into your phone until you have validated them with a software of your choice. If your card is bogus, Ebay will refund you. None the less, feel free to use h2testw to find out if your SD cards have been corrupted, manipulated or written over. [link to forum.xda-developers.com] ^ not a download link. |

Next weekend the shop across the street runs a sale: "Fabulous Super HiSpeed 48X" CD Burner only...$What.Ev. And so on, till one guy just put up a sign at the computer show "100X CD Burner" $$$,blah-blah etc. They were probably all identical units with sequential ser/nums. |

The only advantage it has is a built in IDE controller, but outside of that everything uses SD now. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7170299 You haven't had a camera ? Why? You are an vampire?

Personally, like most people - as long as they have the lowest price, I couldn't care less if they were run by a troop of necrophiliac cannibals in the process of eating Lindsay Lohan for dinner with a nice chilled bottle of Chardonnay, and simultaneously porking her dead grandma's corpse, which they dug up special just for the occasion. |
