Buyers beware. Micro SD card scams.

Did you check that he had de-listed the other fakes ?

Yes, they've been delisted, but there is the Gigastone 128GB that's still for sale, but I suspect they're dodgy too.

 

[true_gamer]

I'm not saying this is the case, however you need to at least consider that you might not be the first person to report a fake and be given that spiel by the seller. I mean think about it, look how quickly he turned you around.

Again, that may not actually be the case but..

I've not spoke to eBay about removing the negative feedback I have left just yet. Was going to sort it on Tuesday.

But the thought did cross my mind, hence me asking the question about other people's thoughts.

I got a refund today, and the guy sent me this message.



Do you think he's being genuine here, and do as he asked?

No chance, leave your comment on there.

No chance, leave your comment on there.

This.

 

[true_gamer]

Having had time to think about it, I think it is best to leave the negative feedback so other people don't get burnt buying a counterfeit SD card.

 

[Potty27]

Sounds like a genuine chap to me, ebay resellers get burnt too and it sounds like he has been.

Personally I would rather give someone like this benefit of the doubt and be wrong, than screw them for a genuine mistake that has already cost them. As I would hope others would treat me were I the one making the mistake...

No chance mate, totally dodgy, don't remove the comments.

 

[Talasour]

Just for the principal of you having to request your money back I wouldn't remove the negative feedback.

 

[true_gamer]

I've left the negative feedback how it is. I feel it was justifiable, and will make others more wary when it come to buying removable storage.

This brings me back to the days of this happening to usb Impressed they still haven't given up.

 

[true_gamer]

Certainly, though I've never experienced a dodgy USB stick before.

It's an accurate reflection of your purchase, don't feel bad about it - you did everything you're supposed to (besides buying not memory from reputable places).

Had a similar experience.

Card was unable to format in my camera bit worked on PC and phone. Then read the spiel on the card and picked up a couple of errors.

Then did a speed test which was way off. Then ascertained that Samsung SD cards have a white edging whilst this was black.

Sent a message to seller. Return was accepted in a couple of hours. Will also leave negative feedback

Hasn't this been happening for letting last 10 years?

If not longer. How old is that picture of a USB hard drive enclosure with the metal nuts and a flash drive taped down in it?
