Buyer Beware: eBay Micro SD cards

Don't be an idiot like I was.
Before you buy any micro SD cards on eBay, make sure the seller is *not* listed on this website:

In fact, if any mods are listening, could you please pin this thread? I know some of the forums for other devices have threads on this subject, but if they sink, nobody will get the warning.
Thanks.

or you could just avoid buying flash from ebay all together.

Whatever works.
I was wandering around my hometown yesterday pricing 16GB cards. The cheapest price in a shop was EU80 -- nearly $100.
I believe there are reputable sellers on ebay selling for less than half that.

I got my 16gb card for 2.50$

That's great, but be careful. The biggest scam out there is 2 and 4gb cards programmed to look like 16gb to your operating system. The only way to test them is with a free utility called h2testw.
Hopefully your card is a good one. Mine turned out to be 2gb.

There are a lot of Kingston 32GB microsd cards being sold out of the US via Ebay for $199+, and they're all fake. Only Sandisk have released the 32GB versions.
Be warned..

For those in the US, just buy from Newegg. I got 3 16 GB microSD cards for $41 apiece.

you can also tell by filling up the card
if it doesn't go past 2gb, it's not a 16gb card

Newegg was selling Fake Intel processors only a few weeks back. No one can be trusted

Amazon for flash
I prefer to buy from Amazon as they tend to shift the fake sellers off the marketplace quickly.. just bought a 16gb micro for £21.00

5 week delivery though verb i have just checked my 16gb from ebay and it was fake paypal claim gone in cheers op

Better to wait...
I've not touched eBay memory cards since I bought a Sony from a 'trusted' seller. Turned out to be a cheap knock off. I had my money back in a day after suggesting to the seller that I'd be contacting Sony's fraud investigations team if I didn't get prompt action.
Then I contacted them anyway

They "Weren't just Selling them".
Their supplier sent them a batch of fake CPUs. Once new-egg discovered the error, they refunded money and offered discounts and also dropped the supplier.
It was clearly an accident.

wth. You sound like you work for a certain political spin machine.
Clearly, anyone with half a brain, can see that Newegg expediently rectified the situation. If anything, this situation with the bunk processors would put Newegg in an even more trustworthy position than they were prior to this unfortunate incident.

i recommend newegg we have 4 a-data 16gb class 6 cards from them.. work great.. stay away from 16gb sandisk cards.. i have had 5 failures with these (their 8gb cards work fine though)

I bought two Sandisk 16gb Class 6 cards for £40 each from a Asian in Canada. When I received, I benchmarked them & found that they didn't even perform at a class 2 level.
I put on a claim on ebay & contacted seller. The seller said that there are alot of fakes on ebay & that I has sold thousand in his store without any complaints. I got a full refund.
I bought a Genuine Team 16GB Microsd Class 6 from another seller ebay id: taiwanlien. I have benchmarked it and everything.
If anybody does want to buy memory from ebay buy it from this seller taiwanlien.
Thanks

Micro Sd help buying off ebay uk

Heyy
I wanted to buy a micro sd card in UK for.my nexus one possibly 16gb or 32gb...i looked over at ebay and price of 32gb is.quite weird as its only under £25 and 16gb is of about £20...has any of u bought it from ebay uk before?? I need to be sure if the.cards.are not fake
Thanks

90% of them are fake so be careful do research and go on and buy one if you like to gamble.

Agreed.
It's probably fake. Most people are not stupid. Even if they are not tech savvy they can easily find out what an item is worth and charge appropriately.

Can anyone recommend a Ebay or Amazon seller to buy a 32 or 64gb SD card from?

I bougt one of Ebay but it was a fake., after a month or so my pictures got the grey box

Are you UK based or not?

If you are in the U.K try 7dayshop.com or mymemory.co.uk or picstop.co.uk, I have been using them for years and in the respect of 7dayshop, their own brand is also trustworthy.

Good call, was going to recommend 7day also! :highfive:
Their 64GB micro sdcard is only £22, but out of stock at the moment, their 32GB card is also reasonable at £13.

I would only buy a card on Amazon if it was "SOLD" and "FULFILLED" by Amazon.
I would not buy one that was only fulfilled by Amazon.
Never from eBAY.
I bought a 128GB card from Amazon. -> Amazing...

Someone else psoted this, and its currently out of stock but worth keeping an eye on.

local stores are best. However they don't have all sd cards you can find on the internet, but they have class 10, 6, 4 and 2 sd cards.
I have bought a class 6 16gb for 20 euro, samsung mark, never had problems with it. Only one time the partition was damaged (RAW partition), fortunately I could recover my data with TestDisk

I bought this one (32GB) a week ago and it's working great with a one year warranty. Also available in other sizes in this same link. Plus it's inexpensive and brand name. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FIYF0OE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi
I bought a samsung pro 64gb sdxc from ebay member ''evelectron_tech''
Seems to be good store but will see.

I bought a 64GB on amazon through a partner and was burned with an 8GB fake. Even if the card "works" you need to fill it up AND test the files to see if it works. Amazon did refund promptly and I settled on a more reputable seller on Amazon (SoCal Trade). Reviews are your friend, and if it's too new to have any reviews, avoid.

Go to bestbuy and for a few dollars more you can get the sandisk 128gb which is out now. Works beautifully on our S4

How much is the 128GB one?

I got mine for 115.

I recommend
Samsung Electronics 16/32/64GB EVO Micro SDHC 48MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MP32DA/AM)

I'd get this one:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...CKqu_TXKRWJYG1hoCet3w_wcB&Q=&is=REG&A=details
they've got that car in stock cheaper than anywhere and have close to 160,000 positive feedback left and 5 stars. That's a LOT of positive feedback
They're B&H Photography, you can see em on this list:
https://www.google.com/shopping/pro...3&sa=X&ei=TvPJU7DoENK7oQT_u4GIDw&ved=0CFwQ6SQ
but that is the fastest microSD in the world. 50% faster than Sandisk's next fastest. It's likely my next one. Consistent speed of 45 read and write. with bursts of 80 reading, 50 writing

I second this... bought the same one. Works well

apparently Toshiba released a competition-destroying MicroSD. So far all I can see is it appears to be called simply UHS-II. While every other of the top MicroSD cards are UHS-I, this one easily deserves the UHS-II designation. While the previous Title-holders were just shy of 50MB/s. This one in it's 32GB form is 260MB/s read and 240MB/s write. The 64, while significantly slower, is still much faster than the rest, reading at 145MB/s and writing at 130MB/s. Quite impressive. But I can't find a model $ or anywhere selling it
but here's the report on it:
http://www.toshiba.com/taec/news/press_releases/2014/memy_14_708.jsp

where to buy the 16gb model in the US?

ive searched everywhere, bestbuy, ebay, swappa, amazon and even moto. none available. did they really sell out soo well no one offers them? id love to get my hands on one, even used.

it should be available in the motomaker..

It's backordered until November 20th.

to my surprise the 16gb 2gb ram models just showed up today on amazon. i bought the white and it will be here wednesday. i was test driving the bestbuy 1gb model and i was impressed so i assume the 2gb model will run even better.

2gb model available on Amazon.

Just found it. It also does not list this as Global GSM which is confusing, since The specs list them both as XT1540
