People selling fakes on Ebay - Bought two Sandisk Ultra 32 gig micro sd cards (aussie seller) a couple of weeks ago for my Dashcam & Gopro, not a bad price, $14.00 each. Alarm bells should have gone off then. Spent last weekend driving & recording some tracks only to find that the cameras were only recording about 40 minutes instead of around 2 1/2 hours. Get to the campsite to find most of the vision corrupted.

They were supposed to be high speed cards, I thought that might be the problem, too fast for the cameras. After stuffing around for a couple of days doing some research I found that fake SD cards are common on Ebay. Downloaded a testing program & sure enough only 7.5 gig available on the cards. Hours of driving for nothing!

Seems that they take an 8 gig card & reconfigure it to say it has 32 gig of storage, computer & cameras think it has 32 & keep trying to write to it, so when you look at the files they are all there, you just cant do anything with them (except delete).

They looked real enough when they arrived. Should have checked the seller's feedback, plenty of negative comments about selling fake cards. Have requested a refund.........will have to see how they respond.

Buyers beware!

I got caught out the same way several years ago, went on a holiday and took lots of photos and when I tried to put them on the computer only 1 in 4 worked.
I will never buy any SD cards or USB's on ebay after that.

I never buy the sandisk cards anymore, too many issues - and those weren't fake ones either............... I tend to stick to samsung cards these days and not had any issues.

Even the Samsung ones are being faked from what I read today. Will only buy from known suppliers from now on.

Ordering something from China, medium sized parcel and a DVD sized envelope parcel from Melbourne on the same day. Receive tracking/sent notice for both the next morning... The parcel from China arrives 2 days earlier before the item from Melbourne... And then salt on wound, at the same time, on the news supposedly this Auspost boss is earning a squillion... There is a flaw in the system somewhere.

Damn mate. Hopefully doesn't come down to that but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Was in similar position last you as you may remember and patrol nearly ended up on the block ...
