SanDisk fakes from China sold on Ebay.
I bought a SanDisk Extreme III card on Ebay from a vendor in China. When the
card failed and I sent it back to SanDisk for lifetime warranty only to discover it was not a SanDisk product and I am stuck with it. The box and packaging looked liked the real thing |

The box and packaging looked liked the real thing The newsgroups are getting spammed by these types of folks constantly. On the rec.running site they offer shoes. You can get any brand, any color or style, all from their single company plant. They are fakes, knockoffs. Perhaps someone can offer you a way to pursue the abuse in your case. I never deal with Ebay. |

SanDisk fakes from China sold on Ebay.
Very sad that this can happen but really buying from China. There are ways
to check if the auction is on the level, I will put money on that the feed back for this seller was quite low. Ebay have a money back scheme for such events which is handled through Pay Pal, if however Art you paid by some other means it would look on the surface that perhaps two safe gusrds may have been ignored. I buy Sandisk Extream 3 1gb SD from a dealer in the UK for £20.09 including delivery which I bet is not far above of what you paid. Perhaps you should let this group have the name of this supplier so as to help prevent more honest people getting scammed. I spent a great deal on Ebay without problems of any kind, so far anyway...... "Frank Arthur" wrote in message news I bought a SanDisk Extreme III card on Ebay from a vendor in China.

As you probably know, anything that can be counterfeited and has some
value, well be. Epson ink cartridges are counterfeited, clothes are counterfeited, music is bootlegged. Sometimes a good deal, just isn't such a good deal. I had a SanDisk SD flash memory (512mb) fail recently, and they replaced it, after I shipped it to them. They wanted it shipped by registered mail, but that would have cost more than the replacement cost, so I took a chance and sent it by regular mail. They shipped the replacement back by registered mail. Art Frank Arthur wrote: I bought a SanDisk Extreme III card on Ebay from a vendor in China.

Out of interest, was the card anywhere near the speed that a Extreme
Ultra II should have had? I imagine that not was it a counterfeit, but it probably was slow speed flash. Art Shooter wrote: Very sad that this can happen but really buying from China.

SanDisk fakes from China sold on Ebay.
Been caught myself with fake Sandisk CF cards on ebay from local ebay
dealers (havent had a problem with any other products purchased from ebay). If you do a google, even some well known stores have sold fakes, whether they did this deliberately, I don't know. Impossible to tell whether you have a fake card until you open the package and inspect the card. Ebay are very slow to do anything about this, after I reported the dealer that ripped me off with a fake card, he is still dealing and selling fake Sandisk cards and he is still receiving negative feedback and being reported by others for this. Best to buy from a reputable source. Cheers Ron from Downunder "Frank Arthur" wrote in message news I bought a SanDisk Extreme III card on Ebay from a vendor in China.

I accidently skipped a word in my message quoted below.
It was supposed to read: I imagine that not ONLY was it a counterfeit, but it probably was slow speed flash (as well).
