I would also take the time to look at the bad reviews. I just got a great deal on a used smart phone for around $9 (USD). I've been pretty hard pressed to find anything really wrong with it besides being older and having minor superficial scratches, it was being sold as junk because of some camera problem, but I have been able to use the camera for photos and videos. The bad reviews for that seller were along the lines of "whoops I clicked bad review" and "some functions on this phone I bought as "junk" don't work", or the seller not responding fast enough to the buyer (even though it is clearly stated on the item pages because of work there may be delays in communications). Some people are overly picky and/or stupid and leave bad reviews for unjustified reasons.

"That's sound like dubious claim" yeah Linus, like 1TB for 15 bucks seems legit.

The funny part is that we're in an era now where a 256GB legit MicroSD is $35 at MicroCenter. Flash memory gets so damn cheap, it's hilarious

Another reason they have positive reviews is damage control. I've bought junk off chinese sellers on Ebay before and if you leave a negative review they immediately start hounding you about how it said in the description you're not allowed to leave negative feedback without contacting them first then they start offering you money back and free replacements until eventually they're basically offering money to leave positive feedback ( I let my negative feedback stand)

To @"iwin" you statement is not really correct (assuming u mean there'd be so much packed into such a small space that it would implode upon itself) is not really a valid concern considering the current stated capacity of the "SD" design specs for "sdxc" a maximum capacity of 2 TB for Micro and regular size (but not mini tho I believe, though I could be wrong since I haven't looked in a while, that they only have the sdHC cap on data size and there are not xc in mini which would make sense because virtually zero currently produced products use mini sds- theyre all micro or full size and even not alot of older ones which most arnt even comparable with SDHC) is 2TB. (Good luck finding them on the market yet tho.)

Here is why people gave positive reviews: 1. Buy this fake product (preferably from Singapore) 2. Realise that it is not a 1TB drive but 32gigs or so 3. Take screenshots and pictures of the product and also ebay's description 4. Raise a dispute against seller on grounds of "item does not match the description", backed by ebay money back guarantee. 5. The seller will likely try to knock off the price but if you keep firmly answering his/her messages demanding a full refund he will eventually yield (1 to 2 weeks). 6. You get your money back in full and you get to keep the product unless seller pays the shipping back (which is absurdly expensive) 7. Reformat the drive (firmware) to match its actual size or use some other means to prevent the drive from overwriting. But even if you do get sub-par drives free this way it's easier just to get extra work and buy a legitimate drive from reliable sources. Even if you fix these drives it is possible that they are old and will not last long anyway.

@@TheByQQ you will be amazed 99.9% of stupid people leave feedbacks JUST BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED THE GOODS (in Aliexpress, if you take the time, half of feedbacks are "LOOKS NICE, I STILL DIDN'T TRIED IT".........probably also 99% of people have no idea they are over-writing their own files multiple times.........they probably will think there was a problem with the file itself......because unless you use it to backup movies, how many pictures you need to take with your camera to reach 32GB of data?...probably they realize the scam months after they bought it, and by then, the seller either fly away, or they can't leave any feedback (eBay has 90 days I think, to reverse or edit or leave a feedback)

Lord English I had one send me a dollar bill with the goods and asked me to leave a nice review. Never did, and I used that dollar on gum.

the same goes for hard drives. I bought a 40G usb drive years ago back in 2000, later found out it was just 20G by opening it up. there was a label stick inside says '20G'....

Every now and then, they DO slip a decent one into the batches of 1Gb-32Gb cards and USB sticks. I bought 10 x 1TB SDcards and 10 x 2TB USB2 sticks for a total outlay of $22AUD. I got 3 x 32GB USB's that load to 28GB of readable data, then at around 29.5GB they begin to overwrite and make all the data unreadable. The other USB are all 8GB. My SDCards are all 16GB except two, of which, one is reliably holding 124GB of data, before corruption, and the last one is a REAL 256GB SDCard. It begins to overwrite around the 245Gb mark. It not surprising when all they do is re-write the controller data on the chip and make it think it's something else. Software tricks are wonderful sources of revenue, like sponsorship ad's. And who would have EVER guessed China would LIE and make fake goods and knock-off's......

There are full time jobs in china that involves giving positive reviews to items on sites like taobao, aliexpress, ebay, etc. This is real, and they send out job offers through text without shame. They send these messages to random emails, and phone numbers in China to get people to sign up. I used to live in China and have received these messages before.

The sale of sale numbers do exists, but there is no pro reviewers. Sellers usually send people big coupons via crowd-sourcing. Then a random ppl buy and no actuall goods is sent or more often sth cheap (e.g: a birck, not the Supreme branded ones) is sent. There is no pro reviewer simply because the reward is really few, just like how much u get when u use GoogleOpinionRewards.And those who connect sellers and reviewers make more money by giving out normal coupons, just like how u2bers do it. Actually it's really a shame that sometimes Chinese can't get real reviews from real customers.

花陽 小泉 What you describe does happen. Although most are for people who are interesting in earning quick bucks, my point is that these sellers really have no shame in committing fraud, and its not good for consumers who are not that versed in online shopping. They are not able to discern between whether something is a good deal or a scam. And I believe that’s something we can both agree on. I just wanted to say that so everyone knows that these kind of things do occur on a regular basis. The key is to caution everyone who is shopping at these sites to be extra careful.

a buddy of mine found a 1T in a bargain bin at a used stuff shop for a few bucks, the owner had no idea what he had or something. I now have it as backup space on my phone. it seems to be working just fine

eBay should kick this scam out and constantly look for them.

You can con the seller out of his money if you buy it from Aliexpress and then test it. Then open a dispute and send the the screenshot of the result. 100% refund

This is why you need a drive analyzer as well as a drive restorer. Some of these are actually pretty cheap for the capacity, just buy a fake SD card and re-flash it to show the correct capacity.

Fun fact: if you connect the sdcard to your mobile, the mobile will recognize the correct size. 2nd fun fact: if you format the sdcard the sdcard in the mobile will remain the correct size.
