I bought a Sony Memory Pro Duo a week or so ago. It was very cheap, though this didn't really ring any alarm bells for me since I wasn't up-to-date on the general going prices of these cards. Also, the seller had very good feedback, and I had good experience in the past with Hong Kong dealers with excellent feedback.
Here is the ebay link.
Some things I noticed after using the memory card: the transfer speed was extremely slow -- I think about 1/4 the speed of what I got with my (genuine) Sandisk card. I have already read this fake guide, and one clear alarm bell is that the MagicGate Supported statement is Unknown. Also, the packaging had dimple staples, rather than the usual elongated staples.
Based on this, I think it's reasonable to conclude I was sold a fake card. Next steps? Shall I contact the e-bay seller, giving him reasonable doubt that somehow he received a bad batch? Should I contact e-bay? Paypal?
