Is this 32GB DataTraveler 100 flash drive sold on ebay genuine?

We wonder whether this 32GB DataTraveler 100 flash drive sold on ebay by sue.234 is genuine or not. It just seems a little too cheap to us which makes us uneasy. Serial numbers for high capacity Kingston flash drives can be checked with the company to ensure they are not counterfeits.

As usual we strongly advise ebayers to test all flash memory with the free program h2testw.

These 16GB flash drives on ebay USA seem a bit too cheap

We think the 16GB flash drives listed by rawpower371 are too cheap to be genuine and suspect they may turn out to be fake capacity drives purchased by the seller from a fraudulent supplier. The seller may be unaware there could be a problem.

We doubt that these flash drives on ebay are genuinely 128GB

We very much doubt that these are genuinely 128GB flash drives as there are only currently a limited number of models of this capacity available and we have not come across this one elsewhere on the Internet. We could possibly be wrong about this but we will be very surprised indeed if they prove to be genuine.

Ebay member continues listing fakes despite warnings

Ebay member scotty_vhs was warned by at least two other kind ebayers that these were not faulty but counterfeit. At least one of the ebayers pointed out that selling these was illegal and gave the seller advice about getting a refund from the supplier. It seems neither of these members got any response from scotty_vhs.

Apparently scotty_vhs is a rather selfish person whose only concern is trying to get some of the money outlaid on these back and hang the consequences for anyone else. As usual we strongly advise ebayers to test all flash memory with the free program h2testw.

Sandisk flash drive sold on ebay seems a bit cheap

This Sandisk flash drive was sold by biggincarp for a rather lower price than we would expect which makes us wonder if they could be counterfeits purchase from a fraudulent wholesaler. These should have individual serial numbers which can be checked with Sandisk to ensure they are genuine.

UK ebayer with private sale for 64GB Corsair Voyager

If the 64GB Corsair Voyager USB flash drives in this listing from ukregistrations are genuine then why is the seller using a private sale? When it comes to the sale of flash memory private sales are usually an indication of fraud.

This ebay member previously sold one as a 4GB drive saying that it was incorrectly packaged as 64GB – though in the listing the seller said the packaging was unopened. If the packaging was unopened how did the seller know it was 4GB rather than 64GB and how does the seller know these are any different?

We are very dubious about this listing. As usual we strongly advise ebayers to test all flash memory with the free program h2testw.

A very dangerous ebay listing by a member in France

We consider this to be a particularly dangerous listing. Why? – because not only has seller kikilibi* been shopping in fake flash land and brought back a large stash of counterfeit 64GB DataTraveler 150 flash drives but this ebay member is listing them in lots of 10. We suspect the seller knows these are fakes as a private listing is being used.

This means for every sale there will be 10 users (instead of the usual 1) who end up with counterfeit and fake capacity flash memory which will destroy their files. Horrifically, there is a good chance (particularly at this time of year) that some of the buyers could be teachers buying them to use with students. Bye bye student assignments.

It is highly likely that some buyers will be doing so to re-sell individually on ebay – in which case there will be 11 victims – the original buyer (who is likely to end up with negs and possibly suspension) and the 10 this person sells on to. Please folks – be aware you cannot buy genuine flash drives at this sort of price!

UK seller continues to sell counterfeit Kingston on ebay

Seller markzta2006 is one of several UK ebay members who have not taken the hint when their listings for counterfeit Kingston DataTraveler were removed by ebay as a result of pressure from Kingston. Rather than ceasing their sales these ebayers continued listing their fakes.

Do these sellers think ebay removed their listings for fun? They did not. The listings were removed because the selllers were listing counterfeit and fake capacity items. If you bought a Kingston DataTraveler flash drive and is has vanished from your won list it is because it is a counterfeit removed by ebay.

Claim a refund immediately – in cases like this you should not have much trouble getting your refund as ebay knows the items are counterfeit. If you have problems with PayPal ebay customer services should be able to help.
