No reasonable person could expect Amazon to even be able to do this. And it’s not Amazon’s job to check the boxes sent out by every 3rd party seller on their platform. But if the order is fulfilled by Amazon and they send you a fake card, they will put it right.ģrd party sellers typically won’t. I’ve never experienced a 3rd party seller on Amazon that didn’t try to rip me off over something.Įven Amazon themselves aren’t immune to the occasional screw-up, though, as one person found out when the Canon 1DX Mark II he ordered turned out to be rocks. And 3rd party sellers are the reason I no longer go to Amazon as my first choice for anything. It appears most likely that the card in the unnamed Facebooker’s post above was bought from a 3rd party seller. But once it arrives, it often becomes fairly obvious if you’ve got another card to compare to. These listings will typically use the card manufacturer’s own product photos for their listings. AdvertisementsĪ lot of the time, you don’t know you’re going to receive a fake card until it actually arrives. There are also apps available to display the card’s information to see if it really is genuine, too. The locking tab is also a different colour, and he says that on the reverse side the pins are misaligned and the usual serial number and markings are missing.įake SanDisk (and other manufacturers) cards have been around so long that eBay even has a page to help you identify whether you’ve bought a fake card. Also, the little * is missing next to “95MB/s” for the little “Doesn’t really go as high as 95MB/sec in both directions” disclaimer. You can see above that the font is obviously different from the original card, as well as the general spacing. And what he received was definitely not a genuine card. DIYP has permission to show you the post and images here, but they’ve asked that we remove their name.Īs noted in the post, the card was ordered by a friend. So, this PSA is prompted by a post I saw on Facebook the other day.
