Buying Flash Drives On eBay – How To Protect Yourself

Are there a lot of fake flash drives on eBay?

Sadly, the answer is YES!

Does eBay know about the problem?

YES, the internet is drowning in evidence dating back to 2005.

Why doesn’t eBay stop the traffic in false capacity flash drives?

That is something everyone is asking and has been asking for a number of years. Nobody seems to have the answer, but we can guess at reasons.

What is known, is that if enough people file disputes for a fake drive,  it makes a difference. The red lights begin to flash at the dispute console. Some Sellers stop selling entirely, others stop listing these fake drives. The problem is, there are always new Sellers waiting to take their place.

Are there steps you can take to protect your self from becoming a victim of a false capacity drive?

YES!
