Posted by KittyFireFlash on May 15, 2009
wholeselling-auctions is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives, MP Players and Memory Cards. Based in Hong Kong wholeselling-auctions is an old fake flash seller, now using private auction listings.
The first documented fake was in June 2008. wholeselling-auctions is very skilled and slippery in selling false capacity items. He knows exactly what he is selling. His dumps in volume. When the heat turns up, he will hide in his fake flash shell, quietly waiting for a new opportunity.
In the fall of 2008 wholeselling-auctions managed to elude SOSFakeFlash and victims by closing his fake flash shop. No alert was ever published, but he was added on the fake flash honour role – the list of eBay fake flash sellers.

Why on earth are ebay allowing this sort of fraud to continue? Don’t they realise that people will stop buying on their site if they don’t start to fulfil their promises about buyer protection. No customers = no profit in the end. Are they stupid or what??

The 16gb noname SDHC card (marked as 1918 here) is a fake one. It is 4gb only. Trying to fix, but I haven’t found the right tool yet.

I too have been sold the 16gb SDHC card (1918) that’s only really 4gb. If you download the “HP Drive Key Boot Utility” (google it), you will find that it works a treat on these cards, and will happily convert it to its REAL cpacity.
“Stunned” is right – I certainly won’t be buying any more memory off ebay. Ever.

I too have received a fake 16GB SD card from this seller, and paypal is currently asking me to proof that the card is fake by a “professional” be fore they wil consider a refund?!?!?!
Anyone got any idea to what I should do?

This seems to be a new tactic on the part of Paypal to get out of refunding people. They know very well what a fake or false capacity item is. We are going to have to write a post on this. At the moment you can take a print out of your output to a local store, along with your camera and fake card and show them what paypal is putting you through. Ask them if they will write something attesting to the fact that it is a fake.

I have tried to do that in a computer shop but they will not be able to comment on an item not supply/sold by them. Simular answers from another shop.
Does anyone here know what type of software I can use to resize the card back to normal(4GB) compacity so that I will stil be able to use the card?
