Luis,
Thank you for documenting.
Most memory cards sold on eBay only have a real capacity of 2GB!
We know from the testing results sent in to SOSFakeFlash with the report a fake menu option and testing with H2testw.
Memory cards that have been hacked are almost impossible to repair. They can’t be trusted to record photos!
Considering time and effort, better to spend it Luis, getting a refund from eBay and warning other buyers for the seller.
Memory cards that have been hacked? Fight for a refund, warn other buyers and smash it with a hammer after you get your money back!
Luis document your fake at a website so people become wiser and avoid ebay.
2 GB is the standard real capacity for a fake. Useless.
