Ebay....buying a memory card from hong kong?

[Supergumby5000 5,000+ posts]

My parents sent me a $25 ebay gift card, and i need a new xd picture card for my camera. Theres a whole shitload of these for sale on ebay, where i can get a 2gb card for $20 (not bad for xd picture cards)

anyways, practically 95% of the listed ones are from hong kong, but at the same time, the sellers have good reps

what do you guys think? safe to buy or no?

for example:

i bought one for like 26 bucks or something like that. Worked awesome for like a year. Somehow it became corrupt and it stopped working. Dont know if it was because it was from hongkong or what but thats my story.

It could go both ways really, I have bought a few things off ebay that came from Hong Kong. Came with chinese and english manuals and worked with no problems. The shipping was kind of fast, about 3 days, and they have had great feedback. I'm sure you should be alright...

Real live feedback, I think i'd lean more towards buying it if i was you.

those types of things arnt made in the usa. well not a lot. just about every card your going to buy at best buy or CC is going to be made in china. just do it if they have good feedback.
