Avoid any eBay seller for items based on flash memory technology when “No Returns” is inserted into listings on eBay. If a seller demonstrates no confidence in their product, you as a buyer should also demonstrate no confidence toward them.

If the product is fake and counterfeit flash memory the new rules do not require you to return the item in the first place. If the item is a brand name counterfeit you could violate the postal laws in your country and find yourself engaging in a criminal offence, even if unknowingly.

Kingston Technologies is one brand name that stands out, providing so many victims of counterfeit flash memory with verification that the items purchased were indeed fakes, counterfeits. They have made this effort to assist buyers from returning items and committing a criminal offence themselves!
