Buying from Ebay is not an issue, just test it out as suggested and if it turns out not to be genuine reject it and you get a full refund. Usually much cheaper than other sources, because there is more competition.

All well and good but would you want the hassle if it goes wrong. Having said that I have had a number of fakes off Amazon so nowhere is perfect I guess.

My thoughts are that people checking them and claiming refunds for fakes, helps make it less worth while for the fake makers.

Hopefully so. I think with the 16 and 32gb less likely to be a fake as they are relatively cheap anyway. I had major problems with 128gb ones off Amazon though. Very clever fakes. Everything says they are 128gb even the laptop until you use them and they crash out once 4gb is put on. Theres a little utility somewhere that will check them on arrival but can't remember what it is now. The packaging is also spot on. The Far East are masters at fakes. Went to China once and a month after the Man Utd new kit had been launched it was available everywhere for about £15 for a full strip. Couldn't find any Huddersfield Town ones though which was a bit dissappointing........

Surely a genuine Huddersfield Town strip isn't that much?

The one you've bought is an excellent card for a dashcam and you should be fine buying from Amazon.

The most underestimated micro sd cards are ADATA.
Did some tests separately with two reliable and correct test software and found that ADATA is faster than SanDisk card with ~20% - both write and read.
The cards were class 10 UHS-I UI 32Gb - ADATA and SanDisk
Now I own 3 ADATA micro sd
For ~5 years.
Now one ADATA is used in the android rear mirror where both cameras recorded all of the time on it. One of them in full HD.
