32Gb Wireless USB flash disk.
New, genuine in sealed boxes.
This eBay seller has plenty of positive feedback & this is the cheapest on eBay and probably in the country works great with tablets as expandable memory for ones that don’t have the factory capability such as ios.
These units have a small flap where you can eject and exchange the flash cards with others.
Great xmas stocking filler!
Shipped from Sydney via AustPost or pickup at Botany weekdays.
$52AUD free shipping from sydney apparently.
JV comments?
"Please note that this item is sold as is NO returns."
This is not legal…
https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees…
"It is against the law for businesses to tell you or show signs stating that they do not give refunds under any circumstances, including for gifts and during sales."
I would never buy from a seller with that attitude…
It's also against PayPal T&C's
Actually after November 18th, you (everyone) will have to offer 180 days return for sales with PayPal. Yep, one hundred and eighty days.
This is not legal…
Is the seller a registered business?
Is the seller a registered business?
Based in Australia
Over 3,000 sales…

If they're not registered, they're probably breaking even more laws…
@jv: That's not relevant is it? If the seller isn't a registered business, then any rules that cover businesses do not apply.
Whether or not he's paying tax or whatever isn't relevant. You still won't have a leg to stand on as you did not buy the item from a registered business.
I don't see an ABN listed and a google doesn't turn up with a company name.
@eug:

Even if they are a sole trader they are required to have an ABN, they are a business.
A business does not need to also be a company

You can have an ABN and not be registered for CGT…
@jv:
Even if they are a sole trader they are required to have an ABN, they are a business.
Once again, completely irrelevant. If the seller did not register for anything, then they may be breaking the law, but it doesn't change the fact that you bought the item from an individual and not a business.
@eug:
but it doesn't change the fact that you bought the item from an individual and not a business.
If you are running a business, you are required to follow the ACCC laws…
A Sole traders IS a business and are required to follow ACCC laws.
@jv:
If you are running a business,
Stop changing the subject to try and make it look like you were right.
An individual can be any random person on the street who did not register as a sole trader. Any individual can sell on ebay. You do not have to be a sole trader or a registered business to sell on ebay.
If you buy an item from an individual, then those laws you mentioned that cover businesses do not apply.
It doesn't matter if the individual is breaking laws - it does not change the fact that you purchased the item from an individual, not a business or a sole trader.
At the time it was not established whether or not the seller was a business or not. Now that the seller has provided more information, all this is moot.
@eug:
An individual can be any random person on the street who did not register as a sole trade
Not if they've sold over 3000 items.
They are a business, regardless of whether they are registered or not.
@jv:

Ok then, I hope one day you have to convince Fair Trading to take action against an individual.
@eug:
I actually think JV is right. If you arr making money on something that is more than a hobby, you need to be registered as a business and pay tax.
In any case, following your point, an entity can avoid all consumer laws simply by not registering a business. In that case, i can set up a dodgy store and list absolute ridiculous bargains, ipads for $200, sell 1000 of them over a weekend and send fake plastic tablets or broken ipads. Sorry, no refund for any reason and I'm not a business so you can't take any action against me. Easy $200K.
Luckily life doesn't work like that.
If you arr making money on something that is more than a hobby, you need to be registered as a business and pay tax.
Yes that is correct, but that wasn't the question. It wasn't known whether or not the seller was registered as a business or not.
i can set up a dodgy store and list absolute ridiculous bargains, ipads for $200, sell 1000 of them over a weekend and send fake plastic tablets or broken ipads.
That is outright fraud and is very different to selling genuine products but not allowing refunds.
If someone sent you a fake plastic tablet for $200, the police will listen to you.
But if you went to the police and told them you want to lodge a report saying "There is an individual on ebay selling items but not allowing refunds", they're not going to take you seriously.
An individual who isn't registered as anything can buy and sell things on ebay without being covered by those consumer laws. If you went and sold something on ebay right now and did not allow refunds, nobody is going to report you to Fair Trading because you are not a business. You are allowed to say that.
An ebay seller technically (not legally) does not have to register as a business or sole trader even if they sell 3,000 items - ebay will allow them to. Of course if the ATO or some other govt department starts getting suspicious, then the seller will be in trouble.
But that doesn't change the fact that you purchased the item from an individual, not a business or sole trader, therefore OFT rules would not apply.
You can try and bring them to court if you have lots of time I suppose.
@eug:

google it…
they've done it before….
But that doesn't change the fact that you purchased the item from an individual, not a business or sole trader, therefore OFT rules would not apply.
Perhaps for a single private purchase, or a garage sale etc, but not from someone on ebay who is trading in Australia and sold over 3000 items… Even if they do not have an ABN, they are still a business
@jv:

Since you've googled it, why don't you provide the links since it was your point to begin with?

Yes, I agree they would be operating like a business. But until they register as a business, they are not legally a business. They don't have a trading name, an ABN, can't apply for business loans, etc.
Remember that we were talking about the legality of a seller not offering refunds. It is fine for an individual to state that, but not a business. You can try and convince the authorities to treat the individual like a business, but you're going to be in for a long battle for your $50 item.
@jv:
Not if they've sold over 3000 items.
They are a business, regardless of whether they are registered or not.
Bollocks JV, how do you know they have sold over 3000 items? Feedback is from buying and selling. I have over 2000 feedback on ebay so using your logic I'm a business regardless of whether I am registered or not.
I can't believe you can try and claim that a feedback score is an indication of a business or someone selling off excess personal items.
@Maverick-au: A quick look at the seller's eBay store indicates it is not excess personal items unless you consider hundreds of identical/similar enterprise IT equipment items from a warehouse location as personal.
"Please note that this item is sold as is NO returns."
Chemist warehouse does that all the time. We bought some fish oil and an hour later we want to return as we found 20% cheaper elsewhere. But they said they do not know how the package were stored, thus they cannot accept any return. Is it a loophole or illegal?
It's legal. You are not automatically entitled to a refund if you just change your mind.
http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ftw/Consumers/Buying_goods…
They can't say no refunds in ANY situation though, which might be what they did. But they don't have to give you a refund if you simply change your mind.
OP, please update to say it is AU$52 with free standard postage from NSW.
I have the 64gb one from Amazon (cost me about AU$92) and it is totally worth it. Works great with my iDevices and the new update to the software now integrates with VLC even better.
You can also remove the 32gb card and replace it with a 64 or possibly 128 if you need more space. Definitely consider buying one if you are in the market for one of these babys.
Price seems a little too good to be true.
You can pick them up if you are worried.
More concerned about them being counterfeit items. Not easy to tell.
More concerned about them being counterfeit items.
Possibly why they don't want any returns…
Pick it up we have the packing slip from a large local distributor which the boys would be happy to show you. This is just excess stock we dont want to carry and we just move it as quick as possible.
No returns, No guarantee, breaching Ebay/Paypal rules and on top of that sockpuppeting - a neg from me
No return even if DOA?
Nope…
Please note that this item is sold as is NO returns.
If you do not agree with the terms please do not bid.
Why would anyone buy from such a dodgy business…
Hi all,
Just to clarify a few things….
This is the FIRST deal post ive ever done so apologies for any errors.
We deal mainly with used IT equipment and quite rarely with new items such as these.
These items were purchased from a local SanDisk IT distributor, should anybody have any concerns please do collect the items and ill show you the packing slip from the major Sydney based reputable distributor.
We are located in Botany, NSW
I understand everybody here is after a deal, we simply just want to clear this stock to get the money back on it as we were quite reluctant to take this stock to begin with.
Ill happily refund DOA, and for those who have already purchased your items will go out in tomorrows post.
We are not in the business of cheating people its that simple. Yes we do have an ABN, yes we do pay tax, yes the goods are real and yes ill refund DOA's.
Thanks
Ill happily refund DOA
Then why do you break Australian Consumer Law by stating
"Please note that this item is sold as is NO returns."
Also, what if the item fails under warranty ???
The error of not stating your associated with the business from the start is un-forgiveable in my books.
Since there is a great big 'L' listed on this post, then its understandable.
When did you decide you will refund DOAs? Before or after you encountered dislike here for the terms within your eBay listing? Will that listing be altered to reflect this new state of affairs? Or must other eBay members accept a greater risk?
Tell the hand in this sockpuppet to stop breaching consumer law and you may have a deal.
I think the $19 Vodafone Pocket Wifi 3G hotspot from this deal, manufactured by Huawei - model R208, which also has a microSD card slot can do a similar job albeit in a larger/heavier form factor, though I don't know whether it can connect to an existing network like the SanDisk so the client needs not flip-flop between the two for Internet access. Anyone care to confirm?
it's very likely that this stick will have special protocols which will serve/communicate nicely with various different platforms. the huawei modem only communicates over a webpage or standard windwos network browsing. this means more than likely the huawei will not serve media to your iOS devices easily.
It can't unfortunately, how I wish it could. Most of these 3G / 4G modems come with a microsd slot but accessing it is a right pain in the arse.
Gotcha, thanks for responding. Yeah, it's specified to have iOS and Android apps support for accessing the drive. Bought one for local pickup because it's cheap and nearby for me.
whats the address for pick-up? thanks
Bought one which arrived yesterday.
Very happy with product. I'm thinking about buying 2 more as gifts if you'd combine postage?
Thanks mate. the boys i assume have replied on ebay regarding combined postage
bought 1 as well, shipped same day overnight. very impressed.
will play with this and might replace the clunky android tablet with the ipad for holiday trips if streaming for the kids works well.
Price?
