The Micro USB cables descriptions seem a bit confused.
The listing above says 24AWG then says 24AWG for 1m and 26AWG for 2m/3m.
The eBay listing says 24AWG in the text but 26AWG in the pictures.
Were you aware that 26AWG is actually smaller wire than 24AWG?
The normal resistance of 26AWG wire is 133 ohms/km so a 3m lead will have a resistance of 0.8 ohms (133/1000*6 - 6m because the power does both ways). At 2A - the rated current - this will drop 1.6V. 24AWG wire is 85 ohms/km so 0.5 ohms or 1V drop (for 3m - 0.33v for 1m).

Can you please confirm how thick the wires are?

I had bad experience with these cables. After using it for couple of months, it's stopped charging my phones and needed to play around with the head to be able to charge.

  You get 3 months warranty on our cables. Please contact us for replacement if your cable is faulty.
  - Bargain4U on 07/08/2014 - 00:40
    
    Your returns are super dodgy by circumventing Australia Post fees. I was asked to return by writing 'return to sender' on a new envelope.
    
    Please drop the parcel into the mail box for return.
    There should be no postage fees needed.
    note: Chargers may apply if you goto the post office.

    - eug on 08/08/2014 - 08:52
      
      Where does it say that?
    - elusive on 08/08/2014 - 14:02
      
      @eug:
      
      Here: http://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees/…
      
      You'll notice a lot of warranty labels now include:
      
      Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
      
      That's actually mandatory text if you provide any other warranty statement (i.e. your warranty cannot provide less than this minimum). I believe stating "3 months" without including this is not allowed, but I'm not a lawyer.
      
      There's some discussion on how it applies for eBay. They seem to think it only applies if it's a business selling through eBay, and QLD and NSW treat it differently. That's why I made a comment earlier about their ABN being cancelled, and it looks like it can have very real implications on ACCC & warranties.
    - eug on 08/08/2014 - 14:21
      
      @elusive:
      That doesn't answer my question. Where does it say "12 months"?
      Nowhere, because it doesn't. They use terms like "reasonable". When you're paying $3 for a cable, the "reasonable" lifespan would be shorter than if you paid $15 for it.
    - elusive on 08/08/2014 - 15:58
      
      @eug:
      
      That's a good point. I can't find any source for the "12 months", now that I'm actually looking for it.
      
      In any case, they should still include the mandatory text (though, I don't see anything officially listing the warranty period except comments here, so… maybe not).

  Same here with my 3m (which only lasted two weeks or so) and after my constant nagging in previous threads, I was advised to send the cable in (at my cost) for a replacement. See previous threads for details. I just don't get the hype around Tikbro and how awesome they are made out to be. Even my Kogan $1 cable (purchased 4 months ago) has outlasted this Tikbro junk and has no typical Tikbro WHS (wonky head syndrome)

Before buying an external charger, ask what the battery is, it's actually really important what it's made of!

Let's put this into perspective, you want a $2 cable to last, what 6mths, 12mths, 24mths? But I'm sure you'll happily pay $4 for that coffee everyday.

I've bought heaps of these over the last few promotions and I've only thrown out one or 2, mostly because of kids jamming them in. Are they the strongest cables? No, but they aren't crap and I do get full charge speeds. Buy some $1 cables from China and see if they last any longer.

Don't let the comments put you off, just put them in perspective.

  No one expecting it to last for ever, but if you are not using that much and it died after 3 months and the cost 2x or 3x other cables. It should last longer than that or why I am paying more?. Also it's commen problem with the head, so the problem is in the head design. If each person has different problem you have your point.
  
  I have couple of Chines cables that I paid 50c each still going strong after 4 months.

have bought half a dozen now. one broke (yes the head) but that was due to user error -_-"

The others are still in use daily with no issues. The main thing with these cables are that they are very competitively priced for what they are imo. Delivers fast charge, at the we're paying for… what more to ask for really.

It's a few bucks, yes there are cheaper ones but they are slow charging and just as prone to breakage…

  That's the cable that comes with the powerbank, completely agree that they suck. The 1/2/3m cables aren't the same, all of mine since the last deal are going well.
  
  The powerbank itself seems really good (bought three, two have been used fairly heavily). It is a shame it is bundled with such a crummy cable though. I wasn't expecting it to come with any so I wasn't too concerned about it as I had bought others in any case.

    Had a closer look at the plug now it's opened, the soldering on the end of two wires which run through the cable is an even worse problem. There is a big glob of it, less than 1mm separating the two from contacting eachother.
    
    If you've got one of these power banks, i'd recommend you throw away the cable.
    
    I'd assume the charger or powerbank would cut off the DC power out if shorted… but you never know, big fire hazard. I wouldn't want to be using one of these cables on plane or unattended
