Seems to be pretty cheap. 8GB SDHC for ~$11 shipped. Customer service is subpar tho.

Not that good a price for a class 2 card.
Probably really slow, and for that price - probably a fake (they put sub-par chips in branded casings) You'll receive the item, discover it is only 2GBs and most people won't go through the bother of reporting or sending this back.
Not sure if it can be done with these but with some fake usb sticks it will still report the stated capacity but everything after the real capacity will give an error when writing to it.
class 2 is alright on your everyday compact camera as long as you are not taking high reso videos on them but as mentioned by phobaphobic, the price does question the genuinity of the card
These are counterfeit.
how do you know?
Yes, i want to know how can you tell a fake
Dup
OrangeIT….
doubt that it is fakeCare to share your "methods"
Indeed. OrangeIT is established and has multiple brick & mortar shop — I doubt they will sell fake Transcend products.
lol, cheap on ebay + memory card usually equals fake…… But since its orange IT it maybe real……..
For a few dollars more you can get a Class 10 8GB card… I've bought one of these before, it's been working fine for me: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280596…
no bloody way, that's just too cheap to be true
there is no way to tell until you get the package
I've seen so many true counterfiet flash memory products from Australian eBay sellers that I cannot recommend anyone buy any flash memory product via eBay. eBay does not take this type of fraud seriously and after complaints are made the crims are still selling this junk through eBay from within Australia.
Just take it up with the seller then paypal. I have gotten all my money back so for for fake memory.
so… can you prove this is fake…
I think it is fake.
Found the address here:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Transcend-8GB-SD-HC-SDHC-8GB-8G-TS8GS…And through google I searched this "139 York street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia" and got this:
http://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-offices-nsw-sydney…Therefore I think it is fake.
EDIT: Now I am unsure, cos the following one has an image:

From their about page:
Orange IT is a locally based company with a background in wholesale for over 10 years. We have retail shops at both ends of the Sydney City CBD - in Chinatown, Haymarket and in Wynyard opposite the park. Our warehouse and the centre of the online and wholesale operations is located in Auburn.
Definitely not eBay seller based in Hong Kong/Shenzhen.
And through google I searched this “139 York street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia” and got this:
http://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-offices-nsw-sydney…What would that matter? A lot of businesses have a room, suite or whole level leased from a city building.
I've been to the OrangeIT store in Sydney CBD, it's a very small shop. TINY!
I'm guessing they have a warehouse somewhere.Not sure if this is a good deal. What is the difference between brand name microsd and the other brands like A-ram and Team? No one can see your card anyway.
Class 2 is too slow for most usage…
wow. this deal has the worst comment to vote ratio.
Bought Netbook from orangeIT recently, they ship it without Tax Invoice, email them soooo many times without reply.
What the ???
yes…i bought lenovo s10-3 from them too and no receipt/Tax invoice or whatsoever..I doubt they are chinese company based in australia..and their latest feedback is not so good too

I purchased my lenovo s10-3 from the other orangeIT id
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Lenovo-ideapad-Netbook-S10-3-N455-1-6…
i guess the newer id is currently use to sell second or refurb product
customer service is not so good too…i remember last time i rang them to complaint about laptop and they just asked me to call lenovo straight away. bad services. will not buy from them again eventho its cheap
Tax purposes, cash market…
There was an ATO article in the AFR just three days ago.
It's a bit expensive, I bought a 16GB class 10 for $27 from a shop.
Class 2 Spec. That's like, really slow isn't it? But a damn good price; maybe it's a good backup card.
