On April 23th I bought a SanDisk ULTRA II 2GB microSD memory card in eBay to a user named fastmemoryman. 4 weeks later I was contacted by other buyer in the list telling me that he had the suspicion that we have been fooled, and that nobody in the buyer's list had received the micro card. After initial investigation I agree. This blog will serve as a central point for information and communication between affected users to share their experience and getting this situation solved

Buyer's Status and Statistics

The value of merchandise that has not been refunded, and apparently has not arrived yet, including shipping charges, is:

$973

In this post I will update the status of each buyer, either through the feedback they left for fastmemoryman, or resuming what they tell me by email. Notice that eBay only let me contact five eBayers each day, so it will take some time until I am able to contact all of them.

(*) The initial price of the card was $25 but the price was raised on April 25, and buyers marked with an asterisk paid $55 for the card. They also have received most of the cards

And this are the general statistics. Have in mind that 100% of the transactions are older than 20 days.

(*) Note: There are only 41 buyers, but five of them bought 2 cards.

I think this table speaks by itself.

Update 24/May: Good news, 4 more cards arrived today. Only 32 remain missing. I wonder which shipping company is he using...

Update 26/May: Whoah! 10 cards already given to their owners after a month. Rate of success: 22%

Update 29/May: 14 cards arrived. This has to be a world record! If I were USPS I would demand fastmemoryman for suggesting that only 30% of the mail reach their destiny.

Update 05/Jun: Some more buyers answered after a second try. 18 cards have arrived in total althought none was received from the last update. So it seems that shipping it is done, if you are yet waiting I suggest you don't waste your time longer.

Please add my stuff to the list, £95 for a processor that never arrived and which he ignored me once I started asking to start the insurance claim.

Here's the feedback I left for him, and his reply to it!
