Chinese lunatics, with the ease of PayPal's buyer protection these days it's definately worth a punt.

I'm struggling to believe the price on that. Where's the catch, apart from the fact they'll try to get you to pay the postage to return it if it goes wrong? (which buyer protection will prevent for the first 45 days).

Bought, PP Protection better help me out

Do it, you can't lose if you are a buyer on eBay.

Get screwed? No worries, just claim through PayPal, it's a risk I was willing to take.

Lol, they seem to be selling at a rate of perhaps 5-10 units every minute
I gave in and ordered one, we'll see...

And lol @ the usual greedy sods who are ordering 10 at once.

There might be something to pay the courier - can't see it being much more than a fiver.

How strange, they are also selling 256GB pen drives, for £11, they normally retail at ~£200+

Seems unlikely, placed a few orders anyway, what's the worst that could happen

Has anyone had any experience before of claiming back off paypal for goods purchased in China?

256GB pendrive for £11? If it sounds too good to be true...

Those pen drives are fake, they are hundreds to buy genuine, not £50.

The sellers have lots of feedback from generated accounts with zero feedback, and one has a neg for counterfiet goods.

The hard drive man I bought from had no such suspicious feedback.

All his feedback is for jewelry, not one for electronic goods, hacked account?
I once saw an advert for an R1, it was ment to be in london but the reflectors on the forks and all the american cars parked behind sort of made me suspicious. when you saw their feedback it was all for knitting patterns!

tl;dr

What you'll get is a device that reports the size that you've ordered. It'll even let you write a file that size. Good luck reading it off again though.

Not worth the money at all. Don't buy that shit, it will only end in tears. You really going to fill it up with important stuff knowing that it's about to break at any moment?

I don't trust Chinese sellers at all.

[CaNsA]

Looks like we've been scammed.

thank fuk for PayPal Pro-tection
