You just have to see that it is unbranded.
I bought a 32GB card for £10 for my GateWay card the other day. Branded card, in original package from eBay. No problems.
Got a 16GB unbranded a few years back, nothing but problems.
Is $10.44 good for a 64GB Micro SD Card + Adapter?

This is a good 32GB card for its price:

Oh, that card is perfect. Bought directly from trusted retailer anyway, came in original packaging. Etc.
you paid roughly 17 usd for the card but it look nothing like an ultra card which are red and grey I would run it through h2testw regardless. Maybe its an older card that has a much slower write speed but it does say ultra on it.
There are exceptions, newegg and bestbuy both have accounts on ebay and frequently sell their on sale there, reason from buying from ebay rather then the site you bypass tax and usually get free shipping
Just use common sense when shopping, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is

Branded or not, they can send you a fake sandisk card. It's not unheard of.
Yeah, whether or not the card's branded means nothing. Check the amount of negative feedback, total sales, etc. regardless of positive feedback. Lowest you'll probably find a 64GB card for is $25-28; scrutinize hard if it's around $20-22, write it off entirely if it's less.
Buying storage from eBay isn't always a bad idea, it just requires more research than it's usually worth to save a buck or two.

Whenever you buy something on ebay that isn't a daily deal or by an official store (best buy, buy.com, new egg, etc) you judge the seller by their negative feedback, not their positive feedback. Heres the last 10 feedback reviews they got.
Is it always gonna be on sale? My mom will be pissed that I spent $10 on a fake card. I can watch ads and get it for free within a month.
Well, in my case, I checked the reviews. The seller was listed as trusted.
I bought my card, it was cheap enough. It works. In this case, it does not matter.

Okay, and that's great. However false positives exist. Trusted sellers, positive reviews.. They can all be bought. If it's working as advertised? Awesome! Just don't believe every positive.
