Be very very careful buying USB drives from ebay, the majority of so called cheap big size GB drives have there firmware modified to have a lets say a 1GB drive show up on your computer as a 32GB drive etc. Once you try to load more than 1GB on it you will get the message drive is full.
 
I have had fake USB flash dives from eBay before and I personally I wouldn't buy that one as the seller has just joined eBay with feedback from one other person who also has just joined with feedback of zero eBay buyer beware once bitten
 
Bought 2 of the 32GB USB FLASH DRIVES for £19.99 from base.com - Your home for internet shopping delivered today and they are very cheaply made in packaging branded Base.com and made in China on testing both they only hold 3.9 GB of uncorrupted data and any more is corrupt this is one of the signs of a fake drive the properties show them to be 32gb but more likely only 4 gb I have ran the test program H2testw v1.4 with the following results

My conclusion don't buy them !!!!!!! :censored:
 
think ill stick with me large hd drive that ive converted! cost me around £50 for 500gb and as i bought it in a shop i know its genuine!
 
Sorry to hear that mdog, I had a horrible feeling but as you had already purchased did not want to rock the boat and say so, so to speak. I use Amazon for my drives after the same experience as you on a ebay purchase many moons ago.
 
had an email back from a Jason at BASE.COM today " We will happily replace or refund the item you have received if you have found it to be poor quality. We can assure you that these items are not fake and were made for us by Memory Pro." what a joke i googled base.com and fake usb and this fake 32gb usb drive is being discused on other forum sites also warning others not to buy them as they are fake lets hope i get a refund and dont have to fight for it.
