As long as its real thats a good price.
There are a lot of fake cards on ebay though, personally I steer clear of the place.

I agree with bah. Ebay can be a risky place, so I hardly ever use it. However, if all is working fine on your PSP, then that's a great deal.

that's a really good deal

the ffake cards still work, just slow transfer sppeed

Not all fake cards work properly.
True some are just slower, others are lower capacity than rated, others show up on your pc/psp as having the full capacity but some/much of it wont work, others dont work at all.

If your using it for loading things like ps1 games or neogeo cd emulation, just the slower speed can cause slowdowns.

Depends on your luck I guess.

I bought a 512MB Memory stick off eBay for about £30, back when they were costing £50 and the seller had 100% positive rep. But i never got the memory stick and had to claim my money back. I didn't get all of it either. I had two other bad sellers after that when trying to buy a second PSP and now i hardly use eBay.

So just be careful, all of you.

What firmware are you guy's using? I know that on 3.03 OE-B & 3.10 OE-A & A' you can check if its a fake by pressing triangle for info when on the memory stick icon
e.g.
Magic Gate: Supported: Legit

Magic Gate: Unsupported: Fake

Dosen't work on 3.03 OE-C
