good memory cards?

Dont buy memory cards from Ebay - indeed an unbranded one.

Could easily be a fake which doesnt live up to what you need / short lifespan.

Buy a memory card from a trusted shop and brand, that way you have less chance of loosing your 2GB of photographs if the unbranded breaks due to poor manufacturing.
 
I recently bought a pair of 4GB Sandisk cards from 7dayshop.com for about £10 each, and an 8GB card for £16. Camera shops tend to be devilishly expensive for cards etc.
 
Added to that - they were SD cards which seem to be a tiny bit cheaper....

Amazon + other respected photography online stores can do them slightly cheaper.

Again - you are best of buying a respected and trusted brand from a known retailer just incase you do happen to receive a bog-standard fake from ebay.

A fake what? The seller says they are unbranded, so can't be a fake. Like everything else, you get what you pay for, mostly.
I have one that looks just like the one in the auction, its stuck in my bag for emergencies, on the odd occasion I have used it, it,s fine, has been for 2 years.

Yep, thats rubbish!
 
Buy from reputable dealers. Ordering batteries and memory cards from that flea market ebay is begging for trouble and grief. Amazon is a good place too with competitive prices.
 
Yep, wouldn't buy a card from e-bay

Try Amazon / 7dayshop / Play and some also rec mymemory (although I've not used them). It's also worth looking at Dixons / PCW / Currys etc as sometimes they have good on-line deals and you can collect at store / free del.
