Yup. The street bazaar in Amazon is quickly turning into a hawkers market where you have to know you’re buying a fake Rolex and negotiate accordingly. The problem is that no one in the general public knows this.

A cursory glance around AliExpress shows SD cards with “decorative” labels - and straight up fakes. The problem you get is that any joe blow can buy from Ali- resell on Amazon or elsewhere - and be truthful in saying that he was trusting his seller.

Small anecdote, but I have had success buying accurate capacity Samsung microSD cards on AliExpress. Just pick the seller with the most sales.
