Once got a cheap "Sandisk" SD card from an Australian ebay seller, which had much less capacity than what was displayed when it was plugged in.
After I tried to store more and ran into issues, I did some investigation and found out that it was a counterfeit Sandisk.
I emailed a screenshot with proof to the seller. Because of the very good consumer protection laws we have here, I got my money back.

Sometimes a scammer will give money back easily just to avoid a negative review, irrespective of local consumer protections or lack thereof, if they have currently managed to maintain a good rep (via exchanging good reviews with buyers who haven't tested the item yet, or have passed it on as a present and never will test it, from fake reviews, managing to get negative reviews cancelled the harder way, and other trickery).
