Whole seller. Purchased 10 flash drives advertised as SONY 2.0gig Microvault Flash Drive.
Drives were fake counterfiets and were defective.

Contacted DHgate.com and they offered me $70 of the $135 I paid for the drives. I accepted the offer but they never paid me and will not acknowledge my email requests for the refund.

Scam...

Dhgate.com is a Chinese wholesale website. Dhgate is full of counterfeited products. Sellers may list what they want and list whatever quantity they want. Sellers can send you a totally different product and will eventually end up wining dhgate's crappy dispute centre.

Dhgate is slow to respond to emails. Dhgate is slow to respond to disputes. Dhgate doesn't not seem to care about any of their customers. They will make no effort to contact you or try to resolve your issues unless you use legal threats.

Save yourself months of headaches and unanswered emails. Stay away from dhgate.com. You can search the internet and find many many unsatisfied customers.
