I bought a 64GB USB Flash Drive from a seller on eBay. The 1st time I tried formatting it the drive has error message "This Drive Is Write_Protected". I looked at the drive there is no switch to remove the write protection. The drive has TOSHIBA company name on it. The item number is 1129DA0800J2JMK in a white plastic case. I contacted TOSHIBA. It was determined that the product is a knock-off item. TOSHIBA never manufactured a 64GB USB Flash Drive in white plastic case. TOSHIBA only manufactures a 32GB USB Flash Drive in white plastic case. TOSHIBA manufactures a 64GB USB Flash Drive in black case. I contacted eBay Customer Service. Ebay told me that since I bought the drive in 03/28/2013. I can't file a complaint against the seller. The seller has a 98.5% positive feedback on eBay. The seller is below.

98.5% positive feedback
I looked up the knock-off item #1129DA0800J2JMK on Google search. I discovered that many other consumers had the same bad experience I have. The drive is not usable once it can not be formatted. Other consumers like myself have been victimized by eBay and its sellers.
I asked eBay how eBay allows this seller to have a 98.5% positive feedback. Ebay responded that eBay has nothing to do with the feed-backs. Customers did them within 60 days of their purchase. eBay is promoting fraudulent and knock off sellers while making commissions on their sales. eBay allows its sellers to deceive the customers. I'LL NEVER BUY FROM eBAY AGAIN because of their flawed business practice to victimize unknowing consumers while making money off fraudulent sellers by promoting them on their website as a legitimate U.S. company, eBay. eBay's business practice is hugely flawed to use the U.S. company as a front to promote fraudulent sellers. BE VERY CAREFUL BUYING FROM eBAY !!!!!
BUYER BEWARE BUYING FROM eBAY!!! You only have 60 days to file any complaint after purchase. If the item is bad after 60 days, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! as told by eBay customer service dept.
