thanks for your help I've done some investigation and found that the card is a fake all be it an extremely good one, i compared it to the other cards i own and visually it was just about perfect. Fortunately my friend bought one at the same time from the same dealer and so we checked the serial numbers and unsurprisingly they were the same confirming they were fake. There is a very good guide on e-bay that clearly points out the things to look for to identify the snides from legitimate.

You guessed it, but from a respectable seller so if it turns out to be fake I can send it back for a refund, but before I do that I would like to be 100% sure it?s fake so would like to learn how to achieve this please?

more then likely, but slim chance it's not fake, but it prolly is a fake, or just a slow slow stick.

So what does it actually mean to have a fake card? I have read up on SD fakes sometime ago and understand that some fakes double the capacity, ie you think your getting a 1GB card but in fact its a 256KB card using compression software to appear as 1GB! The data saved would work fine up until the 256KB point but after that it was a gamble as to whether the rest of the data would remain. Is this the same for duo cards?
Just tested my 1GB ?ProDuo High Speed? card too, again "unknown". I have been using this in my phone for the last year or so, watching 30 min vids and they have been fine, file transfer has also been fast.

some fake cards will work just as well as the real thing, some will die within hours. Its a lottery. But generally fake cards stop working in time and run slower.
I had a fake 2GB, it was fine for about 5 months then died. My official San Disk 2GB has never had a problem.

Just checked my 2GB Sandisk Mirco M2 card and that says "supported", I take it that means its real?
Can anyone comment on whether the fake duo's use compression software as mentioned in my previous post? Wouldn't want to loss those all important saves!

ebay is really dodgy but if you look up the buyers guide on there, it gives you a good idea what to look for. If you purchased by paypal than you are also legally covered to get your money back as the dealer hasn't sold you what they were advertising.

Weak! But in that case my 1gb is more than likely to be a 256KB and yet I have had no probs with that regarding loss of data?

The main problems with fake cards are there inferior build quality resulting in some or even all of the following
Vastly reduced data transfer speed
Once the data is on the card although it appears to work perfectly with the smaller iso's once you put anything larger than 1gb they fail pathetically resulting in the game jerking or unplayable due to the data lag
Reduced life span of the card
Hope this helps a little more but ultimately if you got the card cheap and its doing what you personally require, then there's really no big deal.

Well I got it for just under £40 so I guess that is pretty cheap?
However had I know it would be a fake I would of been happy to pay a bit more.
I'm off on hol for a week now so going to fill the card up and see how it performs.
