Watch out for those dirt cheap high capacity sd cards on ebay ,I am involved with semiconductor business and I can just tell you that there is no way a 16/32gb SD card can be priced that low at the moment ,those dirt cheap ebay 16/32gb sd cards are re-mapped and re-assembled low quality 4/8 gb sd cards that can be purchased for less than $2 dollar in South China

i bought one of those 32gb SDHC cards off ebay. I didnt really care if it was 32 gigs. But to my suprise it was. I got it for 20 bucks shipped. I had to buy a card reader for it. But those are cheap. I think it was 5 bucks shipped. It works like a champ. And for 25 bucks, cant beat it. Havent had one problem with it.

Whats the size of the files you successfully stored in it ? In most cases ,the reader will still show 32GB on it's capacity ,but when you store files more than it's original capacity(4 or 8gb ?) ,the additional files will corrupt .
