I did buy a couple of sticks from a Chinese Ebay seller years ago
and they worked perfectly. It was advertised as second-hand RAM
from a known manufacturer and seemed legit.

I wasn't so lucky with the new USB memory stick I bought from
Aliexpress though, which died after the first attemped write. I got
a refund though, so possibly worth the risk. Though Aliexpress has
got more complicated with refunds these days and caught me out last
time an order failed to arrive at all - on first attempt "wait
longer", then on a later attempt "too late to apply for a refund".
Grr...
