PMD Time was from WalMart, whereas Sky and Darkness I got from Ebay

I do have an AR, but Sky card don't like it. Its (Sky itself, even before trying to use the AR) corrupted my safe files before, though luckily I wasn't far in anyways. It stopped corrupting saves when I got Eevee. I'm playing on an actual DS Lite. Wifi works apparently, only encountered a glitch with my Shinx partner during Temporal Tower...
 
eBay one is a bootleg. Gawd, there's so much wrong with it.

1. Label looks cheap.
2. Game code is for SM64DS, not Sky (like the Wal-Mart one)
3. Molding is wrong on the back.
4. PCB doesn't look like the legit PCB.
5. Label shows boxart on card, something most cards don't do.
6. Label is too small.

Yep, it's fake. Contact eBay and get a refund.
 
So far Sky has been playing like a Sky, aside from the Temporal Tower partner glitch I've encountered...

Glitch was such: Shinx partner screen ended up flashing like they do when health is in the low, yet health bar was fine. Sprite was jumping, there was no "!" on him. Well he couldn't follow me then & only did 1 damage even if his attack was a super effective, though having reviver seeds fixed it at least 'til the next floor or so...

And Wifi is working on my Sky, should it be?

I think I'll keep this Sky for now (semi-related;I had been reading a PMD creepypasta story which just happened to have eevee as main & shinx as partner, slight creepy when my Sky did that last save file corrupt during then and I ended up as Eevee on newest save file...)

So far no other problems yet...

The glitch might be related to the fact it's a bootleg. I know bootleg NeoGeo games and GBA games have glitchy graphics:

Usually if the bootleggers do a poor bootleg job, they will have issues, like "The Save File is OK/Deleted".

DS bootlegs also refuse to play on newer hardware, as they do more checks and will reject bootlegs/older flashcards.

The only way to avoid bootlegs is to buy games new from Wal-Mart, Best Buy, GameStop, or other big name store. When buying used, also check the game, I've seen boots tossed in the used bins at GameStop, where the employees don't even do the most basic checks.
 
I can't find the thread anymore but a person in 4chan/vp got the same issue in eBay, probably you encountered the same seller than him :I

He opened his cartridge, turns out it was only Micro SD card.

You should try to get a refund, NOW.
