but you cant simply say original comes with paper box

there are many out there could bought hard plastic one and confuse by your statement just because of your
logical thinking for now?
to identify fake or not there are couples of info out there can search, and none of it mentioned the box is what kind of material to differentiate original or fake..
+1. there's a lot of blog or website which explains how to differentiate an ori or a fake xiaomi pb. But the best still to buy from xiaomi.
Reason?
heres a scenario.
Seller A have been selling imported set of Xiaomi PB for some time. Not sure whether its fake or ori, but have the same packing as the ori. Because he cannot clear all his current stocks due to the doubts from buyers on ori vs fake. He decided to order from xiaomi malaysia website. with that, he starts telling ppl his stocks are from xiaomi malaysia. (because he got the purchase slip). Upon seeing the proof of purchase from Xiaomi Malaysia, buyers started to buy from him. Now, here's the million dollar question. Can the buyer be assured that the sellers is selling the units he bought recently from xiaomi malaysia? or will he send those current unknown status units he is holding now?
we wont know cos power bank doesnt comes with imei no, unlike the phones.
While not all sellers are as bad as the one I mentioned, but can we be sure the one we bought from is not these type of sellers? Still want to take the risk?
It's up to u.
