No idea, cos i duno how is their quality now as i didnt use yoobao powerbank for very long time d. If their quality is similar to those i bought >10 years ago, then yes, totally recommended to buy.

Currently i am using ugreen powerbank. I bought a 10k and choose ugreen cos of the compact size. Very small and light for a 10k mah one. So far so good. Ugreen is famous for being high quality at a reasonable/cheap price.

yup. ugreen is a good brand with reasonable product quality for the cheap price.
i had bought many of their cables or computer accessories as well.

anyway, i just want to try other powerbank brand than xiaomi or baseus. it is cheap anyway. no harm. haha.

i did not buy it from him though becos i realise that shopee yoobao store is selling cheaper.
and importantly, he even opened the sealed package of the powerbank to show me the item and try the fast charging even though i did not even request that. i even tot him not to open but he insisted to open.

then i was wondering, if i do not buy it, are u going to sell this opened item to the next customer as brand new item?
or the one i am about to buy from u was actually an item that you had done the same thing to a previous customer?

Yea.. don't know why they insist to open.

Once I went to Xiaomi shop in Seremban. They display only Xiaomi phones. I just want to test Poco X4 GT.

Then I asked for Poco, they said don't have display. Then the sales lady went inside and brought the box and I said no need to unseal, I'm not sure buying yet.. but she insisted saying it's ok. Then I test the phone, returned it back to her. Didn't buy at all. So I was wondering the same too, what will they do with that set?

I just bersangka baik.. maybe they'll put it for display.

Not sure how powerbank will be handled.

Yeah exactly. I also told the salesperson that I just wanted to see the box. No need to open but he insisted.

I highly doubt that they will resell it as display or second hand even though they have opened it.

Likely that they have their ways to seal back the item to sell as brand new. I dun think any shop will be so ‘kind’ to to sell as display set. If it is labelled as display set, it means the shop must sell it at much cheaper price so to make ppl buying it rite? I doubt any shop will just do like that. every single customer they met they just open it to show him/her and they lost profit immediately? I highly doubt this.

I recently went to a home fair. I saw an older model of Sony tv was selling at much cheaper price and the salesperson told me that it is brand new which I had double confirmed with him that. However, when I probe further about the box condition etc. He told me that the item will be shipped from their branch in KL. Before they do so, they need to ensure that the item is good before shipping so they will open the box to check? How could it be? Why would a shop open a brand new item in box just to do the ‘checking’ before shipping. Then I checked back Lowyat forum here only noticed that there are shops selling demo set item as brand new either online or via platform like Shopee. Then Sony tv has the feature to check the actual running time of the tv, then the buyer noticed that it is actually not brand new. So I also learnt that if u are buying a old model of tv, likely that it is not brand new especially if u are buying from the authorised dealers which many of them are not honest at all. Unless u are really buying a current model which the chance of getting a brand new will then only be higher.

to be fair, i only received the comments from fellow bros here which it is likely to be fake. however, i could not be 100% sure.

anyway, from my refund request screenshot, one will get the clue of it.

conclusion: if anyone is buying a RAM, dun buy online especially online store such as shopee. as suggested by most bros here, just go to reliable physical shops to buy instead.

Boleh je beli online. Just from reputable store or physical store that also has online shops.

Tips for PC parts
1. Never buy from China
2. Check if the shop is the same with the one in the image. I had cases where my friend say "Samsung official store" in the image and he thinks it's legit, but the shop name clearly show it's fake
3. If it's too cheap, then it's fake

ive tried returning few products to shopee previously, as long as your request is backed up with proper evidence (photos/videos), they will refund accordingly

just a bit troublesome have to drop the item to courier and pay shipping fee to shopee's warehouse

Yes that shop sells genuine yoobao powerbanks. The one i bought was a bit pricey back then, but lasted years. But I dunno how the quality is nowadays.

Yoobao still around ah

Yes if "shopee mall" should be reputable seller. But also please check for shipping from location as well. If ship from china more issues about logistics like delays and possible damage

Yes, chat with the seller and tell them the problem you are facing. Attach some photos, then see what is their response.

If they agree to refund, then just raise the refund request and remarks that you already deal with seller for the refund.

If they dont agree, then you left with only 2 options: 1st is to admit that you got scammed and just let it go. 2nd is to continue request the refund and let the shopee handle it (like what you are doing now), but it will take very long time.

Decided to go with the 2nd option. I dun like the feeling of being cheated.
