I'm new of dealing with dealer from overseas..

can anyone tell me what should i do??

but.. the 1st thing i thinking is.. CAN I BELIEVE ON HIM ?

because if i buy phone from overseas.. for sure i need to pay him 1st b4 i got the phone..

i'm afraid of scamming.. anyone can guide me ??

why u cant get it here? in LYN also almost all types they got... some more really trustable seller...just my 2cents

if the phone local got i think you better buy it at local
if you buy at oversea, custom might will hold your item for tax & sirim

why? because i can get the phone much more cheaper around 1.6k~

USD 350 = RM1225

but in malaysia i cant find this kind of price. the least is RM2800..

so i'm just thinking of buying phone from overseas

pay using paypal.
buy insurance for the postage.
if anything happen, report to paypal and they will rollback the fund to you if u win the case.
else, buy in ebay.com and pay with paypal. Buy from powerseller and pay for postage which have insurance. Anything happen then u have protection.

USD350? I suggest TS just forget about it, most probably it's a scam. Don't you think the pricing are way too low?

I 2nd that
I hv been using paypal when purchase stuffs from eBay int'l sellers, ofcos powerseller tag only

i dont understand.. paypal?

i understand your dilemma here as i've experienced it before. Better buy thru ebay. Btw, what phone actually do you want?

it looks like a scam site to me, anyway it's up to you whether you think it is worth to take the risk.

i dont understand how to pay with ebay.. or pay pal.. can anyone tell me??

wad i noe is using western union or credit card. @@

he ask me to use western union.. so i'm kinda scare.. because its CASH

Using paypal is advantage to you because you as buyer will be protected. Just buy thru ebay using paypal. And also remember whether the phone that you want worth it or not if you buy outside Malaysia.

about tax can refer here
<Buying/Importing Goods from Overseas>
check previous post ~

the website is just too fishy....
TS, choose either 1:
1. take the risk, pay $ and u might get nothing.... if u get the phone.. ya... hurray for ya... (remember pm me... help me get the X1 which is around RM1600 )
2. spend some more $$$ get the phone u want here... then sleep well


* the shopmania.biz anyone can create an account there... it's free...
and the SE X1 nt yet released... hw come he got stock of 30 sets?

okay thanks..







now.. i'm still wondering what should i do. @@

i also dont know la.. very blur !! @@

i also think that if he is not scammer..

i can earn money from it.. =(

We all mentioned it was a scam. But you still want have a try.

wow...sounds like buying iPhone.
anyway,plz make sure it is both software n hardware unlocked..
if not u have to spend money on turbosim or worst,it can't be used at all...
price so low no nid to c oso noe it's a scam...
buy solid thgs better la...can c ,can feel,wont run away...
don't because of greediness and lose more money

Must be wealthy if one dares to even try such a thing. Money don't grow on trees for most of us bro. The whole things is fishy right from the start and never be hasty when dealing with big big amount of money no matter how good the deal

Eventhought it's seem like a good deal co the price is cheap,but it doesn't make any sense.The risk is high.better check the website to make sure is the company really exist or not.

yeah.. cause tat sounds too good to be true...

sumore.. ur using monies to play (and risk it)...

One of the misgnomers of "Buy from Powerseller" is just because they're a powerseller don't mean that they
cannot cheat you!!!

Wise up & look for the product you're buying, check how long they've been with ebay, check # of feedback
and how many positive vs negative, also how many of the product have they sold?

Say PS has item cheap, they have 23,000 feedback but 30 negative in one month.
How many of those negative were from newbies, how many for cheat etc....
How many of HIGH end product they sell before etc....


Just because you're a powerseller don't mean you can't /won't cheat others.

If you're looking at a USED cell phone stay away from it cos you will probably
get cheated no matter what.

If it's a new cell phone then make sure it's unlocked so you can use here or
you'll pay a good fee for unlocking it.

Time consuming? yea but would you rather cover your back or get cheated?

ebay is not 100% but if u follow the guideline I just described it can help you
in the purchase.

Mojava

aih, willing to use RM1200++ to try..
i wish i got tat much money to throw away~

PROBLEMS occured :

1. Dealer FFK
2. No Warranty Provided
3. Under Tax
4. Re-con(sometimes)

Buy from powerseller and pay via Paypal or their recommended payment options (if you don't have Paypal). Check their reviews and feedback.

I just bought a Blackberry Storm 9530 from Ebay for RM1600, includes shipping + insurance + cukai kastam. Cukai kastam is 10% from the item price.

yup, make sure you read most of the feedbacks. it'll help you alot. and always remember: no such thing as free lunch. if western union, very likely is a scam.

jackloft123 is correct.. do not proceed if it uses western union. most scam use western union.

i do not say western union is unsafe but most US and UK verified seller prefer to use Paypal as their standard mode of payment. Other than that, Paypal does provide insurance and protection for both seller and buyer :-).

They have other modes of payment too if you didnt have Paypal. Ask them for further info.

get a trusted person to buy. like overseas msian or somethhing.of cuz pay commision to him her to deal..who wants to do ur item for free

wow! u really sacrificed urself for the greater cause!
thx!
