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 shakehead.gif

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.

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.

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.
