NEED OPINIONS! Is it safe to buy electronics on eBay from CHINA?
YES/NO
Should I buy an electronic on eBay from China? Is it safe?
---
Additional info:
I'm looking for a battery case for my iPhone 5, went shopping today and the ones I found were had warranty, came with customer service, you know the safe kind, but a bit pricey.
I went home and searched on eBay, and I got results for cases like, $10! Dirt cheap! But I'm a bit worried it might explode.
Should I go back to the store for the safe (pricey) one? Or just get one on eBay?
*facepalm* oh i can't get enough of lazy people who don't do their research… And are bigoted against china.
research the seller.ask them questions.see what their feedback is.
do the research with others on ebay also.see who has what and who's got the best prices, products.
how are we suppose to know, we all have different experiences from ebay.
i shop from china all the time. It's the same with any other country.goes with the good and the bad, ON YOUR term.
If you want mediocre products then go for it
I have purchased cell phone batteries on Ebay from China for a HTC Thunderbolt.
First, I made sure that the seller had at least 98% positive feedback and no recent negative feedback about the item I was purchasing.
To answer your question, yes, it is SAFE. Shipping takes a couple days longer but it is safe.
HOWEVER, the quality is below average. You get what you pay for. My batteries worked fine but after about three months I noticed them losing their charging power. It would take much longer to charge them and would die quicker than the HTC battery the phone came with.
I think your going to find most things no matter where you buy them are going to be from China. I also think Amazon has the same things at a cheaper price.
No way!
It's perfectly safe to buy from China. Just make sure the seller has like more than 98% feedback. BUT there's a huge downside, yes it's really cheap but the quality will be nothing like your average electronic store in your local neighborhood. I bought a bunch of phone chargers for like 2 bucks but they all broke in like 2 weeks or less. However, some stuff I bought online and actually work and definitely worth it.
- Need Fashion Lovers Opinions? I have an online store that is doing great. On the site you can shop many different online stores (130+) all on one site. We're now thinking of creating an iphone app for this for customers to shop. Do you think this would be a great idea? Would you download it? Also we will have a community for our users to share photos and style tips with each other.
- Is it safe to buy cheap iphone cases on ebay? (read description)? I found a case that I want for 40 bucks plus 10 dollar shipping, it is usually 124 dollars from the official site, the ebay user has a lot of feedback and it says he has a 100% positive feedback. Is it safe to buy this product? What are the chances of it being a fake? He has good reviews?
- Is it safe to buy an iphone 5s from a china wesite? I want an unlocked iphone 5s really bad and i was looking and saw some really cheap $100-$150 iphones on aliexpress.com, a chinese website that has really cheap stuff. I'm wondering if this stuff is legit or if these are just models and this is fake. I want to know if this is a good decision. I really don't want to get scammed.
