*HELP NEEDED* Ebay thief needs to be reported - General Topics

Ebay seller peepsjw is selling all of xda developers unlocking tools on eBay at £4.95 a go.
He is taking credit for the hard work of the developers & testers from this forum without any regret & having some nice holidays with his profits.
I suggest it is about time this long time eBay thief is closed down.
If you are a active eBay user report his items.
If you want to leave negative feedback, purchase the item & make a formal complaint via PayPal & eBay that you have been sold stolen goods.
The items are also being sent electronically which is an eBay listing violation for uk listings.
Lets shut this thief down.

£205 for XDA II on Ebay? true or fraud? Help!

I find this item selling from Ebay, the no is 4180655748.
I cant believe my eyes, Is this real? it is only price for £205.
There is still one left, so I can not connect with other buyers,
I order one immediately, then I have sent some emails to the seller to ask for when he will send the phone after I send the money, but he only keeps asking me to transfer money from Western Union Local agents to his address,
What can I do? it seems that he is trustable from the ebay id record and he has given me his address detail, but I still do not want to do everything in rush.
please help. Thanks.
This is a hijacked ebay account, asking for western union transfer is against ebay policy, report it to ebay and do NOT send one penny to these robbing bastards.
There is an other auction shown up at once after ending of the last one,
although from different seller,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4180688330&category=32242
itemno: 4180688330
The price is £220.
If anyone have bought this one, I think we can match the address of sellers to make sure the fraud.
No need to match them, I have reported numerous frauds on Ebay, its an every day occurence, high value sought after goods selling for silly money, always western union, the address they give doesnt matter becuase they go to the nearest westen union which can be the money shop, or a pawn broker and collect the money just by showing id of the name they give. This is a definite fraud, the new one is also a fraud, either that or we are dealing with a bunch of mentally deficient people that sell goods at half what they could get anywhere.........and always forget to send the goods after payment.

I've always used Expansys / MobilePlanet. I'm USA so MobilePlanet.
There is some atrocious whining in their forums from - for want of a better term - EXTRAnoobs.
But in my dealings they are professional, rock solid and I've never had any problems.
Onthegosolutions
I have used Maobile Planet in the past and had no specific problems.
For some years not I have been using OntheGoSolutions and I have been pleased because I always know who I am speaking with. Seems to have very little turnover and they are small enough that I can communicate with one person. They are definitley not the cheapest but have at least twice in the past lowered a price for me when I pointed out an advertised lower price elsewhere.
I bought my Raphael online from Expansys Canada... All I can say is the transaction was very easy, and shipping was SUPER FAST!!!
Ordered it Friday afternoon (approx 3pm), after a small billing problem (I gave them a different phone number from the one on my Credit Card account), confirmed the order on Monday morning at 10am (they aren't opened on weekends), I had the device in my hands Tuesday just before noon...
All in all, besides the phone # problem, I'm very happy with the transaction. It was easy, smooth and fast...
Inkino UK
To all in London and southeast
Eugene at Inkino (I never knew I needed one), 48 Tottenham Court Road www.inkino.co.uk is a mine of information on all things HTC. They are one of the few, if only, HTC Ultimate Partners and it shows.
I have bought my Trinity and now Touch Pro from there.
Yes I could probably get a few pounds off here or there but the service and honest opinions I have had from Eugene and his collegues at the sister branch 9 Great Russell Street mean that I will simply not buy from elsewhere. If I have a problem I know I can call up or drop in and I will speak to someone who knows his products inside out and is a straightforward trader.
Pleasure to do business with.
I ordered mine from Expansys UK. I live in Cyprus and Expansys is propably the best choice. Although I should have used Expansys Cyprus, the UK site was 40 Euro cheaper so I went with them. The service is excellent! Prices are among the best in the market. (630 EURO inc. DHL shipping fees).
They support Paypal, which is a big plus in safety matters, and by using DHL you get your phone in record time.
All in all, i am a happy customer=p
I'm in the US and I bought mine from Clove. A tad more expensive, but I was having problems with Google Checkout (which Handtec uses for overseas orders). Clove was a little slow to receiving my order, but once they did they shipped it out within hours. DHL got it to me in 2 days, all the way from UK to California, and by 10am no less.
One thing about Clove (that I appreciated) is that they require you to confirm the order by calling your CC company and requesting the 6-digit charge authorization number for the charge. Maybe it's an extra hassle, but it's nice to know they're serious about your security.
I would order from Clove again, but of course now I have no money.
I'm in the US and purchased from Smart Mobile Gadgets. All was as they said, including Saturday delivery.
I ordered my TP from On the Go Solutions in July. They said they would call and make sure I still wanted it before they would ship. They also shipped the day the said they would, a month in advance. I am very satisfied with the way they do business.
This is a statement of one set of circumstances and does NOT impute or call into question the credibility or otherwise of this particular organization. There may be an explanation - but so far - my client has not received one.
A client of mine bought direct in a Buy It Now eBay auction from a company with a high level of positive feedback with thousands of positive transactions on eBay. Their public site is - Popular Electronics http://www.popularelect.com.
Approx 24 hours after buying eBay declared the auction NULL AND VOID and advised my client that they do not have to pay. eBay stated:
"As eBay removed the item, you are no longer obliged to send payment for it. Please don't send money or respond to any emails from the seller.
If you've sent payment but haven't received the item, please wait a reasonable period of time for delivery. If you don't receive the item, please contact us again by clicking "Contact Us" on any eBay Help page and selecting the following contact options:
Buying and Finding>Fraud and Payment Concerns for Buyers>Item Not Received or Item Not as Described (you paid)"
My client has called and emailed the company direct and not received any replies.
I've carefully reviewed the eBay email and header codes and believe the email is genuine and not a phish. All the auctions that for TouchPRo's that WERE on ebay from this company have disappeared at 9/3/2008 14:00 EDT.
I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Has anyone actually baught anything from tigerCellular out there? If so let us know are they real or fake? thanks... im betting the latter but you never know
2call.nl 5/10
Got my TP from 2call.nl
Price without contract (as I use company sim) was good and delivery was very fast.
However, as my TP came with the know problems (GPS instable and hot, black paint falls off,...), I asked 2call within two weeks after pruchase to take my device back and replace it by a new one.
They refused.
As price and delivery is not the only thing I expect from a retailer of a some hundred euro device, I personally will not buy at 2call.nl again.

Shipped an empty box. Fedex listed weight of package at 1/2 a pound, which is the empty box in a bag!!!!
Seem strange being that he has 100% feedback on ebay.
His rating and the fact that it is a store and not an individual is why i bought it there. First place I saw that had it. Made the purchase, and he was very courteous throughout the process. I went to my companies mailroom this morning to pick it up, opened it and it had nothing but and empty box. The reason i suspect this to be fraud is that he entered all the info for the shipping to FEDEX at his home and listed the package weight at 1.1 pounds. Fedex tracking lists the package at less than half that weight (due to the product not actually being there.) If this guy ships the thing or refunds my money, I would be very surprised. IF this turns out to be something he can explain, other than it msut be FEDEX's fault, AND i get what i paid for, I would be happy to retract/edit my claims. Until then I mostly put this out as a warning to others. I will update when i have more info.

Stay Away from ebay seller: tropical_mobile

I purchased two Samsung Galaxy S6 phones from the seller tropical_mobile on ebay. I purchased the phones from them because they listed the item with "12 MONTH SAMSUNG WARRANTY" and also mentioned that the item is located in Memphis, TN in the US. The phones actually shipped from Singapore. They landed in Fedex World Hub in Memphis, and these crooks have mentioned that as the item location just to attract more buyers from the US. After receiving the phones, I checked with Samsung in US to confirm if the phone truly has warranty. And they said the phones are not supported in the US. I asked the seller for a partial refund to keep the phones and they even agreed and sent me a bogus PayPal transaction ID and asked me to wait for a few days. The refund never came through. I wanted to deal this politely with them and was waiting for ever and ever. They play this delaying tactics and with that it was way past eBay's 30 day buyer protection deadline. Also with this I could not change the positive feedback I gave them. In addition they listed that the phone ships from Memphis, TN - but they actually got shipped from Singapore. This is another cheating tactic by this seller.
I then opened a PayPal case, and PayPal buyer protection is a JOKE. This seller sells thousands of phones and gives ebay and paypal a hefty commision. PayPal's decision was to have me ship the item back to Singapore (which costs around $150 for each phone) to get a refund. The seller who told me in the ebay messages that he is ok to give partial refund, has not agreed to partial refund when PayPal contacted them. So ultimately I am having 2 phones that can die anytime without support. My decision now is to spread the word to all discussion forums related to Android and ebay to warn people from staying away from this WORST seller.
US based sellers clearly sell these models by mentioning that there is no warranty. But this tropical_mobiles is one of the worst eBay seller, but tactically manages to have 100% positive feedback.
They may even ask you to close the ebay case and tell that they will process a refund or return. But do NOT close your case until it is fully resolved. A closed case cannot be reopened. This is another tactic from them. After the case is closed, they will not fulfill the promise made.
To Avoid all these hassles, just please stay away from them. You can rather purchase from properly US based sellers who truly list items are not covered under warranty.
Noted. Thanks!
