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 purchased a couple Transformers from Best Buy and BJ.com. I have one more than I need as I thought I had cancelled the BJ.com order. The trick is that the two Best Buy units i have opened. I have a sealed unit but the 14 days are passed so I can't take those back. The final Asus 16GB I have is from BJ.com and I am too late to send it back to them. I am thinking I can take it back to BB after the 14days since it is still sealed. Anybody have experience here? The total cost of this unit is $450 since I paid for the BJ membership and expedited shipping on April 26th. Help????

Best buy return policy is 14 on tablets and computers, 30 on most everything else. If you have silver membership via the Rewards program, that is extended out to 45 days on all items. The 45 days with Silver is why I bought at BBY actually.
BBY is pretty good though about returns without a receipt if it is unopened. with a $250+ item expect a giftcard or check via mail.
Thought about selling it to one of the people desparately waiting for their orders here on XDA?

I've tried to return two gifts that I've received past the return period to best buy. Both times the package was unopened and I had the receipt, and both times they wouldn't let me return the items even after asking to speak to a manager. In both cases I took the same products to walmart, obviously without a receipt, and they took them and issued a gift card to me no questions asked. It may not be the right thing to do morally, but I spend enough money at walmart, and I was returning brand new unopened products so I don't feel bad about it. You could give this a shot, although the fact that walmart only sells the transformer online may be an issue.
If you sell it on amazon, ebay, craigslist you'd most likely get more than what you originally paid for, it's not that hard to do either.
Yea i'm sure there more than enough people wiling to help you out here

My touchscreen on my TF has completely stopped responding to touch. I've tried resetting the device and wiping the data, but nothing will bring it back to life. I've been stuck at the Honeycomb Start screen for 2 days now, where you select your language when you first activate your device.
I called Asus support and they issued an RMA. When I got the email I realized it said that I had to pay to ship the device to Texas to get fixed. I refuse to pay to have this fixed after I just spend $400 on it last week. I called Asus support and was told only level 3 support would have the authority to override the policy and pay for the shipping both ways.
Now I can't decide what to do. Do I pay to ship it to Texas to get fixed, which I think is completely ridiculous? Or do I go to WalMart and return this thing? Does anyone know if I can go to WalMart and exchange it for another one when one comes in stock?
Appreciate any replies!
You'd only be able to return it back to WalMart within 30 days.

if you are within the return period just take it back to walmart and ask for a refund or exchange. Its' not gonna be faster with RMA.
I would return it. My right speaker is dead and I probably will just ship it back to Amazon to avoid the RMA Hassle and expense.
This product seems to have a high (10-20%) defect rate and its ridiculous that Asus makes the customers pay for shipping to Asus especially if they think their competition is really Apple who has the gold standard of customer service.
I'd take it back to the shop and ask for either a swap or a refund, I sure as heck wouldn't want to pay the postage.

Walmart return policy says 15 days
Sent from my Asus Decepticon using Tapatalk
Walmart's return policy for electronics is 15 days.
Welcome to the New World Economy, where retail companies nickel and dime you for every cent they can, even when it is their fault. Unfortunately, this RMA scam is becoming more and more prevalent. Case in point, NewEgg, one of the better companies out there. Their standard policy these days is to make you pay for shipping back to them, even for DOA products. Their position is that 'we didn't make it, so it isn't our fault'. I sent my dock back to them last week, at my expense.
Then I got the refund. I was absolutely horrified to see that they refunded ONLY the cost of the item, without the original shipping costs that I also paid. Holy crapsticks....I went through the roof.
Needless to say, I was in live chat with them immediately, and low-and-behold...they refunded BOTH the original shipping as well as what I paid to ship it back to them, and I only needed to ask.
The point of this? ***** about it. Complain to whomever will listen. You've got a chance of getting it back, whomever the retailer.
I already complained last night to Asus on the phone. I explained to them that it is cheaper for them to pay for my shipping, than to get a refurb back from a retailer.
It is cheaper for me to return it, wait a few weeks, and buy another one.
I don't even care about the money, it would cost less than $10 to ship it back. This is about principle. I just spent $400 on a device, which became totally unusable within less than 2 weeks of owning it. I should not have to pay to ship it back to Asus.
It is becoming very apparent to me how Asus was able to undercut everyone else's ASP for a similar product.

I RMA'd my first TF through newegg and they gave me a prepaid label to send it back to them.

That is all I asked for. I asked for a shipping label to the service center, and Asus said it is their policy not to pay for that.
Does anyone know if WalMart will take a return on an item that doesn't work properly?

Im getting mine rma from newegg too because of the speakers and the popping sound. I emailed them the other day and I got a prepaid ups label. I think if you contact them directly they will give you the label but if you did it the normal way they would make you pay for it.

Do you have any idea how long it will take to get a replacement? I am thinking about sending mine back to Amazon instead of Asus but I think it will take much longer to get a replacement?

I think it depends if amazon has any stock. If they dont you will probably get a refund and you have to find another one.

I think I will just send mine out to Amazon. Looking at the turnaround times, means I will be either getting a repair or refurb by early June anyway. I am sure Amazon will have more in stock on an active basis by early June.
I returned my TF bcoz the one of the speakers stopped working. Guess what, it was the second piece I got as a replacement after returning the first one. Took it back to PC Richards, and they gladly refunded my money back.
Now, I'm thinking if I need to get a TF after a few days, so that I would be able to get a piece from a subsequent production batch, where Asus would fix most of their issues or dump TF and get the Tab 10.1
I was in a similar position. Right out of the box, the screen showed flickering white lines, so I called Asus support. I got the same info: I would have to ship it to Asus at my own expense, and then wait ten to fifteen business days for it to be returned. I think not! I contacted J&R, where I bought the TF, and they provided me with a prepaid UPS shipping label for me to send it back and get a full refund.

I just returned mine at WalMart for a full refund. I'll be damned if I'm going to spend $400 on a product to last 2 weeks and then pay to get it fixed.
Now I don't even know if I want to order another one due to Asus's pathetic business practices.

Agree with you. I'm more inclined for the Tab 10.1 right now
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!
