help me order a case please? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hey guys, I saw a decent case on ebay and unfortunately they wouldn't ship here in the Philippines. I was thinking of buying this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/StandBook-Multi-Stand-PU-Leather-Case-for-Asus-Eee-Pad-Prime-TF201-red-Tablet-/120912896867 They're the only vendor selling this kind of case.
So anyway, can anyone especially from US would help me buy it? They offer free shipment of the item for US btw.
The payment would be like this:
1. I would pay for the item plus the shipment fee for Philippines via Paypal. Cheapest USPS only please
or
2. You can be the one buying it and I would pay you when I receive the item. I know this option may sound creepy on your part but don't worry, I won't screw you up.

I have posted mine on Ebay (230421747956) and set it for international shipping from Phoenix Az.
You can buy originals on ebay and you can get it shipped for less than 10 USD.

[Q] Is this a scam?

I found yesterday on ebay a canadian seller who had an auction for a Samsung Galaxy S2 new unlocked international version.
So I did the usual send a message if he could end the auction for 280+Shipping
because that's what I have in hand.
This was the messages:
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Me: Hi I would like to buy your phone I have 280+Shipping
Seller: Hi there, yes i can do a buy it now for 280+20 shipping to Honduras. Send me your paypal email and i can send you the invoice that you can pay and i will ship out asap. thanks
Me: my paypal address is ***********@*****.net
Seller: Just sent you the invoice for 300. Please let me know when you have paid and confirm your address. thanks
Me: Hey I saw you didn't ended the auction and it got sold for 432!
Seller: No i have 2 phones that i am selling. You can still pay the invoice i sent you. I will still sell you the phone for the agreed price
So then I received a paypal invoice of 300$
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
So do you think this guy is a scammer or not? Seller has 5 feedbacks and he is canadian, should I send the money? Would I be protected by paypal?
Item is going to be shipped to Honduras.
What do you say should I go on and buy it or not.
how much cost s2 on honduras ? my suggestion its not worth to risk , go get a new one !!
They cost around 700-800 $
wtf , come to Republic Of Kosovo. new one cost 370euro !!
SCAM........Stay away
Don't bother. This could very well be a scam and you wouldn't know until a few weeks later when you are still wondering where your phone is
It smells like a scam even from 1000km. Stay away.
Best go with your gut feeling or you kick yourself if your right.

Calling those who use Ebay!

Hi guys,
I put my transformer prime on ebay yesterday at a buy it now price of £350 which I thought was fair considering the prime's condition. Someone bought it within about 6 hours which was great, however, he only has 1 feedback for a saw he bought in 2011.
He sent me this message over ebay:
Hi mate, Glad I won your item. I'm currently in U.K at the moment. Please email me at [email protected], confirming the exact condition of the item. I will be going for an appointment will be able to access my email from my iPhone, so email me at [email protected] using the item number as the subject. cheers
seems dodgy. Only in the UK for a bit? going for an appointment? Using a freeweb email address? His address checks out as being from the UK
I am aware of people reversing payment on paypal once theyve received the product and I don't know how to defend myself from that happening. I can't afford to be scammed as I'm a student and need the money to buy a laptop as my other one packed up yesterday.
Any advice would be great,
Cheers, Nick
Did he send payment? Did he pay with Paypal?
Just make sure that you ship the tablet with tracking and insurance. You might consider doing a proof of delivery (signature) as well. As long as you can prove it was delivered to the address he specified he can't come back later and say he never got the item. The tracking, signature confirmation and insurance all cost a few bucks extra, but when dealing with a $350 item and a dodgy customer they are well worth the extra fee.

I'd be concerned about wanting to "confirm the exact condition of the item". If he wanted to do that he should have contacted you before bidding, not after winning. Also, whatever precautions you may take, if he leaves the country after he has your hardware in hand, you will not have much recourse if things go sour later-even if you have all the documentation to prove your side of things. Any way you could get him to pay cash?
On the yahoo account, I wouldn't be too concerned about that. I know lots of people who use yahoo, gmail, etc as their primary email accounts. This keeps things so that your email account is not tied to your ISP and you can keep your address if you change service providers. Also, I personally keep a separate Gmail account that I only use on ebay so that I don't have to give out my "real" address which I only give to friends and family.
thanks for your replies guys,
no, I have not received any money into my paypal account and am waiting for a response from him. Just a quick question regarding postal insurance: Do I insure my tablet up to the value of £350 and receive that if it all goes wrong? Why doesn't everyone just claim things went missing and both parties win?
also to the guy above, that bothered me too. The item's condition was extensively detailed in my description with photos and everything
cheers, Nick
With insurance you specify the sale price of the item and if it goes missing you collect that amount of money from the postal service which you then use to repay the purchaser.
The reason that everyone doesn't just say things are "missing" is because doing so is a crime punishable with prison time if you are found out. Also, it is unlikely that you will be able to get a stranger to reliably lie for you.

So Worst case scenario is the item goes missing in the post according to mr fraudulent purchaser and I collect cash from the post office?

No. The worse case scenario is that you don't buy insurance and the package gets lost or damaged in which case you are out of a tablet and have to refund the $350 out of your own pocket because your item was never delivered.
(Total loss= Tablet + $$350)
2nd worst scenario is the tablet is lost, but you paid $5 (or whatever) for the shipping insurance so you don't have to refund the purchaser out of your own pocket but you are still missing a tablet.
(Total loss= Tablet + $5)
When shipping relatively expensive items overseas it is always worth paying an extra $10 or so to the shipping company for insurance, detailed tracking and signature confirmation. This is doubly true if you don't trust the buyer which seems to be the case with this guy.
I sell my prime with dock, with 399 euro. I buy this in aprile. 2years waranty. I never use this tablet, and i want to sell. I change 2 prime, for defective problems. This is OK. For link send PM.

oh I see, thus keeping the cash the buyer has given me.
This does sound like a scam to me, I once had very similar emails when I advertised a car.
I wouldn't part with your Prime until you have the money safely. I don't think you're covered by eBay payment protection (because his feedback is low), but might be worth checking with eBay customer service how protected you are.
Good luck!

Pretty much. According to eBay rules if your product was lost and not delivered you would have to refund them their money (Paypal would happily do it for them without your consent). If you bought insurance, the postal service would pay you the listed value of the tablet so you would get $350 (minus whatever you paid for insurance) and the purchaser would get their $350 back as well.
Insurance is ALWAYS worthwhile, especially for items over $100 and often for items as low as $30 if you have a bad feeling about the buyer.
I've used Ebay a LOT.
1 - Never send without a payment
2 - NEVER, I repeat NEVER EVER accept a payment through PayPal that they used a credit card to make. Reason? People claim that they were "frauded" and do a chargeback. PayPal retracts the money from you and you are out everything.
3 - If you receive a payment email from the buyer NEVER trust them. EVER. Go directly to your paypal through your web browser, never through their links. Reason? They have fake paypal pages set up to make you think you got the payment. I've seen this more times than I can count...it almost suckered me the first time it was that good.
4- ALWAYS get insurance, tracking number and mandatory signature upon delivery. DO NOT EVER send without any of these. Period.
5 - Make sure to ship through whatever government shipping options you have if available. Canada Post, USPS, whatever...this usually avoids brokerage fees (which you can apply to be your own broker and get the item anyway, but it's a headache and a HUGE scam shipping companies LOVE to employ for extra cash)
6 - If the guy says he's from somewhere reasonably local (UK, USA, Canada) then states "I am overseas working in Africa on a geological survey ship, can you please send to my cousin in Nigeria" tell him to **** off and repost it.
7 - EVERY fake buyer will send a template email "Thanks guy, I am happy to be winning your item off of ebay and can not wait to get it! I am so excited!", it never sounds conversational and never mentions the specific item. You can send them back an email that asks them specific questions and they'll answer with another template "Glad to hear from you, I will send the money requested and $50 extra dollars if you send the item as soon as possible through the fastest way".
If the person on the other end can't have a conversation, even in halted English, ignore them and move on. They are a scammer, usually from Africa, using templates to try to scam. Chances are they can't speak a lick of English, or even count. They entice with excited sounding emails offering extra money above and beyond the asking price, then send a fake email that they paid you with a link inside that takes you to a fake page.
This screams scam, I'd back away from it right now. If your selling on Ebay make sure you have someone with atleast 6 to 12 months history, and with a good rating. People will buy a bunch of crap $1 cables so they can raise up there rating and then start scamming on big name items.
When I sold my iPhone 3G years ago I ended up with someone offering to pay me and paypal but wanted me to ship to his Niece in another province... it was a gift and she'd be soooooo excited... apparently....
I walked away from that deal quickly.
Put it up on craigs list, meet in a public place and get cash.
I would run the other direction. This sounds no good.

[Q] Do you have the official padfone X keyboard clampshell dock?

AT&T no longer sells it. The supposed links to the dock on ebay actually lead to other docks.
Would anyone be willing to sell their clampshell adjustable angle official asus padfone x dock?
I am also looking for one too
There's a sketchy website that claims to sell it, but apparently doesn't ship to the United States. If you know someone in Malaysia maybe you can get one, and if so get multiple and make a small profit on ebay. I'd be willing to send some money to someone if they ARE able to get this accessory in hand from this site.

It's not a sketchy website, it's one of the biggest dealers in Malaysia for smartphones and accessories. I've probably bought half a dozen phones from them. They're currently the only dealer I know off in this country selling these accessories.
I'd be able to get the accessory in hand, but I wouldn't trust mailing OUT of Malaysia to the US. I don't mind helping someone purchase some, if you have someone I could pass it to. Of course, they do delivery as well, so if you do have someone locally, you may as well get them to send it to the person.
Oh, that's good to hear. I found a proxy shipping company that says they will send to the US on my behalf, I will try ordering it through them. I'm open to recommendations if you know of any others.

Like I said, we (a group of users in Malaysia) haven't heard of anyone else bringing these in. Singapore is much more reliable, some of us have bought accessories from their shops.
