Hi All:
Just found this on eBay
For £11-99 incl postage it seems a bargain. Has anyone here bought one of these?
Cheers
Good find.....I've been looking for a UK charger (without getting ripped off) for a long time.
You just never know whether to trust these cheap chinese knock-offs though.
Almost 2000 items sold with 100% positive feedback - got to give some, if only a small indication of a decent seller but doesn't necessarily give an insight into the quality and longevity of his products.
Edit**
I've bitten anyway and have ordered it.....will post back whenever it arrives and probably type in CAPITAL LETTERS if it blows my TF'er

Interestingly, this item is very similar to the one referred to here
I note that this HK supplier is only showing a shipping history back to March 2nd - just like the guy in China selling the UK version. Looks like it may be a new product, just available on eBay?
Anyway - what the hell - I have also ordered one! Let's see who's arrives first eh?
Well, I received my charger and it does charge the tablet......only time will tell what the quality is like. The big problem though is that when the charger is connected the screen locks out and is completely unresponsive. As soon as it is disconnected, the screen comes back to life.
I got back in touch with the seller and he has offered (without any fuss) a refund or replacement. I've opted for him to send another charger so hopefully this is a one-off.
The downside is that it will take another 2-3 weeks to arrive as it's from Hong-Kong. Would be interested to hear feedback from anyone else who used the ebay link with regards to similar problems!

Please put this in the correct place if I am posting in the wrong are etc as I am in a hurry and simply want others to be aware.
Its about time we had a list via thread of dodgy sellers on eBay. So to start off....
NAME / COMPANY: M99 aka M99-Shop
PRODUCT BOUGHT: 2800Ahm Battery for Hermes
PROBLEM: Received completely the wrong battery. Item I recieved was an 1500Ahm and was /is in a dangerous condition. The white plastic sticker type back cover is half gone and the battery insides are bulging outward! The item I got is also completely DEAD and nonchargeable
: Two emails sent to seller. No response. Have notified eBay.
[Have also received numerous emails from other buyers who have had the same or similar problems.So all are now taking action to get this account closed]
DETAILS
======
I have received numerous emails from others like myself who have been ripped off by an eBay company / eBayer called "M99" or M99-Shop.
Several of us are in the process of awaiting replies from eBay as to what they are going to do about this seller as we want their account closed down. So far from what we have worked out there have been near on 1000 bad results in the last 30 or so days. The seller does not reply to messages and does not do anything when there is a problem.
The Hermes battery I bought had half the cover missing on the back which made it dangerous as there is exposed parts along with a bulging along part of one of the sides. I will en devour to upload some photos when time allows. The battery I received is dead and will also NOT charge at all. It is the same battery which I bought from another dodgy company called ipods99.com
I ordered the 2800 and received a 1500.
Anyway, I very much hope others see this and if it saves one person the hastles and problems I am now having to go through then brilliant.
Lesson today is:: NO MORE BATTERY BUYING FROM EBAY!!
I bought what was thought to be a 2800 mah battery on ebay. The battery looks good and is has a pretty stout runtime but its actually two 1100mah packs wired in parallel when i disassembled it. equaling 2200mah labeled wrong to 2800. I spent 15 bucks i got what i paid for but im satisfied

Have you any details you can share. Thanks
Avoid ebay shop: M99 - M99 sales
Avoid buying from an e-bay shop M99 sales. I bought a charger for an MP3 player, which was not compatible. I e-mailed twice and this guy just ignores any communications.
Most of the negative is for sending the wrong or faulty goods and not providing refunds. This guy is cheap, but there is a good chance you will get the wrong stuff or even something which is unsafe - please AVOID.
If you look at his feedback, he has a 96% positive, but this hides the fact he has over 1000 pieces of negative in the last 12 months. Yes, over 1000 people have complained and E-bay still let him trade - can that be right (well it appears so, provided you keep above the level of 95% positive, which is the magic % set by e-bay). Could you imagine a shop on the high street continuing business if it provided such poor customer service that one in 20 trades was dodgy!
BATTERIES THAT SELL ON EBAY IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CRUISE BUT WITH THE TOUCH, SO DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE COVER BATTERIES!!!!!
you should really change your dealer...

You need to check the reputation of the seller before you buy from E-Bay.
And even than you are not sure about the quality of the battery.
The best is to buy the original battery recommended by HTC.
Actually, the best thing to do is, whenever you even remotely consider buying something from ebay, have a friend whack you in the head with a brick. There's a reason why the prices on ebay are so low...it's cause 99% of the products are either advertised as something they are not, or the seller is a straight up scammer and won't send you anything at all. Feedback is useless; there are networks of scammers out there who generate feedback for each other that appears to be legitimate.
If I sound a bit disgruntled, I'm sorry, but so far over the past 3 months I've lost over 500$ on ebay and STILL waiting for paypal dispute resolution to take care of it.

......................although; one can always have a great experience, bar the 2 cars I have bought! (Cars were under £200!)
Ebay is good but you have to do alot of research, just received the Seinheiser CX500 headphones.......fantastic and the world is far away due to the quality.........
Will
That's cool...I know I have had SOME good transactions on ebay, but I just hate the fact that when things go wrong they seem to tell you that they will help fix it when they dont...they need to regulate things more, because there are so many scammers on ebay...i would bet my life that there are at least 100 people gettimg scammed right this second
BTW Seinheiser is great..I've tried those and I liked them
For wired headphones though i use Ultimate Ears in ear monitors...theyre amazing but they cost ALOT
I'm trying to some some studio quality bluetooth headphones at the moment with no avail
Ebay
I get just about all of my phone accessories on ebay. Most of the stuff while cheap does what they say. True feedback does not mean much but I have bought all my extra batteris there and saved a lot of money. $ 12 for a battery there compaired to $40-50 eleswhere. I think it is worth a try.
I second surgex0. When stuff goes wrong ebay/paypal doesn't care.
And batteries - I got some 'new' batteries once that were original branded but lasted 20% my store bought batteries did. I'd stay away.
Hey guys I just wanted to share with you a PMA enabled battery door that will allow you to wirelessly charge your G3 with a Powermat charger. Here is a link:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...2-Housing-Shell-with/1628681_32274550167.html
I just ordered one yesterday, they are $30USD with free shipping from China. When I receive mine I will let you know what I think.
IMO this is a much better option than the stickers you can get. With the stickers you have to butcher your stock backplate which could complicate warranty issues. This way you're getting a new door and you don't need to worry about how to align the sticker properly and such.
I also ordered 3 Powermat chargers from Amazon.com. They were $4 each and shipping for all 3 combined was about $5. I shipped them to CBI on the US side of the border and I will pick them up in a couple of weeks.
Anyhow, I just thought I would share about a cheap/good way to get wireless charging with your G3.
You can also get this one in the us for the same price. I bought it because I didn't have to wait for shipping from China. It's been working great for months.

How does it compare to the original? My link is better for Canadians because amazon.com won't ship to us.

I don't have anything to compare it to as it's the only one I've ever used, but it has worked flawlessly. I suggested the one from amazon because you said you were shipping to the US and then picking up. Either way, it's an option and I know it works.
Post back when you get the one you ordered. I'm curious to see if it causes the battery door to bulge like mine. That's the only downside.
I really want this case. Seems for some reason it is very rare and hard to find.
I ordered one a month ago from MyTrendyPhone.com and it has still not arrived. They sent me affidavit to sign that I just sent back. I have a feeling all I am going to get is a refund.
Anyone know where I can get this case in black?
Thanks,
Chad
First I got an email saying they would be shipping me a new one.
Then overnight I got an email saying they are sold out and offering me 20% off my next order under $40. Offered me a refund as well.
Why is this case in such sort supply? I don't have one yet, but it looks to be the best case out there. It replaces the back cover which adds less bulk, and has wireless charging built in.
I have not been able to get my hands on one either.
Finally got my refund from MyTrendyPhone.com, and have now placed an order with Expansys.com. They have it available. Also got the Quick Circle Wireless Charging case ,to see which one I like better.

Looks like they only have it in white?
Bought mine from Amazon.de Germany. Use chrome browser and it will translate. Choose other sellers and pick Amazon. Got it in about a week and a half for just under $40 including shipping.
MyTrendyPhone is a garbage company. Ordered from them too but never again. The Slim Guard case is absolutely the best case for the G3. I bought mine from Expansys and received it within a week. It is every bit worth the $45 or so that I paid and yes; it is very hard to find. Your best bet is maybe a secondhand off of eBay.
Does anyone know of anyone selling the black case unused?

I just bought two (one for me and the other for my wife) from amazon.de but unfortunately the seller didn't ship to the USA so I had it sent to my cousins apartment in Germany and she forwarded me the package which I received today.
Some pictures to share...
just purchased from Amazon.fr. 42USD.
the only seller on the German Amazon that would ship to me would charge an exorbitant shipping fee.
I have got the uk version but getting shot of it as not for me. Prefer my supacase.
In the past month, I have tried twice to buy a "new" Logitech Note Pro 12.2 folio keyboard. The first, from Ebay, arrived and I touched its keys and immediately heard a weird crunching noise. The keys would not really even depress. It was obvious to me the keyboard was a retread... packaged to look new but horribly faux repaired. I sent it back for a refund. So then I went to Amazon, and bought one from Amazon. Unbelievably, it too was obviously a badly repaired and repackaged broken keyboard -- the right shift key was actually coming off, and underneath it a bunch of glue and white plastic preventing the key from even depressing. I just contacted Amazon and am returning it immediately. I really want one of these... they are on sale all over the place for around 46 bucks (give or take). But I'm very wary at this stage of buying any of 'em. Sigh....
Update: Just bought a kinda raggy taggy one for 35 bucks from a guy who'd actually used it. It has some wear, but at least the keys will work. Anyway, just a heads-up for others looking.
That was a good price as BestBuy is asking $93.99 now.
Did you buy them from Logitech, or a random seller?
In my experience you should always buy these things in a sealed box from an official reseller store. And if they're 50% cheaper than the retail store, that's never without a reason....

I do tend to live on the ragged edge. A missionary's budget doesn't allow for a lot of squeaky-clean geekdom. The two keyboards purchased were from resellers, but large ones -- one actually sponsored directly by Amazon.
This last purchase, counter-intuitively perhaps, I have made intentionally from someone who is selling their keyboard they personally used. At least that way I know it works. Cheapest they are new is near 100 bucks, even now. Will let everyone know if the keyboard works for me. Heh.
Just be careful out there buyin'.
Blessings.

Keyboard came, works fine.
My first keyboard years ago had a hidden flaw that took a year for me to notice. The sync button was broken. I bought a used one for $33 and it works fine.
got a new one directly from Logitech and it had a broken Bluetooth button. They sent me a new one and I opened the faulty one to see if i could fix it. I have to say I wasn't impressed with the flimsy nature of the button & switch.
Uh oh. I just ordered an ebay one. I'll keep my fingers crossed until it arrives.
Edit: I got mine and it seems fine. It was sold by seller: winnerauctions for $41.99 and he's got more than 10 left to sell for anyone interested. Mine didn't come with an instruction manual or the original cable, just a generic cable and the keyboard wrapped in bubble wrap. But it works and seems not to have the issues others have mentioned above.
Just picked up one on ebay for $30 shipped. Hopefully no issues I can't work around. Did notice there are A LOT of them up on ebay for $40 or less listed as refurbs. Can only assume Logitech does have issues with these.
