Just check his feedback if he doesn't have any and you have some have him ship first
^ i agree... Paypal has buyers protection program so you are covered regardless of the outcome. Pay with confidence
check his feedback on what? xda? paypal?

are you buying the phone thru ebay and using paypal as a payment method???
using paypal as the payment methood. buying the phone off of the market forum here on XDA
Check his xda feedback, make sure you don't gift him the money, make sure he has pictures with his username written on a piece of paper next to the device. Stuff like that will help, done several transactions on here.

Just avoid a guy named Willieum.. he tried to rip me off when I tried to buy an amaze from him a while back, he recently ripped someone else off.. he was dubbed scammer of the month for a while, and he made it to the unofficial scammers of the marketplace list https://www.dropbox.com/s/1lyf7wdmcc5gvn3/scammers on xda.txt
If anyone else EVER sees this thread who is thinking about buying an amaze- just don't gift the damn money. I gifted it like an idiot, and I STILL got paypal to refund it.. but if it isn't gifted, it is about 1000% easier to get your money back if things go sour..
And welcome to the amaze forums Ghost, I see you've already been stalking threads(in a good way), make sure you add the bible in my signature to the list of things you stalk.. the amaze is an awesome phone, and it gets better every day.

happens every time for every phone. not a biggy. its the "storm" time. then for a few weeks(i pray) it will be the "calm" with threads about nit picks, gripes, and "did you know this". Then the poor dev community is going to get raped by people demanding things of them when the devs dont owe anything to anyone. Just a natural cycle of things around here.
the only important thing to me(and hopefully everyone else) is that we all get our damn phones and get to enjoy our 3d headaches together lol

WOW.... I sent a message to the seller.
"Question.. How did you root the EVO 3D when there is no working root method available? Could you give me some details about this or your root method? Thanks! kyle"
We'll see what this guy has to say...
Wow...
Let us know his response to his question, maybe he has the answer that all the devs are working hard to find.
I'm in kind of a surly mood today..
This is the question I asked the seller:
" How did you achieve the impossible?
How did you root a device that is locked and encrypted with a 256 bit key?
I'm sure HTC and several government agencies would love to know.
Shame on you if you actually scam someone out if their money with this fraudulent auction."
I reported him, I suggest you all do the same.

"that's bull****, i never heard of that" - something generally only ever expressed by real idiots.
How do we know it's fake? Did wiki/google/facebook not teach you to STFU until you know all the facts, or did you not get that lesson beat into you in HS?
Sad.
Funny thing is, I know for a fact that:
- Large chinese companies have more leaks than a dollar-store diaper
- Anyone stealing directly from HTC is looking for $$, not props
- If that's the case, this'd end up being sold via quick/anon sources
Hillarious would be if this were legit, but we ****ed ourselves by being dicks.
...good job troopers!
edit: legit or not, paying via CC or paypal guarantees you don't suffer if it's "fraud". It's a win / no-lose situation.

I'm trying to figure out who is who is trollin' hard, who is just trollin' and who isn't trolling at all. It's hard. Excellent work guys.
It is a general forum....but I do admit this is odd. But it is humorous, and way better than the stupid **** that shows up here.
On a side note, the people who flame a post are just as bad as the idiot who posted it. I mean, another great forum that I visit once in a while (nothing like I do here) is phandroid's forums. Yes there is stupid **** posted there, but it is either ignored and someone kindly responds and aids the confused individual. Here...it turns into a week long flame war.

Hello,
For worst case 50 Dollars if you were a 4G Owner, the 3VO has got to be one of the most cost effective upgrades ever in Cell Phones.
Even if one finds 3D hokey, the Storage Space, far superior Processing Power, qHD Display, Sense 3.0 (I know some do not care for it), etc, the juice is so worth the squeeze that it is laughable.
My main annoyance is how far out the Camera is from the Casing. I kept the Plastic Wrapping on the Phone until I put it in an Otterbox Defender. I wish the Commuter had Protection for the Camera as the Defender is a beast, but it is what it is.
Cheers,
JJ

As of late, there have been numerous outbursts by forum members that have caused this forum to go haywire and this place isn't as welcoming as it should be. A great Dev has already raised his concerns for the hostility that has occurred and it is obvious OUR actions have been the root of this issue.
I know we're all excited about this new phone and the possibilities once S-Off is achieved but we really need to come together and combine our knowledge (some more than others obviously) and make this a great experience for all. There will be many new "faces" to android and HTC phones in general which do not know how things work but let's try to be patient and not snap back with snooty or disrespectful remarks.
At the end of the day, we are all here to improve our device ad increase in knowledge. It takes respect to earn respect so let's keep it cool between all of us (members, Devs, & Mods) so we may continue to be productive and learn.
Basically keep your effin mouth shut and fingers still unless u have something real to add. Any problems u have with someone keep it in pm's. One of the biggest reasons why this forum sucks and alot of ppl left and refuse to come back. Grow up and shut up

Why all the hostility guys? Let's take a step back and relax. I don't care if this is XDA, Android Forums, RootzWiki... they're all here for us to communicate about the devices and to help each other. I enjoy getting on the forums and helping to troubleshoot issues or to celebrate new modifications for our devices, but it makes it difficult when everyone is fighting each other.
Let's just be calm and patient. We're very close to having Rezound freedom. Once it's official, things will be much calmer and everyone will want to work together on this device!
