Buying OnePlus X on eBay - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I need to buy a new phone ASAP. I decided on the OnePlus X but I can't seem to get any invites.
I found a seller on eBay.in selling it for the same price as that as Amazon.in but without requiring an invite.
It even comes with a proper bill and 1 year manufacturing warranty just like the one on Amazon.
Is it safe to buy from there?
Thanks.

I agree with loveboy prefer Amazon most of ebay sellers make trouble or sent the product few weeks after or never...

You can get them now from OP without invite.

Yeah, but not in India.
Anyway, I ordered it from eBay and it was delivered today. There aren't any issues with it and I love the phone!

[Q] Nokia CC-3032 (Cyan Hard Case)

Hi there,
Been hunting for this case for awhile, found it pretty cheap on amazon.co.uk but the problem is they wont ship it to me. I live in New Zealand...
All the other places I can find are over £20 for the case and then another £25 for shipping :\
Anyone got any ideas where I can get one cheaper?
Expansys says they have these in stock. I think they ship anywhere.
Expansys nz don't stock the case.
Expansys uk want £22 for the case and £20~ for shipping.
Pretty lame when amazon have it for £6
So buy from amazon, no? I don't think you are endorsed or binded w/ expansys! After, can you tell us your experience with the case? I'm not so convinced for it I prefer the silicon one.

No problem, luckily I had it on my eBay watch list because I was going to get one myself.

Buying a digitizer

My digitizer broke a while ago and now that I got a job I was looking to buy a new one, but I can't spend a lot of money on it, yet I have the feeling the ones I'm seeing on ebay for $30 will be pretty cheap and will break easily. Does anyone know how much an official digitizer, or at least a good OEM one is selling for nowadays? A friend of mine is going to the US next month so I will ask her to buy me one there as it will be much more cheaper than buying one on my country. I'm looking to spend less than 100 dollars on it, I wouldn't be able to afford anything more than that.
Thanks!
I've heard there are some quite reputable sellers on Amazon. You should be able to get a decent one for $30-$40. Plus, Amazon has a free shipping option for orders of $25 or more (at least in the US).
I bought a cheap one of ebay from China or Hong kong and its been fine for over 6 months

Buy one new with a frame (not just the glass). I've done a few. Also, follow a guide that also removes the LCD. Do not fall pray to trying to thread the digitizer ribbon through the whole as you risk ripping it. Figure up to $40 is normal. I had new last week where the new digitizer was no good, so be prepared to do the work more than once and take your time.

I got one on Amazon 33.00 it didn't work after 3 it works great only played for 1 and they refunded me on the one I have installed now and working they honor the Warranty the ribbons are not genuine tear easy have to be very careful.and remove the LCD makes it easy to prevent damage to digitizer ribbon.

Can you tell me which one you bought? I need to buy one and I want to be sure to buy one that will work.
I have found that it can be hit or miss and have had both good and bad product from the same supplier. They are all untested digitizers.

I'm based in India, and the seller was "India" based on the ebay address, but when I got the product, it was shipped from HongKong. I can send the details of the supplier who had send the digitizer to me. I do not know about the authenticity of this HongKong Based supplier though!!
And as said above, it can be a hit or miss from the same supplier too.
i just installed a new digitizer on my atrix, it is a little hesitant at times but it works great. got it on ebay from a seller in New Orleans. I can dig up seller store info if ya want!

[Q] Sony ZU C6833 from Ebay???

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a cheap deal for the phone for Christmas. After checking the usual mobile network deals I'm not convinced to pay £38/ month for 2 years.
Instead I saw new phones on ebay for £370 from a trusted seller.
Phones come from "outside UK" warehouse(I'm located in the UK) with 2 pin plug. I wonder if these are dodgy deals, or worth trying it?
The seller itself is providing the warranty for one year and they have very good feedback.
Here is one : LINK
I simply could not find a cheaper one around. DO you think I could go ahead with the buy?

e_cell has absolutely no warranty on the phone. I asked them previously and here is the answer:
"Dear soniboy84,
We appreciated your email and thank you for showing interest with our item.
Please be advised that this item is sold without warranty, express or implied. Should you want to avail of a warranty for your item, you may purchase one separately from SquareTrade.
Should you have any other inquiries, please contact us again.

So no. No e_cell.

Hmmm, I'm probably in the minority here but I'd beware. Their shipping them in from China and for that price I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're clones. They do have good feedback, but I just don't see how they could possibly sell the real article that cheap without it being dodgy. My guess is if you were able to get it on a network, it would get locked soon after. The other reason I think it's unsafe is that the warranty is with themselves, not an official Sony warranty, which basically means there isn't one.
I'd steer clear.

Thanks for the feedback, that's what I'm looking for.
I'm about 50-50% and I need some more either negative or positive feedback about it to decide.
The problem is that the next phone up on ebay is £419 which is quite high :S
I want to stay on 3 network, so most online phone shops(carphone, mobiles, etc) is out

Now that you mention it, i cant see anywhere in there posts that say anything about warranty
This'll be my next bet, shame about the long delivery :/ only about a week but still http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121213772308?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Don't.
They're the same. Everything comes from China to the UK, then they post via Royal mail from the UK.
Pretty sure we can wipe our butt with the warranty!

T-Mobile Upgrade

Hello,
So I bought an HTC One last May at full price so I could use it abroad. I now want to replace it. What are my options here? Will T-Mobile give me credit if I return it to them? Or would I have to sell it and then buy a phone at full price again?

Most likely: Sell the device and either buy a new one outright again - or use T-Mobile's EIP financing (and then sell the old one).
Out of curiosity; what are you looking to replace it with?

Buy law your under 14 exchange . They will charge you a $50 restocking fee.
Now of it's pass the 14days then some. Places won't do anything. Other will take it in of it's under 30days just charge more restocking.
Other then that sell it for a lost on eBay.

Being that people are having trouble getting their hands on one I advise giving eBay a shot.

Don't waste your time and risk your money on eBay. Expansys is already selling the LTE version for $700 including shipping. For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months. (With their warranty, if Sony USA refuses to cover the device, Expansys will return it to the country from which it came, handle the warranty repair for you, and then return it to the USA once more.)

Good luck! All I can tell you is that I bought my HTC One X, my wife's HTC One X+ and my Xperia Z2 from them, and every one was a good experience. The One X+ was the only one where I had any problems at all -- I'd actually ordered a One S, but they couldn't source it and so after waiting a while, they offered me the much better One X+ at well below their retail price.
And for my Xperia Z2, I ordered the phone, two docks and headphones, then they contacted me to let me know I could save money by buying a new, unopened Z2 UK kit that a customer bought and returned without opening, with that specific kit including the headphones I'd bought separately. They actually saved me a good bit by doing so, when they could've just filled the order I had made and got more money out of me...
So yes, three good experiences and I'm very happy with them. Hopefully you will be too! I'm pretty certain once I can afford the Z4 Tablet, I'll be getting it from Expansys, unless somehow Sony USA miraculously sets a reasonable price for the tablet. (Last time around, I paid less to them for the phone, two docks, headphones, extended warranty and expedited shipping than I'd have paid to Sony USA for just the phone by itself.)
We'll see. Here's to hoping. I'm not overly concerned with the timeframe as much as I am just getting it.
Anyone know where I can get the Keyboard seperately? They never released the keyboard for the Z2 Tab Internationally so I'm going to use this. The only one I have found is this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301652441507?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
But $288 AUD for a keyboard alone IS CRAZY. I was expecting to spend like $100...
*EDIT* Found it a bit cheaper on http://www.expansys.com.au/sony-blu...or-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-black-qwerty-275344/ $240 + 18 Postage AUD
http://www.amazon.de/Sony-BKB-50-Bl...&qid=1433574303&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=bkb50 Comes to $214 AUD but no shipping to Aus.
http://www.mobilezap.com.au/53608-official-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-bluetooth-keyboard-case-black.htm $233.50 + $30 postage AUD :/

You're not going to find it for $100 or even anything close to that. The keyboard alone, direct from Sony, costs 15,880 yen in Japan. That's the equivalent of AU$166 in their home market, and you've got to add the cost of international shipping PLUS a profit margin to make it worth their while for any company selling you one as a parallel import. I'd figure $220 is the absolute minimum you're going to find it for anywhere...
I bought at Clove - 482.50 GBP, but it bundles BKB50 Bluetooth Keyboard!
