I bought two from them on ebay and both had issues. Seller refused replying until ebay case solved the issue. They have batch 1 still which had more faulty products+this time they are selling from their own website which means that nobody can force them to refund u in case item is faulty.+nowhere it mentions whether or not returns are accepted at what conditions. And if I am not mistaken their shipment takes 2 or more weeks to arrive and by that time I think price might have lowered even more. So yeah buy at your own risk.
Edit:"all sales are final"= no returns accepted.

Problem with buyer on ebay

I sold a HTC Desire HD with a cracked screen and a missing volume rocker on ebay for £80.
Before sending the phone I tested everything and everything was working perfectly fine.
Now the buyer has messaged me saying the vibration doesn't work on the phone but I am 100% sure that it worked when I sent it.
He hasn't asked for a refund but I'm worried that he will and I can't really afford to issue one.
What can I do? Because it was working when I sent it but I don't have proof of that.
Thanks.

Depends on what you had in your listing.
Was it sold as faulty or spares/repair? Was it sold with no returns?
Ebay unfortunately have a habit of siding with the seller. Try contacting the buyer and offering a partial refund rather than a full one.
Returns not accepted.
But there was nothing wrong with the vibration, and I don't want the buyer or ebay to think I ripped him off because I didn't, and I don't see how the motor could have broken in transaction.
I'm skint at the moment due to many bills coming in at the same time, so I can't afford any type of refund.

As long as you were detailed on your ebay listing quoting phone has issues buyer should assume there are issues. Do not fret if he opens a claim against you with ebay, they will look at your posting and see that you mentioned there are defects with the phone, As long as you did not place in ad phone 100% funtional you have no issues and if you did you dont have the burden of proof. As well as look into how long it took seller to reply or even if they took phone apart to repair screen, I had a buyer wanting a refund back saying item did not work 45 days later saying they just opened it. They lost so dont worry about something that has not begun yet. Ebay is a very solid and trustworthy sight that does the right thing for buyers as well as sellers. Unlike craigslist and their scammers.
Edit: Plus they do not get a refund until ebay knows you recieved item back in same condition as shipped. DO NOT OFFER partial refunds cause possible buyer trying to get one over on you let ebay deal with the dispute if there is any.
The vibration motor on my DHD packed in one day. Just went from working to not working. No drops or anything like that, so it could happen.
But...
When did you sell it and when did the buyer receive it? Was there a few days between them actually taking delivery and then contacting you?
When I purchase anything via eBay, I immediately check it and if necessary contact the seller. This is to eliminate any "you've had it a week, you broke it" scenarios.
The fact you listed it as having a cracked screen and faulty volume rocker indicates you were honest with its state pre-sale, why would you hide the fact vibration motor didn't work? I think in any event eBay would see that you were honest with your description.
I would contact the buyer and let them know that it was thoroughly tested before you posted it, and that any damage other than what you disclosed must have happened in the post. And in that case to claim from Royal Mail, DHL, Yodel (or whoever your courier was). I'm assuming you used a method of dispatch that was insured.
Thanks for the great advice Andy

Quite true what mr. Mod says there but I encountered once almost the same situation as you with ebay. Their rule there states that as long as the defect is not stated in the listing then it's the seller's responsibility. I even hear sellers ranting on the forums about their product's parts being replaced and returned to them but ebay insists a return unless the seller could really prove their claim. Regarding the vibration not working if the buyer states that it's not working since he/she recieved it maybe you both could redirect the case on the courier you used on delivering the package and file a mishandling case on their side.
If you're sure that vibration is working when you said it and the buyer claims that it doesn't work since he recieved it then point it to the delivery man
But before that ask the buyer first when did the vibration stopped working. if he says greater than 1 day then ignore him!
He's now asking for refund. I don't have the money so what will happen if eBay side with him?

Stand your corner, if you are 100% sure that the vibration worked before dispatch, then you have done nothing wrong. You should direct the buyer to the courier as that can be the only source (other than the buyer) that could've caused the damage.
Sould the buyer file a dispute with eBay/PayPal, just be truthful, state that the vibration motor worked prior to dispatch and that it must have occurred in transit. State that you have contacted the buyer to file a claim with the courier (which you should do, if you have not already).
Worse case, the buyer should return the handset to you, postage at buyers expense, before you refund the money. Should give you chance to relist it if necessary. In my experience, although limited, with eBay & PayPal is that if you are honest you should be ok.
The buyer is happy with me contacting Royal Mail to claim. I insured the postage so should be fine, but I've had a problem with Royal Mail insurance claim in the past.

As long as you state the facts, you should not have an issue. Insured carriage is designed to cover circumstances such as yours. Contact the buyer and ask for photo's of the packaging, perhaps that shows signs of mishandling.
I actually did a bit of temporary driving work for Yodel, driving HGVs between depots, and I can guarantee that your packages are thrown about.
If the pictures show dents, crush marks or anything to suggest mishandling, you are covered.

ebay will always side with buyer, if u want to "play the ebay game" then get the item sent back with tracking, wait on the refund ebay will refund your buyer, you then refund ebay but u dnt repay. instead u dispute the claim ie phones more damaged than when u sent it. hey presto ebay pay the refund and u get the phone to resell.
maybe not the correct way but id say this buyer just wants a partial refund hes playing the "ebay game" as he knows ebay will ask u to refund.

Nexus 4 replacement any luck?

Hey,
Is anyone be able to get replacement from playstore, if so is it pending or did you got the tracking number?
Since I got the device has a cracked close to the camera, I place a replacement yesterday and still didn't got my tracking number its showing as pending. When I place replacement order the CSR told me that they have enough device for replacement. Today I called them whats going on, and they are telling me that they don't have stock so its basically we are in backorder.
Can anyone clarify this.
Thanks
that sounds like you're SOL buddy... sorry
I don't know what the status is. My camera LED does not work, so I phoned in early Wednesday morning (5:30 a.m. EST) and arranged for a replacement. The email acknowledgment I got said "Less than one week" for "Estimated ship." I haven't heard anything further.

so no tracking number or anything, did you try to call them. cause we have only 15days for replacement
I requested a replacement on Tuesday, and it's still pending for me. I'm not complaining though, since I still have my Nexus 4. I don't really care if it takes 2 or 3 weeks for the replacement to get to me, as long as it's fulfilled, I'm a happy camper.
I requested a replacement Tuesday night because there is a small crack or hole in the backlight that looks like dead pixels but it's under the LCD and I got the same ships in less than a week but it's still pending in the play store

My call on Wednesday requesting an RMA exchange was less than 24 hours after I received the phone, well within 15 days. Anyhow, this is a warranty issue, which means I have a year, not 15 days.
If I haven't heard anything by middle of next week, I'll follow up with them, given the "less than a week" timeframe they quoted.

Isn't the warranty through lg? Meaning you will have to send it to lg for repair or replacement? Going through Google during the 15 day period let's you replace it through Google.
Ifvit is before the 15 days why is it a warranty issue?
sent via xda premium with nexus 7
Beats me. All I know is it's a defective unit, I called up Google support, and they're sending me a replacement. If at some point in the future Google tells me I need to talk to LG about defects, I'll talk to LG.
at least with the nexus 7, the benefit of buying from Google Play rather than buying from a store was that the play orders would be managed by Google if there was any warranty issues, whereas the store orders were managed by ASUS themselves.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you place an order for a replacement unit, RMA, Google places a hold for the full price of the phone on your account, in this case 384 dollars. Until the defective phone is returned, correct?
If so, are you guys with RMAs going to have an extra 384 taken out until you received the replacement.
I have a defective unit, my earpiece does not work, but I don't have an extra 384 dollars to let Google borrow while they send me a replacement unit god knows when.
Also, are RMAs brand new in box? Or refurbished units?

Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 International - Has No Warranty In The US!!!

This item doesn't have any kind of warranty. I bought it just 4 months ago and it just died for no apparent reason. I contacted the seller an said it didn't have warranty, I filed a claim with Amazon just to receive that it has been over 30 days of purchase so it doesn't apply. I contacted Samsung USA, Samsung UK and Samsung Mexico just to be said that the item was bought in the US so it isn't covered by UK or Mexico and Samsung US said that as it was an international version not sold in the US it wasn't supported either! I just lost my $700 usd I spent in this item!!!! DO NOT BUY!!! Samsung Galaxy S3 has been having lots of hardware problems, to fix mine will cost $500 usd to replace the motherboard not worth it!!! WARNING!!!
Anyone knows where I can buy the motherboard and how to change it myself?

Wait so you're in the US and bought the International version, and you're now mad about getting no warranty?
You should check with the seller on how to claim warranty before you buy any electronic product.
in this case, think you have no choice but bring it to any samsung service center nearby and pay for repair...
I think the only thing left for you now is to check if it's really dead or it's another issue before paying to repair ... I would replace the battery first maybe....

Stop calling him idiot! That is what you are thinking he somehow has black market phone. That is not the case. He is only misinformed. None of us in North America can claim warranty in here for I9300 model. The only way to claim it is to ship it in Europe and have someone else claim warranty in Europe for us. That is what he can and should have done, now it is possible the phone is blacklisted if the north American samsung shares data with the rest of the world.
It does not matter if the phone is sold by amazon or local shop or whatever. This model is always gonna be considered grey market phone in North America, meaning its legal to sell but it's frowned upon here and of course warranty can not be claimed here.
There is also a simple fact, that samsung here just does not have parts for this phone since its never officially released here.
Then you have to consider shopping item to Europe and back and having someone you trust claim the warranty. Most often it is cheaper to buy the parts, import them and fix yourself or in local shop you trust.

Title is misleading and untrue.
I still have warranty on my international SGS3 that I purchased in Australia.
Even if I purchased it from the US it would still be covered due to consumer protection laws here in Australia and the fact that Samsung also distributes here.
Your title should read...
Imported goods to the US usually ain't covered by local warranty. In many other countries they would be covered by Samsung. It's just the US has no or very weak consumer protection laws. It ain't Samsung's fault, it's yours for not understanding your rights and local law...
Seriously, why would you guys call him an idiot, the chap has just lost 700 us, and he opened the thread to share his experience and try and fix his issues, so I cannot see how he is being an idiot. Can you guys the ones who are not idiots offer him constructive advice rather than this name calling please.
Gotta love the *****ing on xda these days.. I remember when it was a helpful, civil place!
Did you buy on your credit card? Visa and Mastercard in the UK have protection that you would probably be able to claim on. Don't know if that's the case where you are?

Personally, I'd like to thank the OP.
He confirmed my stipulation that the total amount of intelligence on planet Earth is constant, while the population grows very rapidly.
What the hell forced you to buy something, what is not covered by your LOCAL warranty?
It seems that you have privately imported goods which are not officially sold in US by local distributor, and now you are asking for repair under the warranty.
If Samsung does not selling it there, their service centers will not have:
a) parts;
b) trained personnel
c) equipment (?)
to do a repair of the specific model in US.
I can assume that you can buy Russian vodka from a person who just arrived from Russia to States, and then call Russian Embassy next day that you have the hangover?
Just think before you're buying.

I have the sane problem. Bought the phone thru Newegg and they left me in the cold. Look in your box and should give you contact as to where the phone came from. If not give thru Samsung international web site and go to the country that your phone has for country code. You can find out by using Samware web site comparing the firmware as to what country it was set for. I had problem with earphone jack and took 4 months of back and forth threw the mail and going threw importer in Miami

These aren't black market phones, but those of us who want international phones have to buy from third parties or purchase them abroad. Otherwise, you're stuck with a network-locked phone.
Since Samsung doesn't sell the i9300 in the US, you have to do a little research to find out the phone's country of origin. I bought mine from newegg and it came with a Brazilian CSC but I eventually confirmed with Samsung UK that it is covered by 2 year warranty...as long as I ship it to the UK for service, of course (they recommended using a British address for a friend or relative to register it). And you can always get a SquareTrade warranty in the US or something similar to provide you with ADH coverage. This is what my wife did for her SGS3 which was bought from a third party on Amazon, though it appears that it's too late for the OP.

Did anyone else have an issue getting the “Free Bumper” from Google?

Did anyone else have an issue getting the “Free Bumper” from Google when ordering your Nexus 4?
My wife ordered my Nexus 4 for Father’s Day a few weeks ago, maybe a few days or so after the promotion started. I didn't get a bumper with it so she called and was basically told it was a “while supplies last” promotion and they have run out. Yet, they are still advertising the promotion and seems like they have plenty of bumpers in stock on the Play store.
What’s the deal Google?! Seems pretty shady to me.
I got mine in the same package as with my N4. No trouble at all. Don't know what happened for you.
Ordered mine last Saturday and got it today, white with bumper.
No problems here man. Got mine about 2 weeks ago.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'd send an email and/or call again and politely explain the issue. Let them know that plenty of people ordered after you and received the free bumper so you see no reason why you shouldn't have received one. Tell them you'll be glad to provide information showing you purchased the phone during the promotion as well.
Chances are you will just get the run around but in my experience being overly polite in these situations works out in your favor. Good luck!
The free bumper is just for the white nexus 4 in the US right?
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2
So get this, I called Google last night and they flat out refused to just send me a bumper even though we purchased the Nexus 4 within the promotion period. They claim there was no availability when they shipped my phone even though they have stock now and there are plenty of other people who ordered around the same time I did who got theirs, basically I think they just screwed up my order and don’t want to admit it. So I escalated to a supervisor and he still refused to simply send me a bumper, HOWEVER, he said I could remorse return my Nexus 4 and they will cover the return shipping and waive the restock fee and I can just order another phone! Why not just send me the stupid $20 bumper Google!? This route is going to cost you waaay more than if you were to just ship me a bumper! What the heck!?

Warranty Claims So Soon!

Anybody else have a warranty claim due to defects? Let's log them! I have a defective headphone jack. I'm going to wait 'till Sammy gets caught up supplying phones to everyone before I even think about sending it in. Meanwhile where is that Bluetooth headset...
I had one that kept rebooting on its own. I tried flashing the latest firmware and still rebooted. After T-Mobile telling me it's too new to the a standard manufacturer warranty claim, they told me to swap it out at the store for a brand new device. No issues since.

I had light leakage on the sides of the glass. Sent it in to Samsung repair in Texas on the 12th of last month. Received it back about 2 weeks later. I mean they fixed it, but they ended up replacing like half of the phone for some reason. I'm surprised they even had the parts for repairs.
My microphone stopped working about 4 days into ownership (Snapdragon; Orchid Gray). I could only make calls and do voice-related activities by headset or BT.
Being within the 14-day remorse period, I was required to purchase a new device (so I switched to Black this time) and send my defective one back in. At first, they wanted to charge me shipping $6.99 and sent it on the slow boat. I had to call back and request that another agent fix that. They charged me $24.99 for expedited, but then credited that back to my account. So, I will be having a new device soon, but it's such a hassle. I really hope there are no issues with this next one, My Note 4 lasted me 3 years and I still have it by my bedside.

Did you buy direct from Samsung or from your carrier? I bought from Sammy and since there are so many backorders I figure I won't get a replacement fast. Thus, I'll wait till the dust settles, but I like listening via the earbuds rather than bluetooth.

I ordered from T-mobile TeleSales group in order to get the $125 promo along with the BOGO promo.
They've got plenty of devices, so it was just a matter of ordering more. Unfortunately, the store is hoarding their supply for their own sales rather than use them for serving a TeleSales customer since they do not earn money at the store-level.

They've got plenty of devices, so it was just a matter of ordering more. Unfortunately, the store is hoarding their supply for their own sales rather than use them for serving a TeleSales customer since they do not earn money at the store-level.

I see. I'll just keep waiting for Samsung to catch up with preorders, lol! Then I'll make my claim.
