As it is a branded product you can't think that it is a fake one or else pay through paypal where you can get back your money.

Just because you pay via PayPal is doesn't mean you will get your money back!

Have a good chance though if you pay by credit card, better than nothing.

The simple solution is if you feel there is a possibility of being scammed don't send the money or only deal with trusted overseas suppliers. Relying on 'chance' is a sure way of losing money. Gut reactions are the best.

Just been told i can place an order for 10 pcs to see what i think.

They are a branded headset that rrp here is £48, a few are on ebay for around the £30 mark and sourcing it via China i can get them for £7.50.

They accept paypal.

This is my first attempt at buying/selling and have been trying to source somthing i can make a bit of profit on in the uk for ages with no joy so im very nervous, think i might just go for it as its not a big loss if it goes wrong!

Just so we are clear

Replica

1.a copy or reproduction of a work of art produced by the maker of the original or under his or her supervision. 2.any close or exact copy or reproduction.

Fake

One that is not authentic or genuine

I would not like to live on the difference between the two..... and thats not including copywrite

my advise is to order a sample unit from them.
many of them claim that it is original, but you will not know until you receive the sample set.

of course there are also some legit companies which will tell you what types of mobile phone they are selling.

1) original
2) original refurbished
3) high copy
4) copy (low quality)

if you would like to know more feel free to msg me.

Clever scammers send a real product as a sample and fakes with 2nd order.

Of course, it's less likely to happen, as scammers generally do not send anything :-)
