re: Donations via Paypal
hey,
i'd like to make a donation and i did read through the pages of how to do it. unfortunately; you use paypal which is not available here in thailand. i've tried quite a number of times to register using several credit cards but the bottomline is paypal does not have any affiliate yet here. i even wrote to the paypal customer service and they verified it themselves that there is no existing service yet set up for thailand. any other way to make a donation online?
cheers mates

I have been posting similar message a month ago or so ... seems like Admin working on it to allow other users to make donations easy way - my country has also been on the list of "not covered" by mr. PAYPAL :?

I am indeed looking for a comparably easy way to accept payments from more countries. I'm sort of stuck, finding mostly services that require me to send physical products for fixed prices or being very expensive and geared towards software sales complete with marketing support etc. If anyone has a good idea, I'm all ears...
have you tried www.2checkout.com ? they are pretty flexible.

May be to show to PayPal personel how many interest there is from othe countries?
Looking forward to make my first donation. I am from Croatia - not supported by PayPal.
Hi,
I am from Saudi Arabia and I second the requests of other users. I would like to donate but Paypal does not list my country as a supported country.
well i guess i can join the circle here in UAE but i guess am stuck too, but peter why don't you give away simple 1 $ products to be shipped & we will willingly buying it for say 15$ where 1 $ is the coast & 4 $ is shipment & the rest would be for xda developers, make it a button clip (i think they call them pin buttons) with XDA developers printed on it :roll: sounds stupid but maybe worth trying
I want to get a case ordered, like TODAY. Problem is my money is semi-locked down until my new debit card arrives in the mail. Does anyone know of a reputable accessory dealer that accepts e-check payment?
use paypal
Ok, so I found this site that sells wholesale electronics called ElecStreet. It says you can purchase an unlocked SGS II Epic 4G Touch for $202.50 at the lowest "VIP" price.
I need to know if this looks legit or if anyone has purchased merchandise from this site.
The site also says if you buy two items and spend over $400, you get a free iPod Touch or Sony PSP. ???
Please feel free to investigate!

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Ditto. 10 chars
Yep.
On the bottom, their "certifications" stickers are not clickable to verify, which they should be. And their one "Verify" button points to some Chinese website.
Fake. Not a Doubt

I can tell you that they are a China based company. That being said I know nothing else about them, and everything they sell looks in now way legit AT ALL.
For example:
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2485
That is an Apple iMac MC814LL/A for $399(359.10 VIP according to them) That is a $2000 Apple computer. No way in hell a company even at wholesale would ever be able to sell that computer for even their non-VIP price.
They also advertise
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2454
That is a Sony VAIO Z Series VGN-Z591U which retails for $3200-$3400 and they want under $400 for it. Not even possible to obtain it for that price, even if they got it straight from the Sony factory.
My official statement is they are going to take your money and hide in their country, and you will be forced to dispute the claim with your bank.
Yeah don't do it bro. You will send money to them and u wont see anything.

Bogus! Like posted above the "verifed " icons should be clickable and lead you to said website verifying the website. Those icons either do nothing or lead to china crap!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
i just might buy one!
if you do decide to buy one from here, use paypal. your protected. if you dont get your order you file a claim and if its bogus, paypal will investigate and refund you your purchase amount.
this is why i buy crap on ebay from china sellers. if its a fake phone you get, you also get a refund because they are advertising it as legit. take a screen shot of the page before you buy.

I have found that they are a real Trading company in China, they have a phone number, physical address and live chat support that is not automated or a bot.
The live chat person said that PayPal was not available until AFTER the first purchase which is through Western Union.
I can't find any bad reviews or customers saying it is a scam or that they had an issue with the site.
I just don't know.
Ummm hello! That yells you right there, pay by western union, lmao! I hate for you to lose your money, but I won't feel bad for you as there are plenty of people warning you!
Once you pay via western union then you can use paypal, LOL that is a good one!!!

The thing is, they told me I can't use PayPal until after being a return customer, with that being said, they want me to send a Western Union payment to a Zhen Zhang?
I just don't trust it...
Oh, and the reason you don't see bad reviews is they will burn that site out in a week, change a few pics and make a new site. They post on craigslist all the time, same crap!

damn! that certainly makes it an inconvenience. paypal was the clincher for me. if you do buy it, let us know how it works out. i can wait. i might wait to buy one until cm7 is available for it.

the sketchy part is the western union. i mean, the whole site is sketchy, but paypal is safe. if you have to do western union first then i wouldnt do it. you might be able to check with paypal to see if they have any complaints against the site.

well, just for kicks i tried to follow through with a purchase. when i chose to check out with paypal it took me back to a list of their payment methods.

there is a guy on craigslist selling this phone new in box for 350. i might pick it up tuesday if i feel like it. who knows, maybe he purchased some from this company and is making a profit. as long as the esn is clear im happy.
The thing is;
Im moving on to a Xperia Arc S
But the one im receiving is Networked locked to 02
So i contacted Jinx on Xda who does the Remote Unlocking for 15GBP
And the only two ways of payment aree Paypal and Moneybookers
So i was wondering
Is there any Indian XDA member here who could transfer the funds to Jinx ?
I shall send you the required amount in India rupees (A little extra due to the Paypal charges) via Post or DD.
Anyone up for it ?
Please ?
I tried making a paypal for me but i require a PAN card which i dont possess as im 17 :/
Right now 1GBP is Rupees
And i need to send a total of 15GBP which translates to Rs1200/-
So ill pay for the post charges and Ill send a total of Rs 1400/-
So a total of Rs 1400/- is to be sent via paypal and far as i know paypal charges for sending hence the extra cash here
Let me know
And Moderator i know this is in the wrong section so please do excuse me
