This price doesnt seem right for an XDA 2, im thinking of getting it and selling my XDA and almost getting the price back :lol:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4181231658&category=32242
The person has 100% feedback so it might not be a con anyone bought one from the seller
Thanks
Edit-Western Union payment is prefered beware
just because the subject is xdaII, doesnt mean thats wut they are selling u. If u looked @ the picture, you would have noticed that it is the same device that u currently say u have. :wink:
The person does not have 100% feedback, I noticed there feedback is also private. Even if the feedback is perfect do not assume that the person placing the ad is the real person, there have been many hijacked accounts on ebay.
beware of xda IIs on ebay
I am not saying that there are no lagit deals on ebay but I have been watching them closely and have all but given up. There are a number of scams running:
One of them is posting links to sites running pyramid schemes (some of them tell you it is a site, others bury a disclosure deep in the tech specs in hopes of quick bucks thru paypal)
The second one advertizes XDA IIs but the pictures are carefully taken so that only one shows the antenna making it clearly and xda I.
The worst ones are hijacked live ebay accounts. I e-mailed asking a question of one seller and he told me not to bid as his hotmail and ebay accounts had been stolen. The item description later read 'do not bid! let me know if you have sent money so police and ebay reports can be filed.'
Check to see how long the auction runs for. If it is short and there is no reserve and bidding starts at $.99 you can BET it is a scam.
Feedback helps but it is not foolproof. I saw some that read 'Delivered what was promised' that was feedback from someone who paid $495 for a url to a site where they could get a $45 XDA II.
The problem with ebay accounts is the fact that the first part of your log in details is visible to everybody as your ebay account nickname, all thats needed is the password, it isnt rocket science to try put the most obvious passwords and get a hit. Ebay should change it so that no part of your log in details is available.
I don't know how many people know this but google is now offering a free bumper with the purchase of any nexus 4 product. If you have bought your nexus 4 within the last 15 days, they'll give ya a free bumper! I just called them
Enjoy!

Well done Google for looking after previous customers. I am waiting for the white to hit the UK store can't wait. No free bumper currently on the UK store for the black product so I guess the store may see the update next week.
I order another Nexus 4 on the 30th and they just told me the promotion started the 31st of May so I didn't qualify but they said they would look into it. Thanks for the tip though!

Just called them and they refuse to send me one since I purchased a black phone. Clearly in their FAQ and shows you get a black bumper free if you bought a black phone, or a white one, if you purchased the white version. I asked to speak with a manager or supervisor and I was transferred, rudely told the same thing. I explained that if I could just get a simple $20 refund, it'd be so much more easier on both ends than for us to have to ship items back and forth to one another.
They are offering me the option to return the phone and bumper I purchased just 3 days ago, minus shipping costs, and a 15% re-stocking fee. I'll be spending more money to just get a "free bumper" so forget it.
Google's customer service in comparison to amazon's is quite horrible. I can't believe they didn't offer me promotional credit to google play, or something in return for this unfortunate situation. With Amazon, if a situation like this ever occurred, they'd at least give me MP3 credit for a few songs, or extend my prime membership by a month.

I'm in the same boat as you, with the same issue and conclusion you came to. Even though I like the phone, this is thievery on google's part. Also it was rather asinine to not be able to just refund the purchase price of the bumper.
About to engage costumer support to see who the victor is, my device arrived on the 31st so I may be able to pull some bs based on that :cyclops:
Also I don't think they should be giving bumper refunds for any reason, as I see it is either you should get a bumper or not and I think we should.
am i the only one that feels that people are being greedy in this thread by calling Google thieves because they won't give them something for free because they bought something before a promotion started?

But are they making any more by giving away free bumpers to everyone now? Would they really lose any less by "giving" ones out to people who were unlucky and purchased the phone and bumper separately just days before this promotion?
I feel kind of screwed out of $20 since I just bought the phone a few days ago and they're not offering me any feasible solution.
I purchased it in India in a local shop, Google don't sell N4 via play store in India. It's LG who is selling it, So will I get free bumper ??

No, I agree with you. Certainly it depends on the timing of when the Nexus 4 was bought but, speaking from the perspective of someone who works in customer service, these are the types of calls I hate fielding. Why should a company have to compensate you for something you didn't qualify for? There's a certain point where it becomes entitlement and I hate that.

While I agree to some extent, they need to offer a better solution to those who bought the phone and bumper at the same. My gripe is not with getting the free case but seeing that i bought both i should at least be refunded the price of the bumper. Its was literally a day before the promotion, and they want to charge restocking fees, preposterous. In the end I'm not totally up in arms about it, because both are quality made products, its more of the timing.
Is T-Mobile giving the bumper away too?
THE NEW PHONE BOOKS ARE HERE! THE NEW PHONE BOOKS ARE HERE!
I can't believe people are calling Google greedy when they don't even make profit off the nexus 4

Picked up my N4 about a month ago with a bumper. I won't be calling Google asking for anything because A) it's only $20 and B) I didn't purchase it during the promotion.

Even if I was in the price matching period I wouldn't be complaining. It's only $20 for a bumper case. Go buy one instead of wasting your own and Google's time.

That's exactly how I'm reading it. Disgraceful to complain about such a third by considering how cheap the Nexus 4 is anyway.

Supposely we're getting $500 worth of freebies, but how do you go about getting them? I already have many of these apps like Linkedin and Evernote, so it's really just the premium services that are the freebies. There aren't anyway to access them.

I did just that, and it opens up my current app. Example - Evernote, I click open and I click on upgrade to premium and there's a fee vs. the free 3 months subscription Samsung said it offered. Same goes with LinkedIn.
Are you talking about where do you go for them, or do you mean your clicking them and their not redeeming? I just got my S5 and the gift link was on the 3rd home screen and when you click it, brings them all up to download on the phone. Like you kinda useless since I have stuff that's already on there, I may use it for the Linked in business credit.
Dropbox
I see from the site about getting dropbox, are we getting it from our AT&T phones?
Dropbox was the only thing I saw that was worthwhile.

how did you enable it? my old dropbox promo with HTC One X is about to expire next week, currently 25GB from the htc promo, should I just wait and see if it automatically upgrades me to the samsung promo for 50GBs?

Download it from the Samsung store under the Galaxy gifts section.
It may have been Box instead of Dropbox. It was one of those.
Still doesn't work with instructions. I don't even see LinkedIn.

With only 16 gigs and 12 gigs taken up. There's not much room to do anything. I've been suffering with the moto x 16 gig without a micro SD slot. I just ordered my gs5 today.

I downloaded the updated PayPal app from the Samsung app store and registered my fingerprint. It says on the Samsung.Com website that the gift would be accepted by PayPal merchants so I went to ebay and shopped. My backup card with PayPal has expired so there's technically no money to be taken from there and my PayPal balance is less than a dollar; however, I was able to purchase 2 cases, a screen protector and Bluetooth headphones. I received confirmation emails on all orders. Either PayPal paid for those items, they'll be denied or I'll have a negative balance on my account. I'll know for sure this week. Thought it might be worth a try.

I found this... not sure what it applies to (date / phone) or if it is just a samsung promotion in general as long as the criteria are met
https://www.dropbox.com/help/297/en
unfortunately:
Make sure your carrier is participating
Some carriers have opted out of the promotion on phones otherwise eligible. Among those not currently participating are the following carriers:
United States: AT&T
Japan: NTT DoCoMo

I think you answered your own question. Weather you're trying to sell a house, or a car or an item on eBay or swappa, this type of result can only mean one thing.
they could atleast make an offer?
i feel like the money paid to feature it is being wasted.

That's not how swappa works. Post it for what you want to get or what it will sell at. It's not Craigslist or even eBay. These types of discussions are generally not allowed in xda either btw.

Yes, without a doubt. When I buy on swappa, I pay no attention to featured listings. I'm looking at price, condition, price, seller rating, and oh yes, did I mention price?

The case is probably not worth any premium. It may be a selling feature, but will not get you any additional money.

This.
