Hi all,
I am unsure if I am posting in the right section of the forum or if this is even an appropriate post. Please let me know if not and I will remove it.
I have been in the market for a Google Pixel 2 64gb phone for a while now. I have just come across the following listing on eBay, which claims the phone is new. With the current 10% off code, the price comes down to $686. This is the best price I have seen. Could someone with better knowledge of the online phone market please have a look at the listing and see if there is anything suspect about it. I imagine it is not factory sealed, but is this a big deal? I have never purchased a phone online.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
Here is the eBay listing
326 feedback, possibly a bit iffy.
That's very odd - I don't think there's any Pixel 2 variant that doesn't support those. Maybe just a wrong item description?
Recent feedback looks alright. There was one feedback item within the last 6 months that claims it "finally arrived. Obviously not in Victoria Australia". Seller profile is "based in Hong Kong". Other, recent, positive feedback says it shipped quickly. YMMV.
Altogether, I'd expect them to at least ship you the phone (and PayPal should cover otherwise). Certainly overseas stock (grey import). Don't expect any warranty support from them.
I don't know if there's any firmware difference with overseas Pixel. With Samsung, at least, you'd need to be aware of that.
