If I’m buying something expensive on eBay I always go to see the sellers rating and make sure that he has 100% positive feedback if not I don’t purchase just so I have the peace of mind knowing I might not get scammed
you prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Brock Beckham thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Not always. I once received a necklace which was clearly *very* different to its' picture and was also a cheap knock-off (I ordered a branded one). The seller blocked all contact. I contacted ebay and said the seller was selling fake items and that it differed to the photo and they told me (although I provided them with the photos), that to prove that, I had to hire a professional "judge" who looks at the necklace and writes a statement about it. Only then they could decide, if I could get my money back. (Note: the necklace was like 30 bucks and getting these judges statements is like 300 bucks)
I hate people who abuse their phones. Man how hard it is to keep your phone in good condition? My first phone was the iPhone 5s and I bought it on the launch day. Today it still looks like I just bought it.
@@pocoloco9044 althought I make enough money to afford anyphone that I want, I always keep whatever I have in good condition because I work very hard for it. How hard is it to keep a phone in good condition anyways? Put a case and a screen protector on it.
i have dropped my phone like 10 times and that 2 dollar glass screen protector saved my life and the case but tbh i have butter hands and my phone slips alot
Sellers like this tend to have bots that leave realistic good reviews or they'll offer gift cards or something to people they actually sent what they asked for. Theres sellers on Amazon that are scalping GPUs rn for over twice the original price and they all have thousands of outstanding reviews when all they do is scam people.
@John Boi You'd have to be pretty stupid to write something like that (or be the seller, which is a total jerk, idiot, prick). Photos do not match (especially after what you see is what you get). Stuff is missing. In worse condition than advertised. No Ipad. Lying after pms. Total refund, thankfully. You'd have to be seriously stupid to scam on ebay like this.
2:43 did someone stab that damn screen multiple times?!? Edit: With the condition of the other parts (snapped logic boards) did the seller smash up the everything after listing? Maybe angry about the price?
They never intended to send them as seen in the photo. Take a photo, remove all the likely working parts, send everything else, and hope they don't want their money back or believe the line about waiting for the check to clear.
After watching a few of your videos. I’ve built up the courage to order a screen replacement for an old iPhone 5s I have. I am determined to get it working and hopefully can move on to other complex issues. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us! 😃
I hope this doesn't happen to me. I ordered 21 broken phones to fix up. 🤞 Edit: it wasn't a scam. It came with an iphone 6s plus and a working iphone 6 and a mint condition galaxy j7. Together worth more than $350. Plus, there were 18 other phones. I'm suspecting they're worth ~$500
@Alton Kilbourne eBay name is public lol. Just throw in a disclaimer that Hugh doesn't want us to harass the seller and if we do anything it's on us. Scummy? Yea Legal? Yea. Still not as shitty as what the eBay scammed did.
I got scammed on Ebay when I wanted to buy a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, and I found one listed as Brand New from the United States. Turns out it was bad refurbished phone from China,and guess what? I sent it all the way back to China, got my money back, and only that, I got more money for the shipping than I needed to send it to the seller
Mixman I was trying to sell my Galaxy Note 9 on eBay since it was my first time selling on there I didn't know how it worked. So I got an offer of $1080.00 I jumped at the offer me thinking that I was selling it to someone in the states turns out I wasn't. I didn't get paid and I shipped the phone to Nigeria that was in January it hasn't made it to it's destination and I was left with a phone and no money.
This has happened to me on my last 3 parts lot purchases. eBay has always been super sketchy but man it’s gotten way bad! Use to 1 in 10 I might get a obviously bad lot that was a scam but now it’s 50/50. They’ve gotten so desperate for business on eBay in the USA it’s become a free for all again there
I don’t get why sellers still try to scam buyers on eBay. Buyers ALWAYS win disputes when it comes to wrong items and sometimes buyers get to keep the original item for free. eBay has a lot of buyer scams however which is why I stopped selling there and switched to eBid but I still buy all my stuff on eBay because of the large selection of things (I also fix a lot of iPhones) and the prices are always good since a lot of competition balances prices
Hi Hugh I often do joblot repairs. It’s great that I know others are trying to repair them instead of using them for parts. Very sorry to hear that you got your hopes up and got scammed😔
Hey Hugh I have a question? I have an iPad Air 2 and for no reason the screen touch stoped working but you can still see the picture only the touch is not working, I went to the apple store thinking they going to change it but the did not. What do you think I do if I change the screen will it work or is this a software problem. What do you think
ItsPigeon Ha, iPhone 6 battery replacement was my first repair as well. Just don’t buy a cheap battery they seem ok until a couple of weeks go buy and they start to die. It’s not worth it. You will enjoy the repair though, good luck 🙌
I think it was a great idea to make the video, often things in live don‘t go as planned (I quote, forgot who „Live is what happens while you‘re making other plans“ 🤣), still interesting to watch how you analyse the parts!
Hey Jeff want to ask you a question.... I have a iphone 7+ with problems on the logic board. You have one for replace it with and how mutch does it cost? An by the way you're awesome with iPhone phones
Yo Hugh, great vids, they have helped me a lot, but I'd like to know where do you actually get the oem parts from. I'm in process of restoring an iPhone 5c and it misses quite some parts.
It is alright, I have bought items and sent it back and it was resent back to me because by chance the seller has moved? All in 6 days? Well, I got my money back and his/her item so they don't even have that. Also be careful, I have bought some stuff that I had filtered to be only from the US and it turns out to be not because it was coming from China. Instead of returning those which would likely take more than a month if it got there at all. I left him the worst review, calling him or her a fraud so I hope it helped others. Now, I don't buy unless it says a specific city in the US and not just some state because the scammers don't know enough to google a particular city from a state.
Hey Hugh, one quick question, how do you sort your screws during a repair/restoration, do you just know wher they go or do you have a secret method for that ?
I've gotten plenty of junk on eBay, they send shit that weights a lot and try to dispute your claim using shipping receipts and deceptive pictures of the items in the box which were removed before shipping.
Yeah I got scammed for "OEM" earpods.. The seller used word play to try and trick me into not complaining. I opened a case and within 2 hours the seller refunded me. Scared I'd give him a negative feedback
hey hugh i was recently forced to switch to an iphone 5s because my phone stopped working. batterry life is pretty bad, do you think that its worth replacing the batterry if i plan on using it for a few months?
I got 2 iPod touch first gens they're both bricked for some reason I don't know why, can you make a video showing how to restore them? I wanna start using them again.
Am glad you made this video, we have all been caught on Ebay on way or another. Always check feedback ask questions and be prepared to return if like you its not as described.
Wow, that's really bad... poor condition parts, how can people trash their phones like this? Best thing to do was exactly what you did, i.e. open a INAD case, you'll get your money back and the seller has to pay fees and return postage.
You should have gotten to keep some of these parts (that were usable) and sent the smashed/broken junk back for the rest of the money that you would have gotten for fixing these
EARLY UPLOAD?! NICE! Lol daylight savings. Just wanted to say a massive well done Hugh as thanks to you phones are being saved from landfills and also your spreading awareness of it so others become influenced to fix things (just like me) before they chuck them out. Really inspiring, I hope you reach 1 mil soon! Consider checking out my Instagram: i.phone.guru as I post restoration videos and pictures just like Hugh who inspired me to do so!
This is what you’d be expecting in the Philippine market. People won’t be selling their iphone 5s (until now, until it is realisitcally unusable). If you something being sold here for parts, expect them all to be of no hope.
