Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy:
crystal hard case (K800i and Z610i)
new headphones (not bluetooth, just regular walkman)
a new battery cover (K800i only)
a new battery (bst-33)
a cellphone case (z610i)
a screen protector (K800i)
a 1GB M2 micro memory card
Are all these following items trustworthy to buy off of ebay? I'm usually a very careful buyer, so depending on the seller's record and stuff do you think I can get by getting all of those following items there for little bit cheaper without getting jipped? I'm a drummer and am a regular drum accessory buyer on ebay, and never have been jipped ever. But I hear that electronics are different stories so. Give me some opinions, or recommend me another shopping website that will allow me to buy all of those items, Thank you!!!

The first item you listed should be ok…Its only a plastic case and strap so nothing to be worried about there…Those sort of items are always cheap and most of them are same price as that.
Don’t know about the 2nd item…Very cheap price…Can’t tell if its fake though.
Guessing the battery is a fake…. Spend a little extra from sellers out of hk and get a genuine one.
The 1gb m2 stick should be fine. Go ahead and buy it…Remember 2gb is out now 
Again, the crystal case for k800 should be fine. Cant be a fake as they aren’t made by any big companies  They are all cheap any way.
And the battery cover should be fine to get…
Good luck. Let us know how you go.

Definately go for a genuine  battery. Unofficial batteries charge slower. If you've ever used one, the screen won't display "Optimized Charging" when plugged in. Instead it will show "Charging Alien Battery" so it will be much slower.

hmmm thanks for the tip... i guess i should've waited until you guys commented huh?... -.- too late i ordered already T___T
hmm... so then according to arien's post... it charges slow... but! does it also have shorter life?.. i really wouldn't mind slower charging, as long as it functions properly.
And lastly, how do you/I know that the battery i bought is a fake for sure? just by the price? is it 100% sure?
Thank you guys again!

The battery is a fake cause the k800i,p990i and the w850i all ship with a 950mAh battery |

battery life will be shorter afaik. Ususallly you can tell by the price, as genuine products are never that cheap
And you will know its fake when its charging. As arien said, it will say charging alien battery....

one question, how reliable is plemix.com for cellphone purchases? it kinda seemed shady to me since the price was soooooooooooo much cheaper than other sites

Hey guys
I received 50% of my items so far, which is prompt and nice, and so far no defects or fake items showed up as of so far, EXCEPT for battery that everyone was mentioning which is iffy.
On the battery it has an official Sony Ericsson Sticker on it, as well as a BST-33 logo however, the only difference I see is the manufacturer origin and the mAh.
On my two geniune batteries is both made AND finished in China... the one i got from ebay is made in china, finished in SWEDEN.
Geniune batteries have 950mAh written on them, the ebay one has 900mAh written on it.
What do you think guys?
