I bought from him 2 days ago. I haven't heard a single word.

He also has one one review from a coat he sold but that transaction looks fake.

So this is not looking good already.

To anybody in the States, I thought I'd lost my M-Pen for the past few days. So, I quickly bought another one off of eBay. It's already been shipped. Should be here in a few days.

This morning, I found my original pen, so I will not be needing this other one. I don't like returning things on eBay, because I don't like doing that to sellers. Anyway, if anybody wants the new one, let me know. $45.00 and it's yours.

I have a 100% rating on eBay and I've also successfully bought and sold on both Android Central and Windows Central with positive ratings.

PM if anybody is interested.

Thanks.

Hi,

I sold 7 phones & more my friend.

I'll try my best to ship them out to you guys ASAP.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CCJ22:
I ordered on the 28th and still no tracking.

No ETA from eBay either.

I contacted seller and all he said was he sold 7 phones and will update tracking when he can.

Not a good sign
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CCJ22:
I am contacting eBay to ask for a refund. If you look at the item you bought there is no ETA. I've never seen an item not display an ETA.

This seems very fishy. Especially since 6 days with no word.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jairus78:
I called eBay and they opened an "item not received" case.

Stay tuned for the seller's response

Hi Daniel,

We're sorry to hear that you didn't receive the item you purchased. Your request is open, and we've asked the seller to respond and resolve your issue by Jan 8, 2019.

If you don't hear back or can't work something out, you can ask us to step in after Jan 8, 2019. If that happens, we'll review your request, gather any new info we need, and make a decision within 48 hours.

Tempted to just cancel the purchase but since I only paid $590 I'm going to see how this goes...I'm not worried about getting my money back from eBay if the seller flakes out.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] neogeo333:
I also ordered on the 28th. Gave him one last chance to provide me an shipping label or else I was gonna ask ebay to refund me. Hoping for the best since I also paid 590.00. Has anyone heard of a black Mate 20X? I've only seen the blue and silver.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] filip_pine:
Hello guys, i'm just going to tell you my story. Since i order often on Aliexpress, i decide to order my first Mate 20 X on my favorite Seller : I have received Sealed BOX like i request, but the phone came with a factory fault ( Adhesive Back case was not perfectly glue on the bottom right. I sold it already.

Since i like these Mate 20 X so much, i decide to purchase another 2 pcs. This time i went from WondaMobile ( because of the good reviews they have and because they accept Paypal as well ) and another Unit from Aliexpress ( different seller this time ).

Before i purchsee the 2 pcs, i ask both sellers to send me pictures with the Huawei Factory Sealed BOX. They did like i request.

First shipment from WondaMobile already reach to me by DHL yesterday. Guess what ?

The BOX was ReSealed by them, not like they have promise me before the purchase. Something fishy here... They send me a picture with a Factory Sealed BOX and make me buy the phone, but what i have received was a ReSealed BOX. Phone has fingerprints on the screen as well.

I contact them already and we agree to send back the device for a refund. Now, why i am upset ? Well, becquse they promise something, and then you received a different thing. This was my first and only one purchase from WondaMobile. I'll stay away from them from now on.

Here you have pictures with the ReSealed BOX they sent me.

PS : I'll wait to see what i would receive from the other Seller from Aliexpress, if it would be Sealed BOX or not, like he promise me.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] BigDisplay:
Amateurs, really unprofessional, hate liar's. I will remember that and never buy from them to.

They deserve a review on Trustpilot.

Which shop do you buy from on Aliexpress?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] filip_pine:
I have a favorite Seller on Aliexpress which always send me Sealed BOX from Factory. The first unit of Mate 20 X that arrived to me was from Shenzen PopHong Store. I had very good communication with this seller and very pleseant transactions always. Back in time he send me 2pcs LeTV Le Max X900 in Factory Sealed BOX !

Because i have request Sealed BOX, they did not Open the Box to check device, for this reason i have received a Factory fault unit ( I post picture in another thread few weeks ago ). I know this was my fault, as i have request Factory Sealed BOX and they were not allowed to open the BOX before shipment, but i rather received a Factory fault unit rather than a used one or Open BOX.

Second order now is from another store on Aliexpress, HW Retail Store.. i'll wait to see if they will keep their promise and send me Original Factory Sealed BOX . Keep you updated... meanwhile, tomorrow i'll return the package back to WondaMobile by DHL.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CCJ22:
I also got a refund today. What a waste of time from that seller.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jairus78:
Got my refund as well today. I don't go out of my way to leave negative feedback on eBay sellers but I was so upset that he wasted so many people's time that I left him a negative feedback to warn other buyers. He no longer has Mate 20 Xs for sale but just listed some P9s for sale. What a joke.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frankieboy1233:
I ordered from Wondamobile, I have read in this thread that they open the box for checking, but I didn't care, the phone arrived after a week in perfect condition, I'm a happy user since a month, so I gave them 5 stars on trusrpilot. I'll definitely order my next phone from them.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] BigDisplay:
Nice.

Then is okay in my world, its no okay if they promise not to open the box.

I bought from Wondamobile & the box had no seal on it. The phone & contents was wrapped in the factory sealed cellophane. The phone is new & works perfectly. Theirs comms was very good too.

Looks like we might be getting an official release in the uk via clove (https://www.clove.co.uk/huawei-mate-20-x)

Quite a premium over importing though, you can get the 8/256 version for less than this model.

After a very bad experience with WondaMobile, which one of these stores do you guys recommend me ?

GizTop - Liaow - Shenzhen JTWX Store ( Aliexpress ) ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] 3DD:
I checked and they seem to have it for the same price now as clove. :(

Either way, i think importing is better as you can still get it for cheaper, only real benefit for buying locally is the warranty. It having a formal release in the uk should also make getting accessories for it easier as well. :good:

ANd what was the issue with phones from resealed boxes?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] filip_pine:
There were no issues at all, but i just want to received a Sealed BOX, not an Open BOX .. Usually, they open the box to test the unit and all the accesories inside...

The downside of the open box could be this one: You could receive a phone which has been returned back from another customer... Chinesee are good at ,, restore '' them to Factory Conditiond and sold them like ,, NEW '' ( but open Box to check the device ), this might be a little bit tricky... You'll never know if your phone has been opened to be tested and to see if everything is working ok, or if that phone is a returned phone from another customer...

I don't buy any phone unless it comes in Factory Sealed BOX... but hey, that's me, i know not everyone is like me... Cheers :)

The global ROM will come out around 15th November according to WondaMobile , the Chinese one will be fine people but if you want HDR Netflix and you tube , your chances on Chinese model is slim where global will have better chance. Problem is that the mate 20x like Honor note 10 won't be released around the world so for Netflix and Amazon, the phone not worth them adding . Huawei advertise HDR video etc but I find handsets released around the globe get this only .

Hey guys,

Always been a note fan, but after seeing huawei mate 20 x I am jumping ship. I am from australia, and I have no idea between the difference of Chinese model and global model, can someone please explain?

I was going t ok buy from wonda mobile till I realised it was Chinese model, does it still work with Australian bands and networks?

Thank you
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeepentj:
I'm anxious for users to actually get the Chinese variant in their hands to find out how well it's going to work for the rest of us. I know there have been many claims it's won't work well (that you can't de-China it) but there are also lots of stories indicating it won't be an issue. Hopefully we'll have some solid claims from those who have ordered and used the phone soon. This feedback will result in me deciding to order the Chinese variant or skipping the phone altogether.

And to be clear, I hope the issues aren't a big deal because I really, really want this phone!!! :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
It looks like the Chinese model will be the one to get, like the Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20. As far as I understand it, the Mate 20X will also have a completely locked down bootloader in the global variant (but not in the Chinese one).
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] lawtq:
This is the one consolation. I ordered it from Liaow, next day wonda stocked it cheaper. Annoyed with my impatient arrse!

Like another said this has to be a success! My mate 20 pro screen is just too small
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
No, he is showing the EVR-AL00. Notice all the Chinese writing on app titles, etc., even though the phone settings are English? If you want to see what the Global version, the EVR-L29 looks like (all English - no Chinese), then watch this video which clearly shows the "about phone", etc. as the EVR-L29 (so it does already exist):

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Rudi07:
Sorry, I may have expressed something misleading, or it was because of the bad Google translation :) I said that the YouTuber speaks about the Chinese model EVR-AL00 Because in another post someone had to consider that the Playstore or Whats app not on the EVR-AL00 model is running. In the course of the video he talks about getting a Hong Kong model for testing. I'm curious if this is the Global Version. I hope the Global Version will also be available with 8/256 GB.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
I've decided I'm going to wait to see if FunkyHuawei or other meathods allow conversion of 8/256 Chinese to global. That seems like it would be the best regime. Has anyone done this on other devices? Is it a 100% switch with full global OTA updates and such on a model that technically didn't exist with such specs?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
Is Wonda a legit site? Anyone have any experience with them?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
It doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, it has an unlockable bootloader (via FH or other paid methods). Global will almost certainly be un-unlockable, like the Global versions of Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mscion:
I live in US. Bought a Xiaomi Mi Mix and a Huawei Mate 10 from Wonda Mobile. Also bought the Huawei 360 camera attachment from them. I thought service was very good and experienced no problems. Earlier I had purchased a Mate 9 from Geekbuying with no problem. I switched to Wonda because they would flash the L29 firmare on the Chinese model. Worked fine. Not sure if Wonda will be able to do same type of thing with Mate 20X because of locked bootloader issue. But if I buy the 20X I will likely buy L29 version from Wonda.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
Thank you that is awesome info!! What is L29 firmware? I'm assuming it's the software that the global variant would ship with?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
Yep. Sure is. The EVR-L29 is the global version. Not the China version.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Yeah...have emailed FunkyHuawei....they aren't getting any warm fuzzy that rebrand on mate 20 x will be possible. Guessing Wonda used similar approaches and we are going to be out of luck getting custom 8/256 l29 models. Sort of unfortunate.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mscion:
Hi. Check the thread about the Chinese Mate 20X in Questions and answers section. You'll find more info on differences between firmware there. One difference not mentioned is that the L29 version of Mate 10 allowed for 2 sim cards but the "European" version, L09, only allowed one sim. Of course none of this may hold for Mate 20X. Indeed, as far as I know, there is no L09 version of Mate 20X.

I'm doing my best to understand/decipher these posts here but it seems by what im reading that the chinese version would be preferred if you can access the ability to unlock thus giving you the freedom to do whatever you want with the device be it loading the global variant/twrp/lineage or whatever else comes along, although i do not believe i have seen evidence that this is the case but only suggestions, thanks for the read!, damn sick phone i will be keeping my US eyes on!

Unless you read Chinese the main reason folks want the Chinese model is it has better specs. But I won't get it unless the L29 version of the software can be flashed on it.
