DJI Mini 5 Pro question

FWIW, I don't think what they are doing is legal, so past experiences aren't guaranteed to play out the same way in the future. However, sellers have been misrepresenting products when shipping internationally for a long time.

With that said, I do think you'll receive whatever you buy. Just keep in mind that you might get hit with unexpected import fees that could wipe out the savings you were expecting.

I haven't seen anyone mention that happening yet, so the chances are likely very slim, especially if you place your order sooner rather than later.

You make a point which is why folks are concerned about ebay sellers overseas and ebay sellers in general but at least the 102_store has a very solid track record and has been trustworthy to numerous people. There is nothing illegal about buying from overseas like this if the dealer itself is honest but it IS important for people to understand that these drones come only with a manufacturers warranty AND it has to be executed from within the country it is bought. That means in order to get warranty work done you have to return it to the seller and have them intervene which I know has happened in the past for some people but I sure don't count on it. With that in mind, I have State Farm insurance on my newer drones.

The drone I purchased from a South Korean seller identified it as exactly what it was on the customs declaration.

Right, I'm agreeing the track record has been fantastic, but also there are no guarantees for future purchases.

Some Korean sellers (102_store included I believe) are mispresenting packages. For example, this post shows a Mavic 4 Pro was declared as a Milwaukee Cordless Drill.

Also, note this fine print at the very bottom of the 102_store listings on eBay:

Customs

1. Custom Tax

According to Ebay Policy, Custom tax/ Duty/VAT are under Buyer’s responsibility.

If your local customs charge for the customs tax/ Duty /VAT/ Brokerage Fees/ Handling Fees,

The buyer will have to pay for it.

So before purchasing, please check the tax rate with your local custom .

I also try my best to reduce the tax or duty according to your request.
