Has anybody ordered the Mavic 4 from Ebay? Shipped from Korea.

Is it possible Luke has a china connection who is breaking down the packages, bulk shipping the seperate complements like batteries, carry bags, remotes, pre-activated (used) drones, etc. to him here in the states. They would also break down and ship the empty original boxes, which then get reconstituted here, and matched to the correct s/n drone, add in the various components, and voila! New/used packages with a nice profit margin to cover the “assembly” costs.

Kind of like stripping a car on the street, and then buying the remaining empty carcass at the wholesale salvage auction, when the insurance company auctions it off, and then reassembling everything, and selling it under a salvage title! Clever!

Is there no difference in the DJI Care Refresh price for the Creator Combo version, with the much larger 512GB SSD, instead of the 64GB SSD?

Apparently not; at least no difference that I can find. M3P Cine was different.

I wonder if it is higher or lower because they are both the same price? Probably lower because Mavic 3 Pro prices are slightly higher.

If there is no difference in the Care Refresh price, the regular 64GB buyers are clearly subsidizing the 512GB versions!

I also suspect the 512GB owners file less claims because they are less reckless and have more to lose, if the drone is used for content creation for a business, instead of a mere hobbyist flying for fun.

Prices have definitely started to rise on the more recent listings; however, I still see a few units being sold at the original pricing with free shipping. I guess the question is going to be whether there are now additional fees being charged to the eBay buyer when receiving their drone from the Japan or Korean shipper. I’ve heard of only one instant where someone bought a drone from Japan and received the fee notification from the carrier.

My last Korean seller, With_USA_Store is now charging $820 more for the Creator Combo than I paid them, and the buyer is responsible for all tariffs on top of that, which, officially are 55% because of China being the country of origin (where it was manufactured, not where it is being shipped to you from)!

Too early to tell. No such shipments have been received yet.
It will completely depend upon how each seller chooses to deal with the new changes. Officially, a 55% tariff should apply because of being manufactured in China.

Stay tuned.

Yes I'm in that wait and see mode as well. Looking to get the M4P OEM filters next and then maybe one more battery. I think there is a still a $100 cutoff for anything under that if it's a gift is the new so-called de-minimus if the country will ship it but many will not because they are "confused" as are we.

I do not need it now but I wanted one more battery, so I guess I will wait and see. Adorama keeps pushing back the possible arrival date for one from October to November
