We've likely created a small industry for reselling drones in South Korea

Looking at drones on eBay, I can across these photos from one of our trusted seller dw_store, here's the listing: [NEW] DJI Neo 2 Fly More Combo [Drone Only] [3 Batteries + Charging Stand]

Check out their little operation. I can't imagine they would be servicing much more than mostly US customer needs. Having been on eBay for awhile, pretty sure none of this was here last year and I don't remember *anyone* buying a drone from South Korea (obviously I'm not 100% sure where exactly this place is located but I assume SK).

If this doesn't inspire confidence in your purchase, not sure what does. I'm impressed (not AI):

Funny you should mention dw_store13 & the Neo 2 Fly More Combo (Drone only)+3 batteries+charging stand. I ordered this combo from them on Friday, Nov. 14, and received on Monday, Nov. 24th. Only addition fees were shipping & CA sales tax.

OEM DJI packaging was intact, inside a generous wrapping of bubble-wrap inside a plain shipping box. Charged batteries, activated, and tested out great for gesture & Fly App control. They didn't have the transmission module at the time, so I ordered it separately from another vendor. Is should arrive next week.

Sweet little drone! Looking forward to flying it with my controllers also.

The other SK vendor I've had great dealings with is (102_store00 | eBay Stores). I ordered an Avata 2 combo from them in September. Great service & price!

Several other sellers are doing the same; look for their details in the image and look out for these images on their listings to give you a better idea who you are dealing with. Maybe also learn to spot AI when in use because one day, it will be prevalent as well. So far, all is looking good, no AI here; kudos to our South Korean capitalist eBay sellers supporting the American drone community during these times:

Thanks for posting, was always curious about their operation. I purchased 3 Mavic 4 creator's and 2 Mini 5 Plus's from DW. Never an issue. Also for what its worth K-Wave is the same as DW.

I am really anxious to obtain the DJI Mini 5 Pro fly more in the next 3 weeks before the final hammer comes down on the DJI ban, but I am really spooked by the stories of scams in today's forum, and losing my payment to a scammer who may be overseas and un-reachable. Has anyone, including you, received merchandise from the companies you listed (photos from one of our trusted seller dw_store, here's the listing: [NEW]). Were you sartisfied with your transactions. Feel free to correspond with me, either through the forum here or private direct message.

Got my neo 2 from K-wave store on eBay. No issues, they contacted me when they shipped. Took about 6 days to get to me in Cali. No import fees. Pretty sure those are cooked into their price and shipping costs. Payment wise, my eBay account is connected to my credit card so if there was a problem I can hash it out with them.
Got another neo from “with_us store”. Again fast shipping and problem free. Just checked with them, they have the Mini 5 pro combo plus for $1049 plus 93 shipping. About the same as what I paid for on Amazon when they shipped drone was reasonably priced.

Agreed. The forum has quite a few positive experiences with purchasing drones on eBay and some of the threads are pretty lengthy so it might be difficult to digest all the details. I, too was apprehensive when we first started dealing with sellers in South Korea. We are all used to buying everything from China but up until late last year, very few electronics sold out of Korea that you couldn't get from China with free shipping. As you know, the tariff situation (and the relationship with China) changed everything and there was a shift. All of a sudden it was like a tidal wave with sellers like "K-wave" coming out of nowhere to fill in the gap and we appreciate it immensely. Understandable it's spending quite a bit of money when you can just pay more and get something from Amazon but I'm a big fan and a supporter of the eBay effort at this point.

Dale, if you want to post a link to the eBay seller or the listing and get a recommendation or feedback from the forum, we can let you know our thoughts if that would help you make the final purchase decision. In addition, if you prefer to send me a PM, happy to help as well. So many of us have made multiple purchases (I've made 3) at this point, we are comfortable with the South Korean (and Japanese) eBay relationship so far.

I purchased a Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo Plus from K-Wave on EBay for roughly $1080 including shipping. It was brand new with no additional tariffs and arrived in 4 days to Los Angeles. They currently have one listed for roughly the same price so I would jump on that ASAP. You really can’t go wrong with any of the other sellers listed on this forum where users have had a positive experience.

I’ve purchased a few Mini 5 Pros from Peter at the 102_store00 and they arrived in TN within 3 days, and no tariffs. All were packed great and registered just fine.

I’ve also purchased several Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combos from SK Lee at dooroomitrade on ebay and they all arrived very quickly without tariffs and registered just fine as well.

If I need more drones, I’ll compare pricing again from the 102_store00, dooroomitrade and with the other known good sellers to see who has the best price at that time and wouldn’t hesitate to buy from K-wave, dw_store, with_us store, or a few others that also look like good stores to buy from.

I also bought a few Mini 5 Pros on Amazon from the MUQQ store when they had them at $1,59 for the plus combos via Prime.

I have purchased multiple drones from this Korean seller with no issues.

I have also heard about multiple positive experiences with these

Looks like the Koreans are having a nice sale right now on the DJI stuff so this might be a good time to pull the trigger.

They were also on my short list to buy from! They had some really great pricing at times and I actually tried to buy a Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo from them, but somebody snagged the last one seconds before I was able to complete my transaction during that time when eBay was giving in an additional 15% off through a special promotion. They loaded up more drones for sale the following day, but the eBay promotion was no longer available with them, which is why I bought at Dooroomi Trade who still had the eBay promotion active at that time.

You really have watch pricing with all these stores because these promotions sometimes don’t last very long and pricing definitely changes.

Yeah I snagged the normal fly more combo from them when it was $2200 with the discounts; I was very happy with that purchase.

That’s a GREAT price for sure. I should’ve probably bought a few of those as well at that price, but now I’m waiting for the Avata 3 / 360 which I’m hoping will be available before too long. I would think they’d want this available for purchase before Christmas, but time will tell.

Yeah I'm debating that one as well for my first FPV like drone. I'm hoping its out before Christmas but I'm also hoping they didn't rush it because of the infinity.
