I had once purchased a phone online using my paypal, unverified at that, through ebuystore.com.ph. But now, they won't accept paypal payments anymore.
Ebuystore is a Philippine-based company so it was easier to purchase through them.
Do you have any idea where we could shop online for cellphones without going through that tedious process in ebay because there, it seems like there's this bidding process that I could not understand?
It was such a breeze with ebuystore before but now I couldn't seem to find a similar online shop.
Please help. Thanks!

It wont be problem for online shop there are many here in our country, one problem though is your next criteria that the shop should accept paypal payment. what cellphone do you have in mind.

Just a cherry mobile dual sim for an eload business. I didn't want to pay in cash so I was responding like mad here on myLot just to reach my earnings and then this - ebuystore no longer accepts paypal. They said it's just for the meantime, though.
But I have come across a blog that says Philippines is blacklisted on Paypal because of many applicants who verify their accounts with fake credit cards.
We always find ways of screwing things up, don't we?

It does happen, but its not with fake credit cards, as you see there are many credit card users who purchases either online or in our local shops who does not pay their credit bills. Why dont you try alibaba but i still find that China mobiles which you can buy from local store still cheaper than buying them online.

You can still purchase from EBay but instead of bidding you only look for "Buy Now" items. I when I want something without having to wait for the bidding to end and also most "Buy Now" prices include shipping costs.

I just checked and it is "Buy It Now" and they have thousands of them for sale.
Thanks white, you're an angel!

i haven't tried that but you can inquire at ebay philippines. i don't indulge myself into complicated stuffs like that. i buy phone using my credit card. when you use paypal, there's a lot of processing to do.

i know it could be tedious. I tried once but it was very rewarding when my very first online-bought phone was delivered right on our very doorstep.
I have no credit card and I couldn't pay in cash. I am in my most broke state right now.

They don't have the product that I'm searching for.
Ebuystore.com.ph advised me to wait a little bit because the setback is only temporary.
