Is there any danger in buying one of the aftermarket batteries on Ebay? My standard is a 950 and I see them as much as 2300 available on Ebay but know they are potentially cheap, knockoff types, any danger in harming my X30?

thanks for the wisdom of the wise

TeaSac,

I have bought a couple of batteries from eBay for my X50 and they have been excellent. In fact, the one I just bought is a 1000mAh one and it seems to have longer life than any of the previous ones I had. Cheap, too ... about 10 bucks. In fact - I've had real good luck with all the vendors on eBay so far - just make sure you pick one with a high feedback rating and you should be good to go.

-CB :D

I havent found ANY battery for my Dell IBM or Compaq that is from a European or US come to that vendor there ALL from China or Hong kong.

If i buy from them i save $30 on an 1800ma battery but have to pay DHL $80 handling and excise charges

The last item i bought a small camera lense from New your;the lense(nikon macro) cost $40 shipping included via US post DHL grabed it when it arrived in France added $43 handling & $67 customs excise charges.When i went to the customs office they found $37 charged to a "zero" rated tax plus the 21% VAT on the total which was also well wrong!

Before the WTO and USA started "free" trade i bought in New york without problems or extra charges

I purchased a 1700ma extended off ebay, & I'm happy with it soo far. Don't particular enjoy the "extended" part of it when I'm using it at my desk though.
